Ignition
Lift off, lift off

Hoy voy a empezar
Hoy es el comienzo del final
El cocodrilo
Astronauta soy en órbita lunar

Y ahora todo es mejor
La lluvia de asteroides ya pasó
No fue para tanto
Y desde aquí

Todo es insignificante
Nada es tan preocupante
Y el espacio es un lugar
Tan vacío sin ti

Lady, lady blue
Sin control, sin dirección
La luz se fue, ¿a dónde voy?
Lady, lady blue
Sin control, sin dirección
La luz se fue, ¿a dónde voy?

No volverás a ver
La mirada triste
Del chico que observaba el infinito
Llamando a la estación
Perdemos combustible
Y la tripulación
Se quiere despedir desde aquí

Dejo esta grabación
A falta de algo mejor
La soledad es un lugar
Tan vacío sin ti

Lady, lady blue
Sin control, sin dirección
La luz se fue, ¿a dónde voy?
Lady, lady blue
Sin control, sin dirección
La luz se fue, ¿a dónde voy?

Desde hoy
No temas nada
No hace falta ya
Todo se fue con el huracán
Nada queda
De las vueltas
Que el tiempo nos dio
Todo se fue con el huracán

Overall Meaning

The first part of the song "Ignition" serves as a countdown to lift off, as the singer - presumably an astronaut - is embarking on a lunar orbit. He reflects on the fact that everything seems better from where he is, even though he does not have his love interest with him. The asteroid shower has passed and things are less worrisome now. The detachment and insignificance of everything from space puts things into perspective for him. The recurring line "Lady, lady blue" refers to his love interest, who is ironically referred to as "blue" despite the overwhelming blackness of space. He feels aimless, without direction or control, and feels lost after losing the light of his life, his lady. He expresses a deep loneliness that can only be mirrored by the vast emptiness of space. In the end, he feels that everything has been taken away by a hurricane, and nothing is left of what they once had.

The song's meaning is melancholic and multi-layered. It speaks of loneliness, separation, and lack of purpose, but at the same time, it has a hopeful undertone of rebirth and redemption. The metaphor of space and the stars is used to convey the vast emptiness and detachment that the singer is feeling in his heart, despite the grandeur of what surrounds him. The love story and the space exploration metaphor blend well and create a somber yet beautiful mood.
