Rule My World
Moral High Ground: Unveiling the Deep Meaning in 'Rule My World'
Lyrics
You set yourself above
You place yourself in a superior position
Better off forgiving god
Suggests forgiveness towards a higher power or fate
You claim that you believe in
You profess belief in something
Your kind is gonna fall
Implies the downfall of those with similar beliefs
Your ship is sinking fast
An urgent decline, possibly in personal or collective circumstances
And all your able men are leaving
Your capable associates are abandoning the situation
Only someone
Emphasizes a requirement for a specific type of person
Who's morally
Refers to moral integrity
Superior can possibly
Only someone morally superior can
And honestly deserve
Deserve the privilege to
To rule my world
Have authority over my world
I talk before I think
Admits to speaking impulsively
You shoot before you know
You act without full understanding
Who's in your line of fire
Potentially targeting without knowing the consequences
So somehow we're the same
Despite differences, similarities exist
We're causing people pain
Both contribute to causing pain
But I stand and take the blame
Accepting responsibility for one's actions
You scramble to the night
Rushing towards darkness or uncertainty
Only someone
Reiterates the need for moral superiority
Who's morally
Relating to ethical standards
Superior can possibly
Deserving the right to
And honestly deserve
Have authority over my world
Only someone
Repetition for emphasis
Who's morally
Continued emphasis on moral superiority
Superior can possibly
Continued emphasis on deserving authority
And honestly deserve
Repeating the requirement for moral integrity
To rule my world
Repeated assertion of the desire for someone morally superior to rule the world
To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-To rule my world
-Explain me one more time
Requesting further clarification
When they kill it's a crime
Highlighting the contradiction in societal views on killing
When you kill it is justice
Questioning the perception that some killings are considered just
