NASA Is On Your Side
Everything Everything Lyrics

I awake in the future,
The singer is imagining waking up in the future.

I had turned to stone with fear,
The singer felt paralyzed by fear.

Laid on petrified trees
The singer was resting on trees that had turned to stone.

In a high school massacre I'm fossilized and clear,
The artist is imagining being killed in a school shooting and fossilized as a result.

The teenage terrorists freeze
The shooters stop in their tracks.

We began dismantling the stadia and schools,
People started taking apart stadiums and schools.

Singing save our simian souls!
People are chanting a phrase to protect themselves.

Polished up warm bullets hanging static in the air,
Bullets were reflecting light and hovering.

Droplets glittering home
The raindrop-like bullets twinkled and returned home.

NASA knows, how the pheromones, cascade!
NASA understands the science behind how pheromones spread.

Down the walls, you can't help the way you feel
You can't control your emotional response to the pheromones.

You're the crudest oil, let your vision boil,
Embrace your raw, primal self and let your imagination run wild.

Yeah they're gonna dig a coal-face! out of you,
You're going to be mined for your resources.

Isambard I'm all steel!
The singer compares himself to a famous engineer known for his steel creations.

Chasing homeless cheerleaders,
People are following cheerleaders who have lost their homes.

Through the sewers lit by burning polythene bags
They are traveling through the sewer system, which is illuminated by burning plastic bags.

Pushing flame scorched limos to the oil rig tonight,
They are moving severely damaged limousines towards an oil rig.

For the promenade dance
This transportation is to be used for a formal event.

Fill your locker with an arsenal,
The singer advises someone to store weapons in their locker.

Hieroglyphic every particle,
Record every detail.

Mother all about the coal
Learn everything there is to know about coal.

And the lava and the gas that we are,
We are made up of molten rock and gaseous materials.

Lovers on the landfill,
The singer is romantically involved with someone on a landfill.

Digging me up to fuel rockets and risk
The landfill will be dug up for fuel, which is a dangerous job.

Look across now honey the horizon,
The singer points out the view to their significant other.

I can see a shuttle birth,
The singer sees a spacecraft launching.

Is it a boy? Or a girl? Or a gun?
The singer is questioning the true nature of the spacecraft.

I know it's ludicrous to be lost,
The artist is aware it's ridiculous to feel lost.

There's never been a time like this
This is an unprecedented moment.

Everyone, is gonna end, up there,
Everyone will eventually end up in space.

You're overcome,
You feel overwhelmed.

But NASA is on your side
NASA is there to support you.

It's happening, the sky is shattering,
Something incredible and cataclysmic is occurring.

And they're gonna make a Death Star,
Someone is building a weapon that resembles the fictional Death Star.

Out of you, but NASA is on your side
Your resources may be used to build this weapon, but NASA is still there for you.

There were children climbing over fridges
Kids are jumping around refrigerators.

In a rush to see the death of the sun
They're trying to catch a glimpse of an astronomical phenomenon.

And we laughed all night when they said
People found humor in this situation.

"Treasure in the sky" and we had nothing but fun
Despite there being no treasure, they still enjoyed themselves.
