I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me

So many roads that I've taken, when nobody thought I could make it
And even though I had to go it alone, I still survived
When you live in the darkness there's always confusion
Sometimes your mind will provide the illusion
And your life can change in the blink of an eye, yeah

I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me

I opened a box full of secrets where the strongest of thoughts couldn't keep them
And even though I was the last to know, they were livin' inside
When you see through the darkness and find the solution
How quickly your eyes will remove the illusion
You know our life is gonna change in the blink of an eye, yeah

I look to the sky but there's someobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me yeah, yeah

Someone's got to show you goin' that way yeah, yeah
There was nothing standing in my way yeah, yeah

I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
A hero was born from a soul that's forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me

Shudder to Think
This song is timeless, and nearly 20 years after its creation, still possesses the mystique it did the first time i heard it ~1994. To me, at first blush, all those years ago, it had some kind of homo-erotic allure. The line "so that the others may do" tells of something which must be done for others to follow suit. It felt like like some kind of roxy-glam-pop invitation to sexual liberation. Upon further introspection I think the song may not have an intrinsic meaning, but simply represents a sort of "holding open the door" for people who otherwise might be affronted by this song/band's unusual style. I know, as a sort of armchair rock-historian, that there have been few bands so daring and so true to the sound that wanted to emerge from within, whether the creator wanted it or not. This band handled it with elegance and grace seldom, if ever, seen.

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
