Andromeda
Gorillaz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the passing looks to die for
Take it in your heart now, lover
When the case is out
And tired and sodden
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart

Back to when it was cool
'Cause there's no substitute
Who even knows the truth?
The truth, the truth

Take it in your heart now, lover
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Where it all goes down

Outside, cold and ghosting out with jet lag
I took it to the right man
Took it all back
When the courts were closing
It was Bobby gracing
I know that
A bullet to the right man
He pulled it back

Caught in your eyes
Stacks of lights
Come streaming back
Make it for the best times
Growing pains, good times
Good times, good times
Good times, good times
Good times, good times

Take it in your heart now, lover
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart
Where it all goes down

Andromeda
Andromeda, Andromeda
Take it in your heart now, lover
Andromeda, Andromeda
Andromeda, Andromeda
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart
Where it all goes down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Gorillaz's song Andromeda speak of taking things in your heart, particularly during tough times. The opening lyrics suggest that some things may look nice on the surface, but are ultimately empty or fleeting. The singer advises to take these things in one's heart nonetheless, perhaps to appreciate the beauty of the moment before it's gone. "Back to when it was cool" implies a sense of nostalgia, with the suggestion that the current state of things is not as good as it used to be. The phrase, "who even knows the truth?" suggests a sense of disillusionment or uncertainty.


The second verse reveals that the singer has gone through hardships and taken their case to someone they trust ("the right man"). The mention of Bobby as the one who "graced" the situation suggests that Bobby was instrumental in helping the singer in some way. The reference to a "bullet to the right man" could be interpreted in different ways - perhaps it's a metaphor for risk-taking, or for going to great lengths to fix a problem. The next lines of the verse are somewhat cryptic, with "caught in your eyes, stacks of lights" suggesting a sensory overload, or perhaps being stuck in a situation that one cannot escape from.


Overall, the lyrics to Andromeda suggest a sense of weariness and a desire for solace. The repeated chorus of "take it in your heart now, lover" seems to reaffirm that the singer is not alone, and someone is there for them. The reference to Andromeda, a galaxy two million light-years away from Earth, suggests a sense of distance and isolation, but the repetition of the name also gives it a hypnotic quality.

When the passing looks to die for
Take it in your heart now love her
When the case is out
And you're tired and sodden
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart

Back to when it was cool
'Cause there's no substitute
Who even knows the truth?
The truth, the truth

Take it in your heart now, love her
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Take it in your heart
Take it in your heart, heart, heart, heart
Where it all goes down

Outside cold, it ghost in now, it jet lag
I took it to the right man
Took it all back
When the courts were closing
It was Bobby gracing
I know that
I put it to the right man
He put it back

@trxnzmufc8942

@lil crispy if you're referring to Saturnz Barz, you couldn't be anymore wrong. Popcaan isn't Nigerian, rather Jamaican.

@wakeup1789

Lil crispy I have 2 reasons for how you’re wrong

1.u mean saturnz barz

2.it’s Jamaican and it’s not nonsense
