On Top of the World
On Top of the World: Unveiling the Struggle for Meaning
Lyrics
Hi there, yeah, I'm talking to you
Expression of direct communication with the listener.
I got something to say - got so much on my mind
Feeling overwhelmed with thoughts and a need to express them.
It´s killing me!
Intense emotional distress or burden.
Can´t sleep at night, can´t dream no more
Difficulty sleeping and experiencing a loss of dreams.
got nowhere to go - it hurts, I loose my mind
Feeling lost, with no direction, causing mental anguish.
And it´s killing me!
Reiteration of emotional pain and its impact.
The map for the road and the key to the lock,
The need for guidance and a solution to a problem.
where lost somewhere, we need to go back right now!
The realization of being lost and the urgency to return.
Cause it´s killing us.
Recognition that the current situation is harmful.
In search for the greatness and meaning of life
Quest for significance and understanding in life.
we lost our way, we need to look back right now!
Acknowledgment of losing one's path and the need for reflection.
Cause it´s killing us
Reiteration of the harmful impact of the current state.
I can quiz your ass off - I´m second to none
Confidence and competence, possibly in a competitive context.
In top of the food chain - it´s evolutionary fun
Enjoyment of being at the top of a hierarchy, with an evolutionary perspective.
And killing me!
Acknowledgment of personal struggles despite success.
I got money, I can choose from whatever I need
Financial abundance and the ability to choose freely.
Don´t need to ask, from where it came - or why
Indifference or detachment towards the source of wealth.
And it´s killing me!
Recognition of the negative impact of affluence.
The map for the road and the key to the lock,
Reiteration of the need for guidance and a solution.
where lost somewhere, we need to go back right now!
Realization of being lost and the urgency to return, echoed.
Cause it´s killing us.
Acknowledgment of the harmful nature of the current situation.
In search for the greatness and meaning of life
Continued search for meaning and greatness in life.
we lost our way, we need to look back right now!
Admission of losing the way and the necessity to reflect.
Cause it´s killing us
Reiteration of the harmful impact of the current state.
The map for the road and the key to the lock,
Repetition of the need for guidance and a solution.
where lost somewhere, we need to go back right now!
Reiteration of being lost and the urgency to return.
Cause it´s killing us.
Acknowledgment of the harmful nature of the current situation.
A culture behaving, without any sense
Critique of a culture lacking rationality or meaning.
Divide and conquer - we´re standing on the top of the world -
Concept of division and conquest, coupled with a sense of superiority.
And we´re killing us .....
Reiteration of the harm being done at the peak of success.
It´s killing us
Final emphasis on the destructive impact of the current state.
