"Watch out, the world's behind you", man that is such an amazing lyric. Sometimes you're just sitting there and you feel the weight of everything, from all the years that have flown by too fast too make sense of anything, like life is just too incomprehensible. It's as if "the world" is sneaking up on you, like you can't escape time and you will never get a chance to figure it out, what any of it means or who you really are. I think thats how Lou was feeling when he wrote this, like this great big world was gonna get the better of him.
@zepkid5678 posted in 2007, yes, but it's a timeless topic....wtv:)) ok, so coming down from a drug-induced party night (Saturday), one has a restless feeling and one is a bit paranoid, irascible, but it's really nothing at all, don't worry about the thoughts, it's illusion, it'll pass, your friends are there for you, the world's behind you, someone will call, supporting you, they're 'behind you' in that sense... so, i don't agree with the 2007 interpretation and the upvoters.
