Worlds Away
Take Shape Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do I need to feel this way?
Put me down I'm scared of falling.
I need to hear someone say;
I know that you feel so alone, so do I". (
I'm demanding what should be earned).
My life requires change but I don't know.
So help me try. (
I'll just shrug it off and be alone again)
It doesn't look that far but I am worlds away from everything I know.
Everything I love.
But I can see it.
I can see you.
I need your help again.
I was never taught the lessons I needed.
I've never felt a pain so bad, yet I always repeat it.
My tests of will have made scared to die.
And I know when I choose to live this way I'm not really alive.
Alive and breathing.
I'm still here alone.
I feel so far away.
The song "Worlds Away" by Take Shape is about feeling lost and alone in one's life, and the struggle to overcome those feelings. The singer is at a high point, both literally and metaphorically, and anticipates a fall. They acknowledge that they need help, but are unsure how to initiate change in their life. They demand what they believe they deserve, but there is no response, leaving them to their own devices. The singer is worlds away from everything they know and love, but they can still see it, and they reach out for help once again.
The lyrics show the singer's vulnerability and fear of change, yet their determination to keep trying to improve their life. The repetition of the phrase "I need your help again" emphasizes the singer's need for someone to support them as they navigate through difficult times. The line "my tests of will have made scared to die" highlights the fear of failure that can paralyze someone from making changes in their life. Ultimately, the song is about the struggle to move forward despite the fear and uncertainty that comes with change.

Siempre he sido fan de Ian en IT PREVAILS pero TAKE SHAPE va para una de las mejores bandas lo juro
Tyler Wilkerson
Ian you are a musical genius awesome jam
spiderweb_
this album is also Ian? sounds so much different...though I haven't listened to perdition even yet so I could be on the old sound. Though I feel like Gain, which they just released the video for, sounds more like traditional Ian. So is this EP definitely Ian?

Man, feel as if this was written straight from my life. I can relate to this in so many ways. What a beautiful song.. musically and lyrically. Also inspiring me to pick up a guitar again.
