Lyrics
Beauty means something different up in space, I've learned
Beauty has a different significance in space, a perspective the singer has gained.
Nothing so trivial as your height or the freckles on your cheeks
Physical traits like height or freckles are considered trivial in the vastness of space.
Go ask the galaxies being born if they care what you look like
The singer suggests that cosmic entities don't care about appearance; a metaphor for the insignificance of human concerns.
I've seen stars end their lives going supernova and I thought
The experience of witnessing stars going supernova puts personal worries into perspective.
In the face of that, my worries seem so small
Comparing personal worries to the grandeur of cosmic events, the singer feels their concerns are small.
And my happiness
The singer previously hid their happiness but has now embraced it.
I'd buried it away
Happiness was concealed or suppressed.
It returned to me
Happiness has returned to the singer.
Now I wear it like a sunny day
The singer now wears happiness openly, likened to a sunny day.
Cloudless
Describing the state of being free from worries as "cloudless."
Money means nothing to the motes of astral dust floating around up here
Material wealth is inconsequential in the vastness of space.
It doesn't matter; I'm gladder now that I'm disconnected
The singer is happier without worldly connections.
And all the fears that for years I always had protected
Overcoming long-held fears that were once protected.
I found a way to let them go
The singer found a way to let go of fears.
All these things that I thought mattered
Things considered important on Earth lost significance in space.
Did not make it when I left Earth
The singer left Earth, leaving behind things that seemed important.
As I lifted up all my fears
Fears lifted off and dissipated in the atmosphere.
Burnt off in the atmosphere to nothing
Fears burnt away, leaving nothing behind.
Now the only thing
Currently, the only thing the singer is experiencing.
That I'm feeling
Expressing a feeling of being free and unburdened.
Is cloudless
The singer emphasizes the cloudless state of mind.
The only thing that I'm feeling
Reiteration of the singer's cloudless state of mind.
The only thing that I'm feeling
-The only thing that I'm feeling
-The only thing that I'm feeling (is cloudless)
-All these things that I thought mattered
Reiteration of things that lost importance when leaving Earth.
They didn't make it when I left Earth
Reiterating the insignificance of those things in the cosmic context.
They didn't make it when I left Earth
Reiterating that those things didn't survive the departure from Earth.
As I lifted up all my fears
Fears lifted off and burned away in the atmosphere.
They burnt up in the atmosphere
The process of fears dissipating is emphasized.
And now I'm cloudless
Concluding that the singer is now in a cloudless state of mind.
Now I'm cloudless
Reaffirming the current cloudless state of the singer.
