Just Like You Are
Celestial Reflections: Unveiling the Enigma of 'Just Like You Are'
Lyrics
I try to rocket but it would not fly
I attempted to launch, but my efforts were unsuccessful.
Sorry Houston but I built it on a lie
Apology to Houston for constructing something based on falsehood.
There is gravity between us but I'm getting pulled down
Despite the gravitational pull between us, I'm being dragged down.
I really wish you would just come back to the ground
Expressing a desire for the person to return to reality.
You are high on your silver chair
Addressing someone elevated, possibly metaphorically on a pedestal.
I once knew who you were
Previously familiar with the person's true self.
Now I see you from afar
Current perception of the person from a distance.
You, you are just another
Labelling the person as just one among many.
Another star
Considering the person as another distant celestial body.
Oh I'm sorry Penelope, my boats off track
Apologizing to Penelope for deviating from the intended path.
But unlike Odysseus I won't get back
Unlike Odysseus, not expecting a return to the initial state.
I have my memories, you have the same face
Shared memories, but the person has changed over time.
But that girl before is another place
Referring to a past relationship as a different era.
I was different and you were too
Both the speaker and the person have evolved.
Our past is a window that we can look through
The past serves as a window to revisit shared experiences.
I know there's others here
Acknowledging the presence of others and the impact of the person.
Your lasting effect on me is what I fear
Expressing concern about the lasting influence of the person.
Now I don't know who you are
Uncertainty about the current identity of the person.
You are just another star
Reiterating the person's status as a distant celestial entity.
Unreachable and beautiful
Describing the person as both unattainable and beautiful.
I see them every night
Observing other distant and unreachable entities every night.
They're so far away
Highlighting the vast distance separating the speaker and the person.
Just like you are
Drawing a parallel between the person and other distant phenomena.
You're another star
Reiterating the person's classification as another distant celestial body.
Oh
Expression of emotion or realization.
Another star
Repetition of the person's celestial characterization.
Oh
Reiteration of the celestial status, possibly emphasizing the separation.
