ROCKET SONG
Love's Fiery Ascent: Turin Brakes' Rocket Journey
Lyrics
A happy day has come our way
A positive and joyful occasion has arrived
We're on a roll and alcohol
We are experiencing success and enjoying alcoholic drinks
Saying that save yourself
Encouraging someone to prioritize self-preservation
I'll be back for your health
Commitment to return for the well-being of the other person
Still you're alive and I'm alive
Both individuals are alive despite past challenges
Let's put the past to one side
Suggesting to put past issues aside for a fresh start
And start again a brand new friend
Expressing a desire to form a new friendship
Before this old skyscraper crumbles down
Metaphorically referencing a crumbling skyscraper as a symbol of challenges
This love is a rocket
Describing love as a powerful force like a rocket
Bound for the stars
Love is depicted as a journey bound for the stars
This love is a firework
Love is compared to a firework stuck between obstacles
Stuck between the bars
Highlighting the challenges and constraints in love
I'll be back, count on that
Promising a return after a victorious moment
After one last victory lap
After celebrating, the speaker plans to leave
I turn to run but then I fall
An attempt to run, but ego and alcohol lead to a fall
Ego trips on alcohol
Ego is negatively influenced by alcohol
You're a bruise upon the brain
Describing someone as a painful memory or experience
I lay my cards down on the grain
Revealing one's intentions or feelings honestly
Slowly bursting into flame
Describing a gradual emotional intensity
Then you leave me smoking in the rain
Being left emotionally affected in a difficult situation
Love is a rocket
Reiteration of love as a powerful force like a rocket
Bound for the stars
Love's journey depicted as bound for the stars
This love is a firework
Love compared to a firework constrained between obstacles
Stuck between the bars
Highlighting the challenges and constraints in love
This love is a rocket
Reiteration of love as a powerful force like a rocket
Bound for the stars
Love's journey depicted as bound for the stars
This love is a firework
Love compared to a firework constrained between obstacles
Between the bars
Highlighting the challenges and constraints in love
This love could just smolder
Suggesting love could either fade slowly or shine brightly
Or shower in sparks
Describing the potential for love to be intense and spectacular
This love's growing older
Acknowledging the enduring nature of love despite time passing
Still, here we are
Reflecting on the persistence of love despite challenges
