Tears for Fears is a British duo formed in the early 1980s, known for blending pop, new wave, and deep emotional themes. Members Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith didn’t just make hits — through their music, they explored ideas of power, control, emotion, and the human condition.
Their 1985 hit “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” quickly became an anthem of its era — a bittersweet reflection on ambition, freedom, and the cost of power in a changing world.
At first, it may sound like a catchy pop song, but its lyrics reveal something deeper: a message about humanity’s desire to dominate, and the paradox that true happiness isn’t found in control — but in understanding and acceptance.
🎵 “Turn your back on mother nature... Everybody wants to rule the world.”
