Whole New World / God is Dead Lyrics
Just because we’re abandoned
Doesn’t mean we’re alone
Falling down when we’re empty
Cause I know, yes I know
Nothing here really matters
Nothing helps when you’re lost
Break me down to an atom
Cause I know, yes I know
It’s a whole new different world
What you’ve got to say
Save yourself
There’s no salvation
Home is found where the heart is
Space is found in our homes
Shots ring out across the city
Cause I know, yes I know
So what you’ve got to say
It’s a whole new different world
What you’ve got
Doesn’t mean we’re alone
Falling down when we’re empty
Cause I know, yes I know
Nothing helps when you’re lost
Break me down to an atom
Cause I know, yes I know
What you’ve got to say
Save yourself
There’s no salvation
Space is found in our homes
Shots ring out across the city
Cause I know, yes I know
It’s a whole new different world
What you’ve got
I find it odd that no one has commented about this song. "Home is found where the heart is Space is found in our homes" I love that part, simple yet it's kinda clever.
The "God is Dead" part of this song has always intrigued me because of its darkness and its slow, quiet terror. Some might say that it's meant to express how horrible the world would be without God, but i don't think that's why the band called it "God is Dead." It may have to do with the next part of the song, "Whole New World" which to me is somewhat anti-God. The line that reads "Save yourself there's no salvation" is particularly anti-God, in my opinion, because it's saying "Live for your own good and don't expect any miracles or any heaven."
