New Planet
Voyage of Regret: Unraveling Smash Mouth's New Planet
Lyrics
We need a new planet
We are in need of a new start or a fresh beginning.
You were a rock but I took you for granite
I misunderstood your value; you were solid and reliable, but I took you for granted.
Ain't that a shame, ain't it a sin?
Expressing regret or disappointment; questioning the fairness of the situation.
We added too much baggage when our ship came in
We brought too many problems or burdens when our opportunities arrived.
Like a laser beam
Comparing something to a focused and intense energy, possibly implying scrutiny.
You're never what I'm seeing
What is apparent or visible is not always the reality; there's more than meets the eye.
I ought to better my best behavior
Expressing a desire to improve one's conduct or actions.
I can't deny I lit the fire
Admitting responsibility for starting a conflict or trouble.
But the twist of fate bridge was gonna burn anyway
Recognizing that a critical situation was inevitable, regardless of one's actions.
Without you, it's no fun
Life is less enjoyable or fulfilling without the mentioned person.
It's like a total eclipse of the sun
Highlighting the emotional darkness and emptiness without the person, using a metaphor.
Without you it's no wonder
Life loses its marvel or excitement without the person.
It's like a total eclipse of the sun
Reiterating the idea that life becomes dull or bleak without the mentioned person.
It's just that time of the season
Referring to a particular period or phase in life.
I'm getting tongue-tied facing my demons
Experiencing difficulty expressing oneself when confronting internal struggles.
But I'm free 'cause I want you to be
Expressing a sense of liberation or freedom because the other person is now free.
But the twist of fate bridge was gonna burn anyway
Reiterating the inevitability of a problematic situation, regardless of actions taken.
We need a new planet
Repeating the desire for a fresh start or new beginning.
You were a peach but I told you to can it
You were valuable, but I advised you to stop; possibly regretting a hasty decision.
You weren't the only pig in the pen
Emphasizing that there were other options or opportunities; you weren't the only one.
We added too much baggage when our ship came in
Similar to line 4, acknowledging that too many problems came with the arrival of opportunities.
