Planets
Navigating Life's Cosmic Dance: Samu Del Rio's 'Planets' Meaning
Lyrics
These neon lights are too much for him.
Feeling overwhelmed by the intense and flashy environment represented by neon lights.
He’s gotta run, lock back and grin.
Feeling the need to escape, adopting a carefree attitude, and putting on a false smile.
Pretend to smile, pretend to breathe.
Engaging in a facade, pretending to be happy and maintaining appearances.
Pretend to be living the American dream.
Pretending to live the idealized American dream, possibly suggesting societal expectations.
‘Cause when you run you don’t look back.
Emphasizing the importance of moving forward without dwelling on the past.
You simply track what’s lost of you.
Highlighting the consequence of running – losing a part of oneself along the way.
The lights of others surrounding you.
Noticing the presence of others but being surrounded by the lights of their own pursuits.
These planets, these planets move.
Suggesting the inevitability and constant motion of life, represented metaphorically as planets.
Once you thought my house belonged to you.
Reflecting on a past connection or relationship where a sense of ownership was felt.
You clogged my sink and used my toothpaste too.
Describing mundane and intimate details of shared space, indicating a close relationship.
Nobody told you you could stay.
Asserting that the person was not invited to stay, indicating a boundary or rejection.
Nobody told you you could stay.
Reiterating the lack of permission for the person to remain, emphasizing the point.
And they too lose track of time.
Observing that others also lose their way or sense of time in the journey of life.
Lose track of time, track of you.
Repeating the theme of losing track, emphasizing the impact on both time and individual identity.
These planets, these planets move.
Reinforcing the idea of life's constant movement using the metaphor of planets.
