In this World
Systems Officer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if it goes dark
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
I gotta make this decision
Do I take this road
There are tow sides to choose from
Make a decision
Why must they go away
Why did this happen to us again
Decision gone wrong
The lyrics to Systems Officer's song In This World speak to the decision-making process and the consequences of those decisions. The opening lines "The sun is shining today, what if it goes dark" sets the mood of uncertainty about the future. The repeated "Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho" suggests a lingering sense of anxiety and questioning.
The singer then faces a decision and hints at the possibility of regret: "I gotta make this decision, do I take this road, there are two sides to choose from, make a decision." The sense of urgency and pressure is palpable in the repetition and the slight variations in the lyrics.
The next lines suggest a sense of loss and questioning: "Why must they go away, aren't we enough for them to stay, why did this happen to us again, decision gone wrong." The loss could be interpreted as a lack of support or loss of loved ones. The repetition of "decision gone wrong" reinforces the idea that choices have consequences.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of uncertainty, doubt, and the weight of responsibility in decision-making. The repetition and slight variations create a sense of tension and unease that complements the theme of the song.
