Worlds Away
Witchskull Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke up in this dirt today
Ashen stained across my face
The winter of my life remains
And now I'm only worlds away

Gathered dust
Moving on
With the ants and rain I'm free

To melt into the timeless tides

I'm only worlds away
Only worlds

Blackened with a red stained mind
Judgment walks the silent line
And now I walk towards the sun
The fallen idol only one

Gladly trust
The Birds of Fire
Healing Ray's
Along this line

I'm only world's away
Only worlds

Hold on to Light
Watch them go on the horizon

Hold on to me
We haven't come this far to die

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Witchskull's song Worlds Away speaks of awakening in filth and ash, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for despair and being weighed down by the ashes of one's past. The vocalist speaks of the "winter of my life," suggesting that they feel old or that life has been difficult thus far. However, the next line, "now I'm only worlds away," offers a glimmer of hope or a realization that things can and will get better. This could mean that the singer is discovering a newfound sense of clarity, which is helping them to move on from the past and start anew.

The subsequent lines describe embracing the freedom to move on, just as the ants and rain do, and to become one with the tides, suggesting a willingness to let go of control or let things happen naturally. The rest of the song talks about a "red-stained mind" and "judgment walking the silent line," which could imply guilt or regret for past mistakes. Despite this, the singer walks towards the sun, symbolizing a hopeful new beginning. The "Birds of Fire" and "Healing Ray's" could represent hope and positivity, helping the singer to heal and move forward. The lyrics "hold on to me, we haven't come this far to die" could be interpreted as a plea to not give up, to fight for life and to push through the adversities.
