Everything in the World
Yearning for Eternity: Embracing Love in an Empty World
Lyrics
How could I love this place you've made
Expressing a sense of dissatisfaction or discomfort with the environment created by someone else.
Feel so empty I'm laying on my back
Feeling emotionally empty, possibly lying down in despair.
Far beneath I'm having trouble seeing
Struggling to perceive what lies beneath, suggesting confusion or difficulty in understanding the situation.
What's left now
Reflecting on what remains or what has survived in the given circumstances.
And I need you more than anything
Expressing a deep emotional need for someone.
Just to see there's nothing in this place
Describing the emptiness or lack of substance in the current environment.
Can't remember how it used to seem without you
Unable to recall how things were before the person being addressed entered the picture.
And I don't like feeling this way again
Expressing discomfort or displeasure with the current emotional state.
And I don't like living this way again
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current way of life.
No I don't need you saying those things to me
Rejecting negative comments or criticisms from the addressed person.
So I want everything in the world
Expressing a desire for everything in the world, possibly as a way to fill an emotional void.
Always knew I could not tell you no
Acknowledging an inability to refuse the addressed person.
Even when it killed a part of me
Highlighting the emotional toll of certain actions, even if they were necessary.
I start to see that anything that's real is forever
Belief that genuine aspects of life are enduring and lasting.
Does it seem so perfect in this light
Questioning the apparent perfection of the situation in a particular light.
Only words I hear to think it's right
Suggesting that only certain words or expressions are perceived as right or meaningful.
As you smile I can almost see it's over
Noting the potential conclusion or ending as implied by a smile.
And I don't like feeling this way again
Expressing a dislike for the recurring emotional state.
And I don't like living this way again
Expressing a dissatisfaction with the ongoing way of life.
No I don't need you saying those things to me
Rejecting negative comments or criticisms from the addressed person (repeated).
So I want everything in the world
Reiterating the desire for everything in the world as a solution or escape.
