TheJesus, actually the first two lines could make sense if we assume that they refer to the Greek myth Atlas, though it might be a slight stretch. Atlas, in said myth, is said to support the entire weight of the world via a pillar on his back--that is, a burden too heavy to bear. (Breaking his legs, would, ironically, free him from his burden, granting him a rest.) If we take this literal "carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders" and apply it metaphorically to the cast of FFVII, it fits nicely.
