Planet Caravan
Pantera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stars shine like eyes, the black night sighs
The moon in silver dreams
Pours down in beams, light of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze in orbit always
While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze, silver starlight
Breaks dawn from night
And so, we pass on by
The crimson eye
Of great God Mars
As we travel the universe
The lyrics of Pantera's song Planet Caravan describe a journey through the vast universe, admiring the beauty of celestial bodies such as stars and the moon. The serenity of the scene is emphasized by the repetition of words such as "sighs" and "dreams." The earth is described as a "purple blaze of sapphire haze," an image that suggests a sense of wonder and amazement. As the journey continues, they pass by Mars, one of the most famous planets in the solar system, referred to as the "crimson eye of great God Mars."
The lyrics of Planet Caravan have been the subject of many interpretations since the song's release in 1994. Some fans and critics have suggested that the song is about the psychedelic experience brought about by drugs, as it creates an almost hypnotic atmosphere that could easily be associated with a trippy state of mind. Others have interpreted the song as a tribute to the beauty and wonder of the universe, as it encourages the listener to contemplate the vastness of space and the mysteries it holds.

We sail through endless skies
We traverse the boundless stretch of sky
Stars shine like eyes, the black night sighs
Dazzling stars glitter like celestial orbs and the dark night exudes a sigh of serenity
The moon in silver dreams
The moon basks in silver, amorous dreams
Pours down in beams, light of the night
Moonlight trickles down in rays, enlightening the darkness of the night
The earth, a purple blaze
The planet Earth is ablaze in a purple gleam
Of sapphire haze in orbit always
Enveloped in a sapphire mist, the Earth orbits ceaselessly
While down below the trees
Beneath us, amongst the trees
Bathed in cool breeze, silver starlight
We are embraced by a cool breeze and a luster of silver stars
Breaks dawn from night
Daybreak fragments the darkness of night
And so, we pass on by
Thus, we move ahead
The crimson eye
The red eye
Of great God Mars
Of the mighty deity Mars
As we travel the universe
During our expedition in the cosmos

We sail through endless skies
Stars shine like eyes
The black night sighs
The moon in silver trees
Falls down in tears
Light of the night
The Earth, a purple blaze
Of sapphire haze
In orbit always
While down below the trees
Bathed in cool breeze
Silver starlight breaks down the night
And so we pass on by the crimson eye
Of great god Mars
As we travel through the universe

Caravana Planetária
Nós viajamos
Por céus infinitos
As estrelas brilham como olhos
Suspira a escura noite
A lua
Em árvores cor de prata
Cai em lágrimas
A luz da noite
A terra
Uma chama púrpura
Da neblina cor de safira
Sempre em órbita
Enquanto em baixo
Sob as árvores
Banhada em uma brisa fresca
A luz cor de prata das estrelas apaga a noite
E então
Nós passamos
Pelo olho carmesim
Do grande Deus Marte
Enquanto viajamos
Pelo universo

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was just diagnosed with very aggressive cancer and needless to say I felt helpless, empty, pissed, blamed GOD and everyone and everything and I sank deeper into addiction and alcoholism and one night I was REALLLLLLLY wasted and suicidal and then I heard THIS version, not Sabbaths version (which kicks ass too) and this song just helped me start to see the future. It gave me hope. Gave me the will to fight and fight I did. Despite Drs saying my chances were less than 10% of surviving. That was 9 years ago and I am STILL HERE, still listening to this song EVERY day. I wake up to it, I go to sleep listening to it. The power of the human spirit, the power of music is life changing. I wish you ALLLLLLLLL the best and NEVER let life get ya down. Yer stronger than u think. Thanks for listening 😊
