Fat Lady
Weightless World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Runaway, runaway tonight
Live your life from nine-to-five
And be careful, fleas can bite
But like a pyre without a fire
Life will tire without a desire
Somehow solace became a solution
Oh really? Was that the point of evolution?
The world is over-crowding
Systems overloading
As if we didn't see what is closing
It's time to rise as reality strikes
It won't be knocking
Won't be knocking
One word to divide this world
There's no right without wrong
Eternal without none
Let go, let us grow
Like a new moon in rising
Tides it will bring
It's time to see
As united we must shape reality
Shape reality
Shape reality
All the greatest crimes of a humankind
In the name of what is right
A right way to live, a right way to die
And only one way to be right
Before long someone is wrong
But you'll stay strong
They will see the way, die if they may
For you, that's just a price to pay!
Blood will spill, our will to kill
Inspired by the simplest thing
The world shall burn, before we learn
The fat lady will sing
She will sing
One word to divide this world
There's no right without wrong
Eternal without none
Let go, let us grow
Like new moon in rising
Tides it will bring
It's time to see
As united we must shape reality
Let's rise
To shape reality
One word to divide this world
There's no right without wrong
Eternal without none
Let go, let us grow
Like new moon in rising
Tides it will bring
It's time to see
As united we must shape reality
The song “Fat Lady” by Weightless World starts by encouraging the listener to close their eyes and run away from the monotony of the daily nine-to-five routine. The lyrics point out that life without passion and desire is like a bonfire without a flame, which is a clever way of saying that it will eventually fizzle out. The singer notes that the world is becoming overpopulated, and systems are straining under the weight of the growing global population. If humanity does not evolve and adapt to the changing world, it will become irrelevant, and the world will move on without it. The chorus is repeated three times, with the singer emphasizing the importance of unity among humanity to shape reality.
The second verse of the song “Fat Lady” by Weightless World depicts how humanity has committed various crimes in the name of self-righteousness. The singer argues that we should learn to let go of our differences and strive to grow together like a new moon rising. We must recognize that the world is too complex to be divided into right and wrong, and that there are multiple ways to approach a problem. We need to unite and work together to shape reality, or else we will suffer the consequences. The final parts of the song denote the self-destructive nature of humanity and how we will pay the price for our actions before the fat lady sings, a metaphorical reference to the end of the show.
Line by Line Meaning
Close your eyes, it is time to hide
It's time to escape reality and hide from the world
Runaway, runaway tonight
Escape tonight, don't wait another day
Live your life from nine-to-five
Live a routine life
And be careful, fleas can bite
Be mindful of small risks
But like a pyre without a fire
Life without passion is unfulfilling
Life will tire without a desire
Living without aspirations gets tiring
Somehow solace became a solution
Finding comfort in mediocre situations is not the goal
Oh really? Was that the point of evolution?
Is settling really what we are meant to do with our evolution?
The world is over-crowding
The world's population is too much
Systems overloading
Systems can't sustain increasing population
As if we didn't see what is closing
We ignored the fact that resources are depleting
It's time to rise as reality strikes
It's time to face reality and rise to the challenge
It won't be knocking
There won't be any warning
One word to divide this world
Only one word is responsible for dividing the world
There's no right without wrong
There is no right if there is no wrong
Eternal without none
Eternal things don't exist
Let go, let us grow
Let's let go of old ways and grow
Like a new moon in rising
Like a new beginning
Tides it will bring
Changes will come
It's time to see
We need to realize the situation
As united we must shape reality
We must join together to shape the future
All the greatest crimes of a humankind
All the worst actions of humans
In the name of what is right
Justified by the idea of doing what's right
A right way to live, a right way to die
Ideas about the correct way to live and die
And only one way to be right
The belief that there is only one right answer
Before long someone is wrong
Eventually, someone will be wrong
But you'll stay strong
Keep believing in yourself
They will see the way, die if they may
Others will see your way, even if it means dying
For you, that's just a price to pay!
But you believe it's worth it
Blood will spill, our will to kill
We have a strong desire to kill each other
Inspired by the simplest thing
Inspired by the most insignificant reasons
The world shall burn, before we learn
The world will be destroyed before we learn our lesson
The fat lady will sing
When this happens, it will be too late to do anything
Let's rise
Let's stand up and fight for what we believe in
To shape reality
To create the future that we want to see
