Weight of the World
Split Shift Lyrics

The lyrics of Split Shift's song Weight Of The World seem to describe a sense of frustration and helplessness in the face of external forces that control and manipulate us. The opening lines, "We can feel this deep inside of us, Taking it back from the ones who control us", suggest a desire to resist this control and regain agency over our lives. However, the following lines reveal the difficulty of this task, as the weight of the world seems to bear down on the singer, leaving them constantly frustrated and shaken. The repetition of the phrase "Carry the weight of the world" emphasizes this sense of burden and obligation, as if the singer has no choice but to endure the struggles and challenges of life.

Despite the challenges, the final lines of the song suggest a resilience and determination to continue moving forward, even when the toll of carrying this weight becomes too much to bear. The line "The months roll past its taking a toll now" suggests a sense of time passing and the weariness that comes with prolonged struggle. However, the use of the present tense throughout the song highlights the ongoing nature of this struggle, as if the weight of the world is a constant presence in our lives that we must learn to live with.
