Our World
Ultraphonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
Can you see the window of pain?
Written on your face, today
I'm not out to rely on fate
What we have here and now
Depends on the road we take
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
Come with me to a cloud of Grey
Play follow the leader
So dizzy today. Uh huh
And I feel inhibitions gone
How can you save
What's already long, long gone?
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
And I believe there's a time
You gotta stare it in the face
Our world will erase
Do you need something to lean on?
Can you find?
Who you think I am?
Who you think I am?
Who you think I am?
I Am
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
The world is spinning
And it's right in front of me
Mister tell me who you think I am
Do you need someone to lean on?
Do you want someone to lean on?
In the world...In the world...In the world...
Our world
The lyrics of Ultraphonic's song "Our World" represent a whirlwind of emotions that stem from the chaotic state of our world. The repeated line "The world is spinning and it's right in front of me, Mister tell me who you think I am" portrays the confusion and loss of identity that comes with living in a constantly evolving world. The metaphor of the "window of pain" reflecting your problems written on your face is a powerful image that depicts the struggle of carrying emotional baggage in a world that is seemingly falling apart. The chorus is a plea for guidance and recognition, asking someone to tell them who they think they are in order to find a sense of purpose in a world that is fast and unpredictable.
The second verse takes the listener on a journey up to the "cloud of Grey," where the band urges the listener to let go of inhibitions and join them in a delirious dance of forgetfulness. The question "How can you save what's already long, long gone?" emphasizes the futility of holding onto things that cannot be changed and reinforces the theme of living in the present.
The final verse is a call to action, urging the listener to face reality head-on and take initiative to create a better world, stating "Our world will erase." The ending lines pose the questions, "Do you need someone to lean on? Do you want someone to lean on?" highlighting the human need for connection and support in order to navigate through the chaos of the world.
