World Of Promises
Treat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Running, away from the cold
They've travelled so far in the name of love
Hoping their dreams will come true
Working their way thru endless fields
Trying to make it together
And they will give anything
And they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
Up against the ropes
Lost in the city and wondering why
No one will open the door
It's more to the truth than meets the eye
Something they've all felt before
And they will give anything
Just to stand tall once again
And they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
Up against the ropes
In the dead of the night you can hear them crying
Out for a life to hold on to
Somebody knows where the answers lying
Wait for your chance and don't let go
No, oh, yeah
Mmm...
Oh, oh, yeah, ah...
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
Up against the ropes
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
So don't let go
Living in a world of promises
(Fight for your life)
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
(Never surrender)
Living in a world of promises
(Don't let it go)
The lyrics of Treat's song World of Promises tell the story of two people who come from a place where there is no light, and they have come together in the name of love. They are hoping to make their dreams come true and are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. The couple is working hard in the fields, trying to make it together, but they are surrounded by a world of promises that they can't trust. They feel like they are up against the ropes as they are lost in the city, wondering why no one will open the door for them.
Despite their hardships, the couple won't surrender. They are living in a world of promises and dreams, hoping to find their chance and hold on to their life. Throughout the song, there is a sense of struggle, as the couple cries out for help, but they are determined to fight for their life and never surrender. The lyrics of this song are a reminder to stay strong and keep fighting, no matter what hardships come our way.

this is rlly special song .... even the treat probably know they wrote awesome song but they didn't had the idea how to put it into music form ....... they knew that someday , some1 will come , hear their song and fulfill its true potential .... that some1 was band that was formed in 1990 named In Flames ..... no disrespect to any1 but In Flames rlly did awesome job ....

So glad my parents raised me on 80s rock and metal, so I can appreciate this song for what it is: totally fucking awesome. Sure In Flames covered it and made it heavier and faster. That's what happens when you bring an 80s song into the 21st century, but that doesn't invalidate the original by any means. You kind of have to treat them as two different songs altogether. Also, to those guys out there bitching about "people under 25" liking In Flames more or whatever, I'm 19. Just sayin'.

Hearing this is interesting.
Like many in the comments section I'm an In Flames fan and first heard World of Promises from their cover. Same with Depeche Mode's Everything Counts.
