The Weight of the World
Bearing the World's Weight: Reflections on Society's Burden
Lyrics
Can’t move with the weight of the world
Feeling burdened and unable to move due to the world's problems.
Got the weight of the world
Continuing to carry the heavy burden of the world's issues.
Sitting on my shoulders
Experiencing the weight of global problems personally and directly.
Out here at the edge of the world
Being in a location that symbolizes a remote or extreme place.
It’s starting to curl
Observing the world's situation deteriorating.
We’ve upset the big shareholder
Upsetting those who have significant influence or ownership in the world's affairs.
So we watch it burn
Witnessing destruction or chaos without intervening.
Until we’re all finally adjourned
Continuing to observe until everything comes to an end.
Woke up to the state of the world
Becoming aware of the condition or situation of the entire world.
the state of the world
Reiterating the state of the world and its problems.
running downhill from a boulder
Struggling against a massive and overwhelming force.
Don’t need any diamonds or pearls
Expressing a lack of need for material wealth in a critical moment.
At the edge of the world
Being at the precipice of global events, possibly considering staying to witness their conclusion.
Maybe I’ll stay here until it’s over
Contemplating staying until the world's troubles reach their conclusion.
Will we ever learn
Questioning whether humanity will acquire knowledge from its mistakes.
Or waste another turn
Considering the possibility of squandering another opportunity.
Big or small
Encouraging unity regardless of scale in facing an inevitable end.
Let’s get in line for the last rotation
Suggesting everyone should align themselves for the final cycle or event.
One and all
Asserting that no formal request is necessary to participate in this inevitable event.
You know you don’t need an invitation
If it’s true that the bird is the word
Considering a saying or belief but unsure of its validity due to lack of confirmation.
Well, we haven’t heard
Not receiving any information or guidance despite anticipating it.
Not a single word she told us
Experiencing silence or lack of communication from a source expected to provide insight.
So we watch it burn
Repeating the observation of chaos or destruction without intervening.
Until we are adjourned
Continuing to observe until everything reaches its conclusion.
Big or small
Let’s get in line for the last rotation
-One and all
-You know you don’t need an invitation
