All Around The World
The Voice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Display your emotions of anger and fright
A birthplace to be and the best place to fight
But most of us have to be home by ten
Look out for truth when it's full of surprise
In need of assistance?
Try one of these guys
But most of all
Let us go home again

Don't run
Should I have a gun?
Or maybe a map
I might need a nap
No more demands
When we all hold hands
At the end of the world

Skeptical islands and ships they will pass
Too proud to cloud in a radiant glass
God save them all
I'd like to have them all

And fly
The full moon is high
The land sea and sky
It gets in my eye
And everyone stands




When we all hold hands
At the end of the world

Overall Meaning

The Voice's song, "All Around the World," is a powerful commentary on the state of the world in which we live. The opening line, "Display your emotions of anger and fright," sets the tone for the song, suggesting that there is much that is wrong in the world today. The second line, "A birthplace to be and the best place to fight," suggests that there is still hope for change, but that this change will only come through struggle.


The next couple of lines, "But most of us have to be home by ten / Look out for truth when it's full of surprise," suggest that there is a tension between the desire to rebel and the need to conform. This is a common theme in the song, as the singer struggles to find their place in the world. The lines "In need of assistance? / Try one of these guys" speak to the idea that there are people and organizations out there that can help us make sense of the world around us.


But ultimately, the song is a call to action. The lines "But most of all / Let us go home again" suggest that the world can be a better place, but that it is up to us to make that happen. The final lines, "And everyone stands / When we all hold hands / At the end of the world," seem to suggest that there is a need for unity and cooperation if we are to bring about positive change.

Bogdan Ioan always one of the best auditions, sounds exactly like MJ and the judges reactions are absolutely insane, probably the craziest judge reaction on any voice show ever

I love it when coaches start singing along and even better when they start get up and start dancing to it. I know Mattias's video is one of the most watched from another YouTube compilation. They were rolling around and belting it out with him. I also love how the coach gave a little kiss to the camera. I think it was the next guy too who had the female judge in the sparkling silver dress dancing and they had the pretty gold sparkling guitar to match lol.

Magdalena Pascar and Patricia van Haastrecht : so much thruth and intensity in their choice of song and their interpretation. You can't help but get chills* when Magdalena sings a song like this, in light of her situation (*if not tears).
By the way, the contrast with the happyness around the singer from Swiss just after is welcomed. Great video.
