Top Of The World
The Lock Downers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is wonder in most every thing I see
Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Everything I want the world to be
Is now comin' true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be, just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found, ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
In the song "Top of the World" by The Carpenters, the lyrics convey a sense of overwhelming happiness and bliss experienced by the singer. The opening verse describes a feeling of contentment and wonderment that surrounds the singer, as they remark on the beauty of their surroundings with clear skies and the sun shining brightly. The singer expresses a sense of disbelief that such a perfect moment could be real, hinting at a dream-like quality to their current state of joy.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the influence of a significant person in the singer's life, presumably a romantic partner. The singer credits this person for making their dreams come true and bringing heaven into their world. The presence of this loved one is depicted as the main source of the singer's happiness and the reason for their elevated state of being.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's elevated position, both physically and emotionally. Looking down on creation from a metaphorical "top of the world," the singer attributes their newfound perspective and joy to the love they have received since the presence of their significant other. The love shared between the singer and their partner is portrayed as transformative, lifting them to a higher plane of existence and granting them a sense of fulfillment and completeness.
In the final verse, the lyrics touch on a sense of anticipation and hope for the future. The singer expresses a desire for the happiness they are currently experiencing to endure, wishing for a tomorrow that mirrors the joy of the present moment. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that the singer's profound sense of happiness and fulfillment is undeniably linked to the love and companionship of their partner, elevating them to a state of euphoria and contentment that feels almost surreal.
