You Held the World in Your Arms Tonight - IdleWild

I Don't Know if this is in the right key. I Didnt think the other version of this was in the
right key, so i've put it one fret lower.
Please comment and rate.

| I agree with Electricveil pretty much. I think the song is about realising that your youth has past you by. When youre at school, it is the same thing for years, day after day is the same, and you feel safe, secure. "You held the world in your arms tonight" I think that is just saying you feel like the world is yours when you are young, and that it feels like anything in the world is possible. And now the speaker realising his youth is drifting away.... | |

| The Remote Part baby. This is one of the worst on the album. I've gotten fed up of it. And as for the old stuff being better they were just another group of "urchin-faced punkers" nothing special. They were "convenient and colourful, but no work of art." This album is a work of art. Its genious. And people saying the older stuff is better is an insult to the band pls. | |

| Excellent song...Just recently heard some of their last album, and if this single says anything, the new album in the summer should be another step forward. Good job, boys... | |

| i think this song is about your life getting stuck in a rut, and how easy it is to just let time go by, to take the safe options in life and not change anything but that you shouldn't get stuck in this trap because we have so much potential... | |

| For me this song is perfect for the time I broke up with my girlfriend, we are back together though. The first verse is going on about everything seems different and has changed in just the one day that we broke up. The chorus is just saying that you have lost something so dear to you and that for a period, when you hugged, you held the world in your arms. My girlfriend is my world and when I do hug her I hold the world in arms. The second verse is about the fact that no matter what you do you can’t get over that special someone. No matter how hard you try it is impossible. That is what the song means to me and everytime I hear I think about when we did break up. | |
