Space
The Beta Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Start is the end
More or less
Do you brake for the bend?
More or less

The Milky Way results from the crowding
Of extremely faint stars

Friend is a fruit
More or less
Love it but you lost a tooth
More or less

The Milky Way results from the crowding
Of extremely faint stars

Can it be, can it be?
It's not impossible, I know
'Cause I led/let it here
Now it seems to make more sense
And I know I'm round the bend (?)

Can you break through the final stage?
More or less
Do you sing to control your rage?
More or less

The Milky Way results from the crowding
Of extremely faint stars

Can it be, can it be?
It's not impossible, I know
'Cause I led/let it here
Now it seems to make more sense
And I know I'm round the bend (?)

Overall Meaning

The Beta Band's song "Space" is a beautifully written track that explores the concept of confusion and the search for clarity. The lyrics are cryptic yet poetic, leaving the listener to interpret their meaning in their own way. The song opens with the line "Start is the end, more or less. Do you brake for the bend, more or less?" This can be interpreted as an existential question about the cyclical nature of our lives and if we are prepared for the inevitable changes that lie ahead.


The next set of lyrics talks about the Milky Way and its formation, stating that it results from the crowding of extremely faint stars. This can be seen as a metaphor for how we as individuals often feel lost in the vastness of the universe, yet, in reality, we are all interconnected and part of something much larger.


Later in the song, there is a reference to a friend who is a fruit, but the singer has lost a tooth while enjoying it, leaving them to experience both the joy and pain of life. The question "can it be, can it be?" is repeated throughout the song, perhaps reflecting the confusion the singer feels about their place in the universe.


Overall, "Space" is a thought-provoking song that encourages the listener to ponder their place in the cosmos and the importance of finding clarity in a confusing world.
