Meteorite
Celestial Ascent: Unveiling the Meteorite's Message
Lyrics
Yeah
Expressing agreement or acknowledgment
Andy Warhol said, "In the future, everybody will be famous"
Referencing Andy Warhol's prediction about fame
No, he said, "Everybody will be world-famous for fifteen minutes"
Clarification of Warhol's statement about fame
For fifteen minutes
Repetition emphasizing the brief duration of fame
For fifteen minutes
-For fifteen minutes
-Gotta get up
Encouragement to get active and start
'Cause you know the world is waiting
Awareness of the competitive nature of the world
Can you keep up?
-Everyone you see is racing
-And you
Self-acknowledgment and belief in future success
You know what you are
-It's true
-You will go far
-'Cause you've got the night
Metaphorical reference to shining brightly in the night sky, attracting attention and being watched
To light up the sky
-Meteorite in front of every eye
-A shooting star
-Your fame is a flame
-And they watch you burn up, turn up
-Turnt up all the way
-Meteorite-ite-ite
Repetitive chorus emphasizing the shining and fame aspect
Meteorite-ite-ite
-Meteorite-ite-ite
-Meteorite-ite-ite (a shooting star)
-Meteorite-ite-ite
-Meteorite-ite-ite
-Meteorite-ite-ite
-Meteorite-ite-ite (a shooting star)
-So here we go
Encouragement to speak up and entertain
We're listening, what are you saying?
-Put on your show, oh-oh, oh
-Try to make it entertaining
-And you
Reiteration of self-awareness and confidence in success
You know what you are
-It's true
-You will go far
-'Cause you've got the night
Similar to earlier lines, metaphorically describing the fame and attention one receives
To light up the sky (sky)
-Meteorite in front of every eye
-A shooting star (a shooting star)
-Your fame is a flame
-And they watch you burn up, turn up
-Turnt up all the way (all the way)
-Meteorite-ite-ite
Repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the theme of fame as a shooting star
Meteorite-ite-ite
-Meteorite-ite-ite

-'Cause you've got the night
Repeated lines highlighting the attention and observation received while shining brightly
To light up the sky
-A meteorite in front of every eye
-A shooting star

-As they watch you burn up, turn up
