Defying Gravity: A Poetic Journey Through Space and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
We're like birds, but swimming
We, as humans, are compared to birds, but our environment is the aquatic realm.
Our wings feel smooth against the tide
Despite being in water, our movements are graceful and effortless, akin to flying birds.
Perhaps a fish, but flying
The analogy extends to being fish-like creatures capable of flying through the air.
In a flash of ocean air
A sudden and vivid experience of moving through the atmosphere.
The Earth a spacecraft made by someone else
Earth is likened to a spacecraft created by an external force, not necessarily a concern.
Doesn't matter to me
Indifference towards the origin of Earth; a desire to explore it remains.
I wanna fly it nevertheless
Expressed determination to explore and navigate Earth, defying the pull of gravity.
Defying gravity
An affirmation of defying the laws of physics and limitations.
Ooh
Non-verbal expressions, possibly indicating a sense of wonder or awe.
Ooh
-I never really knew how much you meant to me
Realization of the significance of someone, acknowledging a shift in perception.
I only ever thought of who I want you to be
-We're just like kids, but older
Comparison of adulthood to childhood with roles changing unexpectedly.
Our roles switched fast without a sign
Abrupt role reversal without warning or clear indicators.
Ain't nothing to be crying over
Emphasis on the insignificance of troubles, suggesting resilience.
So are you with me tonight?
An invitation to join in a shared experience or moment.
We're on this spacecraft made by someone else
Reiteration of Earth as a spacecraft, maintaining the theme of external creation.
Doesn't matter to me
Reaffirmation of indifference towards Earth's origin; focus on the desire to explore.
Ooh
Expressive interjections, possibly indicating emotional intensity or urgency.
Yeah
-I never really knew how much you meant to me
Continued reflection on the newfound significance of someone.
I only ever thought of who I want you to be
-The difference divided by reality
Acknowledgment of the contrast between expectations and reality.
I don't believe in miracles
Denial of belief in miracles, possibly indicating a skeptical outlook.
You don't believe in me
Reciprocal skepticism, with a lack of belief from the other person.
I never really knew how much you meant to me
Reflection on the evolving understanding of the person's importance.
I only ever thought of who I want you to be
-These days have got me thinking
Contemplation of uncertainties and the absence of guarantees in life.
That there's no guarantee
The desire for a specific identity contradicts the unpredictable nature of reality.
What I want you to be
-Is no reality
Continued contemplation on the contrast between expectations and reality.
I never really knew how much you meant to me
-I only ever thought of who I want you to be
Reiteration of uncertainties and the absence of guarantees in life.
These days have got me thinking
-That there's no guarantee
Continued contradiction between desired identity and the unpredictable nature of reality.
What I want you to be
-Is no reality
Repetition of the evolving understanding of the person's importance.
I never really knew how much you meant to me
-I only ever thought of
Continuation of a limited perspective, focusing on desired qualities.
Why do all songs have to talk about love?
Rhetorical questions about the pervasive theme of love in songs, expressing curiosity or frustration.
They talk about love
-Yeah, why do all songs have to talk about love?
-They talk about love
-Yeah, why do all songs have to talk about
Continued questioning of the prevalence of love as a song theme.
