Cover art for Utopia lyrics by Within Temptation

This song, to me, is about how painful it is to finally wake up and see the injustice, wars, corruption, greed, and hatred that's in the world. People who were formerly in a trance state, thinking the world was a "Utopia" (hence the name of the song) and that problems would solve themselves. It hurts to wake up to see that life is more than themselves. Life is about all of us; as a race; as a species, and we have the duty to protect this planet and ourselves.

This song is about waking up to what's really going on, and how hard it is to realize how big of fools we've been.
