Everybody Wants to Rule the World Welcome, to your life, There's no turning back, Even while, we all sleep! We must always, find you, Acting on your best behavior, Turn your back on mother nature, Everybody wants to rule the world. It's my own design, It's my own remorse, Help me, really decide, Help me make the most, Of, freedom and pleasure! Nothing, ever, lasts forever! Everybody wants to rule the world. There's a room where the light won't find you, Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down, When they do I'll be right behind you. So glad we've almost made it, So sad they had to fade it, Everybody wants to rule the world. (Tears For Fears)
This is another great example of a song I did almost nothing to, but the metaphors are incredibly vague and perfect for expressing the sentiment as humbly and elegantly as possible. Note, this is perfect example of Oneness poetry contextual vagueness. From the very first line whether the narrator is talking to themselves or someone else, being literal or figurative, sarcastic or remorseful is something the reader must interpret for themselves. Using that kind of incredible vagueness, the poem can express yin-yang push-pull dynamics as what's missing from this picture. The timing and rhythm of the song can convey time as either nonexistent, suspended in the moment, or as expressing nature as a caricature of a two year old Goldilocks, lending it to both humorous and elegant interpretations.
