World on Fire Lyrics
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I'll...

1TOP RATED
#1 top rated interpretation:It's about how horrible the world is and how selfish privileged people can be. She's saying people need our help and that should be our priority.
-
That she can't handle how greedy society has become. How we bitch about what we don't have, while there are millions out there with absolutely nothing. We should be grateful and thank God daily for the things we have.

People waste a lot of money every year in things that they dont even need when theres a lot of people that would want at least one dollar to have something to buy and eat for their whole family, they are alive but dead at the same time they are like zombies just living until they find a cure to their hunger and sickeness. Thats whay in the song of “world on fire” says “Hearts are worn in these dark ages. You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying.” -

She really has to poop but there's someone in the bathroom, so she has no choice but to go in her pants. "And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in" literally means that she tried to hold the poop in, but then gets the feeling of "fire" when it comes out in her pants. Such visceral despair. I love this song!
