Buffaloe Posted August 20, 2005 Report Share Posted August 20, 2005 (edited) I was wondering if anyone knew what the song Top of the World means? Thanks! Edited September 12, 2005 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 I know only two songs called "Top of the World" one is by the Dixie Chicks and one is by the Carpenters. What band sings the version you're talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted August 21, 2005 Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Top of the World All American rejects Is there anybody out there? That wakes up with a bitter taste? It´s a king that we put up there And he's a short way to fall from grace It's slowly filling upward. You can stand but you have no ground. I hear it from the lost word. They say its time that you lost your crown. Don´t be so greedy. A dollar's a penny to you When hearts are beating Say what you want 'em to do. Wasting away... I see you. When the top of the world falls on you Finally a day, don´t wanna be you. When the top of the world falls on you Is there anybody out there? That can see what a man can change? It´s better that you don´t care Because he knows that he's in his state I feel the paranoia. When there´s a time, put you in your place In the eyes of those who watch you Well they can wait 'til they hit your face Don´t be so greedy. A dollar's a penny to you When hearts are beating Say what you want 'em to do. Wasting away... I see you. When the top of the world falls on you Finally a day, don´t wanna be you. When the top of the world falls on you Paint yourself a picture When you waste another picture And you will, and you will, and you will Paint yourself a picture And then you break another picture And you will, and you will, and you will And you will, Yeah you will, and you will Don´t be so greedy A dollar´s a penny to you When hearts stop beating Say what you what 'em to do Wasting away... I see you When the top of the world falls on you Finding a day, don´t wanna be you When the top of the world falls on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloe Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I was just wondering if anyone knew exactly who or what they were talking about in the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioslave Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 It sounds to me like a song about Bush and 9/11 and how the President seems to be a king. I think the writer feels that we've become paranoid and greedy - or at least our leaders have - and the rest of the world is eager for our fall. I'm not sure if he thinks the top of the world has already fallen or if it's something to come but that's what I get out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
