Another World Lyrics
Yep, great song indeed. It's about there having to be something better than this. I'm going to seek it, don't look for me when I'm gone because I sure don't want to return.
I know this interpretation will sound a bit off the wall, but oh well.
The song doesn't seem to me to be about suicide, but rather a metaphor for reconciliation. After going through the pain of losing someone, probably not to death but to that person turning their back and withdrawing their love, he constructed an idyllic version in his heart of that person to keep the feeling alive.
After realizing how this was doing nothing for him, getting him nowhere, he took the painful step to move on, and is banishing this idealized rendition of the person from his heart and mind, knowing that the long-lasting suffering he's been going through is finally coming to an end.
But, that's the wonderful part about interpreting songs and poetry like this -- it can mean anything to anyone.
The song makes it sound like it's about suicide at first glance, but upon a more thoughtful listen it does not seem to be that way at all.
It is about someone who is completely shattered and heartbroken and their journey to be better than they were. To piece themselves back together and move on. Unfortunately, this song has been very relatable this year.
"There is no use in dying When still I seem to be undone"
- They already feel dead, no point in dying
"There is no use in trying to find again The love of someone"
- They don't think they can find what they once had and so they no longer search for love as a goal in life
"Where have I gone and come so far Well, I've been headed nowhere I have been walking quite a while along Feeling lonesome"
- They then go on a lonely journey, they aren't sure where, but they just keep trudging forward
"Don't you worry They won't find my body"
- I may have disappeared but you won't find my body because I am not dead, I have just moved on to a different place where you wont find me
"I want you to know I found peace in another world"
- Wherever they are not, they are at peace with the turmoil of the past.
"Don't keep digging I want you to leave back Away from the place Where my ashes are buried"
- Don't chase me or ask me why I left, I have moved on from the emotions and sorrow of who I was and they are now buried and lost. Don't try to dig it back up
"I still can hear you breathing As if you'd never gone away I still can feel your touch Your tenderness As if you were still there"
- Despite moving on from the sorrow, the love for you still remains
"There is no sense in crying Only liquid running from my eyes And all the feelings I restrain Are the remainders that survived"
- There isn't a point in crying, as it's just water, the true sadness is mostly gone, and the only sad emotions that remain are the ones of having gone through the struggle.
What an amazing song... I seriously can't get enough of it. By far my favorite 'Beborn' song out there. Nothing matches the feeling you get when the thumping chorus kicks in time after time - simply perfect!
I agree with you, Jenovasson. There are extremely powerful undertones to this song, and the message is unmistakable.
This song is sweet, seems to be about an afterlife (that might or might not exist according to the song), though Then the first few lines of the song don't make sense... Meh maybe he just wrote it that way cause it sounded cool
It's about commiting suicide, then not wanting those you left behind to miss you.
i used to think this song was about someone being killed, and the family looking for them. suicide makes far more sense though.
It seems this song is about suicide, however something doesn't add up. His ashes are buried in a location where people won't find them. Either he killed, cremated and buried himself, or the person who is worried about them finding him had a hand in it, which makes a lot more sense.
This song is about leaving a loved one for a new one, as intended it sounds as a song about suicide
