《World on a String》是加拿大音樂人Neil Young創作並演唱的搖滾歌曲，最初錄製於1973年作品集，正式發行版本收錄於1993年專輯《Unplugged》。該曲創作背景與其好友吸毒身亡事件相關，歌詞通過"懸於細線的世界"等意象描繪生存困境，在謊言與真相的二元對立中探索救贖主題。現存多個現場版本包括1973年Santa Monica Flyers樂隊巡演實錄、1993年不插電版本及2016年重製版等。
歌曲以重複段落的搖滾編曲構建情感張力，副歌"你將我喚醒"形成敘事核心，末段"善與惡""恨與愛"的對比暗含人性觀察。現場版本通過即興演奏展現粗糲風格，不插電版本則突出原聲吉他與口琴的敘事性。

歌曲歌詞
Our Lady Peace - World on a String
★ VAN製作
I see the world on a string
It's hanging from a wire
It gets tangled up and spun around
Like the truth inside a liar
Sometimes you wanna get high
And sometimes you run and hide
Cause it eats you up and spits you out
It swallows you alive
When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
You'll bring me back to life
You'll bring me back to life
I see the world on a beach
It's sinking in the sand
Oh it tries to suck you down with it
You better get out while you can
Sometimes you wanna scream out
And sometimes you just can't
Cause your lips
Feel like they're glued together
And no one gives a damn
When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
You'll bring me back to life
You'll bring me back to life
This is the world on a string
There's no songs left to sing
Just sing
Sing
I see the good
i see the bad
The revolution
I see the happy
I see the sad
The absolution
I see hate
And I see love
When the world's on a string
When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (no feeling)
You'll bring me back to life
When I'm down on my knees
And it hurts to believe (I'm bleeding)
You'll bring me back to life
When there's no songs to sing
And no flowers to bring (No feeling)
And you'll bring me back to life
And you'll bring me back to life
And you'll bring me back to life
