Life on Mars
Yearning for the Cosmos: Nerf Herder's Martian Dreams
Lyrics
Is there life on Mars girl
Expressing curiosity about the possibility of extraterrestrial life on Mars.
If there is I want to go there
Desire to visit Mars if life exists there.
Just like Elton John, the Rocket man
Referencing Elton John, the Rocket Man, possibly alluding to space exploration and adventure.
He sure bought some fucked up clothes there
Commenting on Elton John's unconventional fashion choices during his visit to Mars.
And he said that outer space is not the kind of place to raise your kids
Quoting Elton John's view that outer space is not suitable for raising children.
But after my life so far here on Earth I sure wish my parents did
Expressing a wish that the speaker's parents had chosen to raise them in outer space.
I look up to the sky and I pray to the heavens
Looking up to the sky and praying for someone to take the speaker away.
Won't someone come and take me away
Reiterating the desire for someone to come and take the speaker away.
Someone come and take me away
-To the stars, to the moon
Expressing the urgency of wanting to go to the stars or the moon soon.
Just make it soon, oh yeah
-The aliens landed at Roswell
Referencing the Roswell incident and the idea that the government hides encounters with aliens.
And the government hid them so no one could see
-It happens every week on the X-Files
-So why can't it happen to me
-So yes I might miss a couple friends
Acceptance of leaving behind friends and mundane activities for the chance to explore space.
And summer barbecues on the weekends
-Another 40,000 coming every day
-So take me away I've got nothing to lose
-Nike shoes, black jumpsuits
Describing typical attire associated with extraterrestrial encounters.
Shaven heads and purple blankets
-Someone come and take me away
Repeating the plea for someone to come and take the speaker away to the stars or the moon.
Someone come and take me away
-To the stars, to the moon
-Just make it soon, right now
-Beam me up
Using playful language to express a willingness to be involved in extraterrestrial activities.
Stray me down
-Probe my brain
-Cure my boredom
-Someone come and take me away
Repeating the desire to be taken away to the stars or the moon soon.
Somehow come and take me away
-To the stars, to the moon
-Just make it soon
-Someone come and take me away
Final plea for someone to come and take the speaker away.
Someone come and take me away
