Andromeda
Weyes Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Andromeda's a big, wide open galaxy
Nothing in it for me 'cept my heart that's lazy
Running from my own life now
I'm really turning some time
Looking up to the sky for something I may never find

Stop calling
It's time to let me be
If you think you can save me
I dare you to try

Ooh, ahh

Lift the heart from the depths it's fallen to
We all want something new
But can't seem to follow through
Something's better than nothing
Or so that I thought
Now I know it's just one dream
All these others gonna tear me apart

Love is calling
It's time to let it through
Find a love that will make you
I dare you to try

Ooh, ahh

Crazy guy
I think this is deep
Think it's meant to be
More than anything I can think of
I'm ready to try

Treat me right
I'm still a good man's daughter
Let me in if I break
And be quiet if I shatter
Getting tired of looking
You know that I hate the game
Don't wanna waste any more time
You know I been holding out

Love is calling
It's time to give to you
Something you can hold onto
I dare you to try

Overall Meaning

The song "Andromeda" by Weyes Blood seems to speak to the fear of being lost in a vast and open universe with no greater purpose or meaning. The first line, "Andromeda's a big, wide open galaxy," sets the stage for a feeling of emptiness and detachment. The singer feels that there is "nothing in it" for her, except for her own lazy heart. This suggests a lack of ambition or desire to explore, perhaps due to a feeling of being disillusioned with life. The next line, "running from my own life now," reinforces this sense of aimlessness and avoidance, as the singer seems to be trying to escape from herself.


The chorus, with its refrain of "Stop calling / it's time to let me be," could be interpreted as a plea to be left alone, to be allowed to avoid the challenges and responsibilities of life. However, the second half of the chorus, "if you think you can save me / I dare you to try," suggests that the singer may secretly want to be saved, or at least to be presented with a reason to care about something. The next verse seems to explore the tension between wanting something more in life and feeling unable to achieve it. The lines "we all want something new / but can't seem to follow through" express a sense of frustration and disappointment with oneself for not being able to change one's circumstances.


Finally, the song ends with a hopeful note, as the singer declares her readiness to try to find meaning and connection in life. The lines "treat me right / I'm still a good man's daughter / let me in if I break / and be quiet if I shatter" suggest a desire for love and acceptance, but also a fear of vulnerability and rejection. Overall, the song seems to be grappling with the universal human struggle to find purpose and meaning in a vast and sometimes overwhelming world.
