Top of the World
Rising Above the Chaos: The Plumedores' 'Top of the World' Story
Lyrics
Up in the unharmed air
Expressing elevation and a sense of untouched atmosphere.
Above the marred earth, beyond repair
Describing a damaged world beyond recovery.
I can breathe and be free where
Feeling liberated and unburdened in a safe space.
No harm may befall and the Sun shines on all
Describing an ideal place where no harm occurs, and positivity prevails.
What we do is the best we can do, and no worse
Stating the commitment to doing the best without causing harm.
But what I manage to do inadvertently is like a curse
Expressing unintended negative consequences, likened to a curse.
With no harm meant, the bubble’s burst
Acknowledging the unintentional disruption of a positive state.
Good intent is really the worst
Questioning the efficacy of good intentions.
You don’t want to get close to me
Warning against proximity due to potential negative effects.

You don’t want to get close to me

Down where your dead eyes stare

We’re the last, lost light to be snuffed from the air
Emphasizing the group as the last source of light, facing extinction.
Yeah, we ain’t dead like you
Affirming vitality in contrast to those who are spiritually dead.
There’s time to be saved to repair and make new
Believing in the possibility of renewal and reconstruction.
What we do is the best we can do, and no worse
Restating the commitment to doing the best without causing harm.
But what I manage to do inadvertently is like a curse
Reiterating the theme of unintentional negative consequences.
With no harm meant, the bubble’s burst
Reflecting on the disruption of positive intentions.
Good intent is really the worst
Critiquing the paradox of good intentions leading to undesirable outcomes.
You don’t want to get close to me
Advising against closeness due to potential harm.
With no harm meant, the bubble’s burst
Reiterating the unintended consequences without malicious intent.
