2. Starting in the fall of 2004, Duncan Pelletier and Colin Bradley began hanging out and "jamming" together in Boston, where they both attended college. In between classes and work, these two masterminds, if you will, managed to write, arrange, produce, and perform a sexy R&B album. After recording a follow-up depressing acoustic album as a duo, Colin and Duncan decided to get their heads out of their asses and make Worlds Collide a "real" band. So, Jake Sherman and Sam Caswell joined the fray on drums and blistering lead guitar, respectively. With the addition of new bassist Chris Erikson, the Worlds Collide sound is coming together at a brisk and sexy pace.

Worlds Collide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And beat the drum to what we love?
Risk the fall, oh we have felt it all,
come crashing down from far above.
Stars arising, countless worlds colliding,
only one will take it all.
Can we bring to fall the giants,
Can we make the final call.
To ignite the darkened skies.
The champions,
Of a world that we defy.
A solemn reign,
Of the few who rise up high.
And we all fight,
at the last light.
Hearing voices from afar,
join the madness when the curtain falls.
Risk it all, hold nothing back,
Seize the day, we must attack.
Stars arising, countless worlds colliding,
only one will take it all.
Can we bring to fall the giants,
Can we make the final call.
We are the ones,
To ignite the darkened skies.
The champions,
Of a world that we defy.
A solemn reign,
Of the few who rise up high.
And we all fight,
at the last light.
Can we bring to fall the giants.
We are the ones,
To ignite the darkened skies.
The champions,
Of a world that we defy.
A solemn reign,
Of the few who rise up high.
And we all fight,
at the last light.
