THE WORLD
Yuki Kajiura/Emily Bindiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Joy is like pain
It feels like a miracle
You can't turn back, you're in chains
Never again
Return from a cynical world
If you feel you've loved me in vain
In the warm breeze you will cry
Again and again
That's fate for a criminal
Good intentions lost in thin air
You were craving for affection
And a certain invitation
Led you here to me in the cynical world
No one but me, in this cold place
I will love and serve you, criminal
That's your final consolation
Now hang on to me, in the cynical world
The song "The World" by Yuki Kajiura/Emily Bindiger tells the story of two people who find themselves in a world that is cynical and unforgiving. Despite the harshness of their surroundings, they find solace in each other, with the chorus proclaiming that "Joy is like pain, it feels like a miracle." The first verse sets the scene, with the singers standing in the rain and feeling trapped by their circumstances. They acknowledge that they are chained to their past, unable to change the mistakes they've made.
The second verse addresses the feeling of love being in vain. The singers suggest that rather than trying to forget past mistakes, it's better to relive them and cry in the warm breeze. The chorus repeats, hammering home the idea that the joy and pain they feel is a miracle that they must cling to. The third verse suggests that good intentions are often lost, and that people crave affection and a way out of their cynical world. The singers acknowledge that they are the only ones who can offer that kind of comfort to each other, and that they will hold on to each other no matter the cost.
The song is a stirring and emotional tale of love found in harsh circumstances. The bleakness of the world they inhabit only serves to heighten the power of their feelings for each other. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people trapped by their pasts, but who find the strength to hold on and love each other nonetheless.
Line by Line Meaning
Here we stand in ravishing rain
We are standing here in a beautiful yet tumultuous situation
Joy is like pain
The intense happiness we feel is akin to the agony of pain
It feels like a miracle
This moment seems like an incredibly unlikely, miraculous occurrence
You can't turn back, you're in chains
You are unable to go back to the way things used to be, trapped in your current circumstance
Never again
The past cannot be changed or repeated
Return from a cynical world
The possibility of leaving behind a jaded and pessimistic perspective
If you feel you've loved me in vain
If you believe that your love for me has been unreturned
Why not re-live your guilty love affairs
Perhaps you could experience your past loves again, despite the shame that may accompany them
In the warm breeze you will cry
You might find yourself weeping in the pleasant, comforting wind
Again and again
This cycle may repeat itself
That's fate for a criminal
This is the destiny of someone who has committed a wrongdoing
Good intentions lost in thin air
The best intentions and desires can disappear without a trace
You were craving for affection
You were yearning for love and tenderness
And a certain invitation
You were drawn here by a specific request or summons
Led you here to me in the cynical world
Your search for affection and invitation has brought you here, to this world that is full of pessimism
No one but me, in this cold place
There is no one else here but me in this harsh and unforgiving location
I will love and serve you, criminal
I will offer you love and devotion, despite your wrongdoing
That's your final consolation
This is the only comfort that can be offered to you now
Now hang on to me, in the cynical world
Hold onto me tightly, as we navigate this world that is devoid of hope and optimism

Estar encerrado en "The World" una bendicion o una maldicion para la persona a la que le ocurra.
Aun asi el concepto es fascinante.
