Weight of the World
Skar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In my body and my soul
And the sky, it looks so ominous
And as time comes to a halt
Silence starts to overflow
My cries are inconspicuous
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?
Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will
Come to life
Come to life...
After all the laughter fades
Signs of life all washed away
I can still, still feel a gentle breeze
No matter how hard I pray
Signs of warning still remain
And life has become my enemy
Tell me God, are you punishing me?
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
This is my redemption song
I need you more than ever right now
Can you hear me now?
Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will
Come to life
Come to life
Come to life...
Cause we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I wish that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Still, we're going to shout it loud
Even if our words seem meaningless
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
I hope that someway, somehow
That I could save every one of us
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will
Come to life
Come to life...
The lyrics to Skar's song, "Weight of the World," convey a deep sense of hopelessness and despair. The singer feels like she is losing hope in her body and soul, and the ominous sky seems to reflect her mood. Time seems to slow down, and she is enveloped by an overwhelming silence. Her cries for help are barely audible, and she wonders whether God is punishing her for her past mistakes.
Despite all of this, the singer is determined to keep going, to keep shouting her message out loud, even if it feels like her words are meaningless. She feels like she is carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, and she wishes that she could save everyone. She knows, however, that she is only one person, and that the task is too great for her alone. She keeps hoping that her dreams will come true, but she is aware of the signs of warning that still remain, and she can feel that life itself has become her enemy.
The song is a powerful expression of the struggles that we all face in life, and the way that we can sometimes feel overwhelmed by the weight of our responsibilities. At the same time, it is a song of hope, reminding us that even when we feel like we are all alone, we can still shout our message out loud and that dreams can come to life.
Line by Line Meaning
I feel like I'm losing hope
I am starting to feel hopeless and defeated
In my body and my soul
This feeling of hopelessness is affecting both my physical and emotional state
And the sky, it looks so ominous
The appearance of the sky adds to this feeling of impending doom
And as time comes to a halt
The passage of time seems to slow down and drag on
Silence starts to overflow
The lack of noise or action intensifies my feelings of hopelessness
My cries are inconspicuous
Despite my inner turmoil, I am unable to express my pain outwardly
Tell me God, are you punishing me?
I am questioning if my current situation is a form of divine punishment
Is this the price I'm paying for my past mistakes?
I am wondering if my current struggles are a consequence of my past actions
This is my redemption song
I view this song as a way to seek forgiveness and make amends for my past mistakes
I need you more than ever right now
I am reaching out to a higher power for help and guidance
Can you hear me now?
I am questioning whether or not my calls for help are being answered
Cause we're going to shout it loud
We are determined to make our voices heard, even if it seems futile
Even if our words seem meaningless
We will continue to speak out, even if it feels like no one is listening
It's like I'm carrying the weight of the world
The burden of my struggles feels immensely heavy and overwhelming
I wish that someway, somehow
I have a deep desire and hope that things can get better
That I could save every one of us
I wish that I had the power to fix everyone's problems and bring about positive change
But the truth is that I'm only one girl
I come to accept that I am limited in my ability to make a significant impact by myself
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
I hold onto hope that if I continue to have faith, my aspirations will be realized
After all the laughter fades
Once the joy and happiness subside
Signs of life all washed away
Any indication of vitality and vibrance disappears
I can still, still feel a gentle breeze
Despite the loss and despair, there is still a small glimmer of hope
No matter how hard I pray
Even with my relentless efforts to seek help and direction
Signs of warning still remain
There are still indications that something is wrong and needs to be addressed
And life has become my enemy
My struggles have made existence itself an obstacle to overcome
Still, we're going to shout it loud
Despite the odds against us, we will not be silenced
I hope that someway, somehow
I still have a glimmer of hope and desire for things to improve
Maybe if I keep believing my dreams will come to life
I hold onto the idea that with faith and perseverance, positive change is possible
Come to life...
May my dreams and aspirations become a reality

Holy s***! 100k views in such a short amount of time. That is absolutely insane. Thank you all so much for watching and sharing this cover. I love you all!
Thought I'd adress one question here since so many are asking/commenting about it, and that is regarding the "I'm only one girl" line. I think that what is written in the lyrics are final. I am only singing the lyrics like I am reading a book. I personally feel it would be disrespectful to change it since we all know the character that these words are written by. If I changed the girl part it would no longer be that persons lyrics I am conveying. This is how I feel about it anyways! :)
@DaBigMike27
liked, shared and subbed. Awesome work dude! Your cover of The Wolven Storm is just as great!
@davidv.4004
I got actual chills from this. So good.
@Hanjikara
To be honest, that is fine. We don't care about that "I'm only one girl" portion of the lyrics. Because for one, you are portraying how you feel with your voice within the song itself and its the originality that counts and I respect that.
@nicolausang3626
Nicely done, subscribed
@FeralPhilosopher
I thought about that the first time I listened to it. I ultimately came to a similar conclusion. It's why you don't see women artists who cover songs about men eyeing that special gal change the respective pronouns. The music was built to fit the words, and the words are meant to fit the music. And you can't reasonably change the lyrics without turning a cover into something not a cover.

The only regret I have after playing Nier: Automata is that I'll never be able to play it for the first time again.
@jasskeeper8152
Cpt. Dandilion bc you so fucked up right?
@ShadowKaosStar
I'm still waiting patiently for a PC port so I can play it, so I haven't fucked up yet, so to speak yaya
@Deras_
for nier: automata?, the pc release was one week after the console release, if you meant the other nier parts, they won't get a port
