Utopía
Within Temptation ( Ft.Chris Jones) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burning desire to live and roam free
It shines in the dark and it grows within me
You're holding my hand but you don't understand
So where I am going you won't be in the end

I'm dreaming in colors of getting the chance
I'm dreaming of china the perfect romance
The search of the door to open your mind
The search of the cure of mankind

Help us, we're drowning
So closed up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

I'm searching for answers not given for free
They live inside as they lie within me
You hold my hand but you don't understand
Taking the road all alone in the end
I'm dreaming in colors, no boundaries again
Dreaming the dream we all seem to share

The search of the door to open your mind
The search of the cure of mankind

Help us, we're drowning
So closed up inside

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?

Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?
Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?
Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia?




How will the lights die down, telling us who we are?
Why does it rain?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Within Temptation’s “Utopia” song express the burning desire of a person to live freely and roam without any restrictions. The song conveys the message that there’s a bright spark within each of us that shines brightly in the dark but often goes unnoticed. The lyrics contain a sense of urgency, as the person seeks to escape the current situation and find a better future.


The song expresses the frustration of living in an imperfect world, which causes us to feel trapped and drowning within ourselves. The lyrics depict a journey of self-discovery, exploring the ideas of searching for answers and pushing boundaries in life. Despite the presence of a partner or a friend, the person still feels alone on their path, taking control of their journey independently.


The song suggests that society places limitations on individuals and that people must break away from these restrictions to find true happiness. The chorus, “Why does it rain, rain, rain down on utopia? Why does it have to kill the ideal of who we are?,” reveals disappointment in how society crushes our dreams and forces us to conform to its standards.
