The Weight Of The World Lyrics
Each day I say that today won't be like yesterday
But it stays this way
Today and everyday I pray that today will feel a different way
But it stays this way...
The weight of the world has fallen and the rubble is at my feet
The voice of a girl is calling
I can hear but she's buried so deep
All of my truths are broken
They're fragments of love and hate
The words that remain are a token of honesty that came too late
Here in the midst of madness washed up by the tides of war
Try to resist the sadness but the pressure is hard to endure
Yet we begin again still playing our games And everyone's innocent-
Just victims of change
Wearing a mask of freedom and hiding behind a smile
Playing the role of a leader, pretending for just a while
Everything seems an illusion echoing around my brain, trapped in a vast seclusion
Where the images fall like rain
And we begin again still playing our games
And everyone's innocent-just victims of change
Living in sin again with no one to blame
And everyone's innocent-just victims of change
Each day I say that today won't be like yesterday
but it stays this way
Today and everyday i pray that today will feel a different way
But it stays this way
Wow no comments on this song? This song is absolutely beautiful. The lyrics are deep so I am not 100% sure, but I will take a stab at a basic interpretation.
I think it is about a girl who built her life on the foundation of someone's promises, and that someone ended up not being true to those promises, which shattered this girl's whole world. She is trapped under the rubble of her broken and devastated life. She can't move on or escape the sadness, and maybe also some financial burdens that she accepted based on the promises/lies of the person that had deceived her.
Each day she prays that her situation will change, that the person will come through on their promises. She has to hide behind a facade that everything is fine when deep down inside she is hurting so bad.
She is sad and angry but there is nobody around her that she can blame. She hopes that the situation won't repeat itself, but nothing changes as people continually lie.
