Another World

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost every day
The weak put up a wall so that they won't be blown away
Fill this empty vessel
This empty vessel
Fill this empty vessel
Before it ends too late
Fill this empty vessel
Fill this empty vessel before it ends too late
Matrimony with a gun
Yeah, throw it away
Tales of hope seem like a dream
Sugar for another day
You'd better double check it
Double check it
You'd better double check it
Before it ends too late
You'd better double check it
Double check it
You'd better double check it
Before it ends too late
Another world waits for its prey today
Another world waits for its prey today
The lyrics of "Another World" by mankindisobsolete talk about feeling empty and out of control, with the world seeming like it's too much to handle. The first verse talks about putting up walls to protect oneself from being blown away, which could be interpreted metaphorically as trying to protect oneself from the stresses and challenges of the world. The repeated line "Fill this empty vessel before it ends too late" seems to express a desire for something to fill the emptiness and make things feel okay before it's too late. The second verse includes the line "Matrimony with a gun", which is a powerful metaphor for the marriage of danger and risk. The line "Tales of hope seem like a dream / Sugar for another day" also touches on the idea that hope and optimism can be scarce and fleeting.
Overall, the song seems to be an expression of feeling overwhelmed and searching for some sort of fulfillment or meaning. The repeated call to "double check it" could be interpreted as a reminder to slow down and make sure we're on the right path before it's too late. The final line, "Another world waits for its prey today", adds to the sense of unease and unpredictability felt throughout the song.
