Lyrics for She Don't Want The World as interpreted by KiBa283

She Don't Want The World Lyrics
The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up and never lets it show
She can't take much more of this but she can't let it go
And that's okay, she don't want the world

All the things she says
He's just lying there without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream without a place to hide
And that's okay, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?
It's okay, she don't want the world

Those words she never spoke
All her life, her memories of all the times before
She tried to show him love while he would only ask for more
But it's okay, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she's longing for slowly appear
She's seen them all before but somehow, never quite this clear
But she just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?
It's okay, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again, this time to face the day
She swears this time to make it, as she simply walks away
And it's okay, she don't want the world

omg! it's so sad ans os true song. in the 6th line i thought it's She's just lying there coz if it's He then it changes all the meaning.
And the general meaning is quite clear about the woman realized that love and other things in the world are not as she imagined it before like in the movie or in fairy-tales. The world and people are much more usual, cold and egoistic. She afraids of many things and it's better to sleep. Girl!!! You'll ie soon in that way. Well I like to listen to it. I like to pity myself

In the meaning i agree with lhet
amazing, wonderful, beautiful, awesome,...I just love it :)
After the first two or three times I heard it, it was in my head and I can't get it out!
And I really like the music when he starts singing "This love she feels..."
well, i could listen to it 24 hours a day...


P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I'm german =)

In general, I agree about meaning of this song. But, I don't think it's a mistake in line #6. And i think it explains a lot. She's lying beside her love who doesn't have strong feelings for her as she has for him... She talks, but there's no one to hear her (he don't listen). He uses her only for one thing, and now, she's realized that... (in the morning she's alone again)
Hope this helps. ;)

many women are in situations that dont provide the happiness they need, whether its due to lack of love and support or due to abuse. Change is a scary thing and once you've been in a situation for so long you feel that there is no alternative. Taking that step to move on is like walking into a dark hallway, you dont know where it leads or what you will find, and fear of the unkown is the greatest fear of all

I think this song is a about a woman that really loves a man, and he doesn't feel the same. And it's hard knowing that, but she just can't bare the thought of not having him.
And it's saying that she doesn't want the world, she simply wants to be loved. But, for her, that's no more than a dream.
And at the end -
"A brand new morning shines, she wakes up alone again, this time to face the day
She swears this time to make it, as she simply walks away and it's okay...
She don't want the world"
Is when she finally realizes she deserves better than that.

I think its about a woman in an emotionally abusive relationship... she hides her wounds that he has created... she knows she can't take it.. but she would rather be with him because she doesn't care to live in the world much more than she cares to be with him... he doesn't care about her... even if he see's her cry... her dream... her sleep is her sanctuary... its where she hides from reality... but she doesn't care... because again... she wants to be with him... she doesn't tell him what she feels how she feels about his emotional abuse... she doesn't tell him what she wants to do in life.. she tries her best to please him... all he wants is more... in her sleep.. she sees everything she wanted...and she wants it so bad.. but she'd rather be with him... she wakes up alone... she swears to end it...

that is my interpretation.. from personal experience...

I can't even TRY to determine the meaning of this song to me because I am floored with how beautiful it is. The track + Brad Arnold's voice just brings me to my knees it's so good. I've always loved 3 Doors Down but this song takes my admiration and respect for them to new heights. Consummate musicians.

I feel very strongly that this song is about a girl who was sexually abused by a male figure whom she once trusted and loved possibly her father.

aaaand i think you have some lyrics wrong...

The open wound she hides
She just keeps it bundled up and never lets it show
She can't take much more of this but she can't let it go
And that's okay, she don't want the world

All the things she says
He's just lying there, without someone to hear her cry
She slips off into a dream about* a place to hide
And that's okay, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?
It's okay, she don't want the world

Those words she never spoke
All her life, the* memories of all the times before
She tried to show him love while he would only ask for more
But it's okay, she don't want the world

Softly in her sleep
Pictures of the life she's longing for slowly appear
She's seen them all before but somehow, never quite this clear
But she just smiles, she don't want the world

This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?
It's okay, she don't want the world

A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again, this time to face the day
She swears this time to make it, as she simply walks away
And it's okay, she don't want the world

"He's just lying there, without someone to hear her cry

i think it may be her looking at him in disgust and dreaming about a place to hide away from the abuse. or maybe its while hes abusing her that she goes to her happy place.

"This love she feels
Everything she's ever known or ever thought was real
Seems like it's been thrown away now, how's she gonna live?"
She thought this man loved her and he betrayed her trust, maybe she still loves him because he is her father or dominant male figure in her life and she doesnt know how to go on with her life without him even though she knows that it isnt right.



"All her life, the* memories of all the times before
She tried to show him love while he would only ask for more"
She remembers the good times she had with him and she tried to show him all her love but then the abuse started and she thinks its her fault because she didnt give him enough love.

"Softly in her sleep

Shes dreaming of a life away from the abuse and its starting to make her will stronger and her dream of leaving is slowly coming into reality.

"A brand new morning shines
As she wakes up alone again, this time to face the day
She swears this time to make it, as she simply walks away"
Either this is the moment where she walks away and leaves it behind or this is more into the future and has already left the abusive situation.

.... thats my take on it lol pretty long
