Der Song handelt von der inneren Zerrissenheit zwischen dem Wunsch nach Erfolg und der Angst vor den Konsequenzen.
Während die Hauptfigur davon träumt, ganz oben anzukommen, stellt sie sich gleichzeitig die Frage, ob dieser Erfolg am Ende einsam, überfordernd oder sogar bedeutungslos sein könnte.
Es geht um Zweifel, Druck und die Unsicherheit, ob das, was man anstrebt, einen wirklich erfüllt.

>> Verse 1
One day I'ma stand on top of the world
And I'll be so high
No parachute
If you got a better plan
Let me know
But I can't think of anything else to do
>> Pre-Chorus
No one around
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to see
So I close my eyes
>> Chorus
What if it's lonely at the top?
What if I go and then I drop?
What if I'm there
Then I'm not?
And what if the lights are too hot?
What if the silence is all I've got?
What if it's lonely at the top?
>> Verse 2
Every day
I try and be a good man
And I do my best
No one cares if it's true
If you got a better plan
Let me know
But I can't think of anything else to do
>> Pre-Chorus
No one around
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to see
So I close my eyes
>> Chorus
What if it's lonely at the top?
What if I go and then I drop?
What if I'm there
Then I'm not?
And what if the lights are too hot?
What if the silence is all I've got?
What if it's lonely at the top?
What if it's lonely at the top?
So I close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
So I close my eyes
Close my eyes
One day I'ma stand on top of the world
And I'll be so high
No parachute
If you got a better plan
Let me know
But I can't think of anything else to do
>> Pre-Chorus
No one around
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to see
So I close my eyes
>> Chorus
What if it's lonely at the top?
What if I go and then I drop?
What if I'm there
Then I'm not?
And what if the lights are too hot?
What if the silence is all I've got?
What if it's lonely at the top?

And what if the lights are too hot?
What if the silence is all I've got?
What if it's lonely at the top?
What if it's lonely at the top?
So I close my eyes
Close my eyes
Close my eyes
So I close my eyes
Close my eyes
