Owner of the World
From Dominion to Desolation: Unraveling the Tale of a Fallen Titan
Lyrics
He use to own the world
He used to possess or control the world.
He use to be the one
He used to be a significant or influential figure.
Like hundred hungry dogs in heat
Describing a time of intense desire or passion, possibly chaotic.
On cinnabar and rum
Under the influence of mind-altering substances like cinnabar and rum.
Ground and sift and washed it
Refers to a process of refining or preparing a substance.
Dried it in the sun
The substance is exposed to sunlight, possibly indicating transparency or clarity.
But his heart just wouldn't buy it
Despite external efforts, his heart was not convinced, and he felt the need to escape.
And his feet began to run
Escaping, moving away, or running from the situation.
He use to be the Owner of the World
He used to have control and influence over the world.
Now he's just another man
Now he is just an ordinary man, losing his former status or power.
Who use to be the Owner of the World
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the loss of ownership or control.
Down an empty highway
Traveling on a deserted road.
Pass sycamores and oaks
Passing through different types of trees.
Then stop for seven hours
Stopping for an extended period, reflecting on past actions or decisions.
The things he made us do
Regret or reflection on the actions he compelled others to take.
The owner of the world
Reiterating the idea that he used to take more, possibly selfish behavior.
Liked always taking more
Characterizing the owner as consistently desiring more than what was necessary.
Standing on the beach
Depicting a location change, possibly a metaphorical shift.
Or walking out the door
Choosing to leave or exit.
He use to be the Owner of the World
Repeating the idea of his previous ownership of the world.
Now he's just another man
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the loss of former status or power.
Who use to be the Owner of the World
Reiteration of the theme of losing ownership or control over the world.
