The World Lyrics

You are here alone again
In your sweet insanity
All too calm, you hide yourself from reality
Do you call it solitude? Do you call it liberty?
When all the world turns away to leave you lonely

The fields are filled with desires
All voices crying for freedom
But all in vain they will fade away
There's only you to answer you, forever

In blinded mind you are singing
A glorious hallelujah
The distant flutter of angels
They're all too far, too far to reach for you

I am here alone again
In my sweet serenity
Hoping you will ever find me in any place
I will call it solitude when all my songs fade in vain
In my voice, far away to eternity

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Great, great song, full of emotion. I'm guessing it's about two lonely people longing for each other but not being able to meet. It's part of the soundtrack to .hack//SIGN, and, in my opinion, one of the best songs there.

Could be about Tsukasa being alone in part. "you hide yourself from reality", Tsukasa stated about returning to "that ludicrous world" in the .hack//SIGN series...

I know this is ridiculous but I always thought it described the kind of people who played The World. It's been a while since I've seen the anime, but a lot of them were running away from social problems or rejections. They entered The World to have these safe connections but it was always fake, and they were always alone in their own thoughts. And yes Tsukasa of course, the brooding protagonist forced into a huge empty world and refusing to accept people as they came to him.

I feel this song really manages to capture the supreme loneliness of social discontinuity and all its effects.
