Rocket To The Moon
Émilie Simon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, Baby, I leave it up to you
Baby, Baby, it's your move
Are you gonna take this ride
What do you say
Baby, Baby, don't be late
I've got no time, I'm in a rush
I'm in a rush
I'm a rocket to the moon
I'm headed to the stars
The world is microscopic
I see it from afar
I'm saving you a seat
I know just what you need
You're always on the ground
Baby, Baby, I'm pushing you away
Baby, Baby, you don't have to stay
Baby, Baby, if you do
You'll know that what I say is true
Baby, Baby, don't be late
I've got no time, I'm in a rush
I'm in a rush
I'm a rocket to the moon,
I'm leaving very soon
You may press the button
Anytime you please
I'm ready to depart
You know where we are
And I know where to go
Baby, Baby, whatcha' gonna do
Baby, Baby, I leave it up to you
Baby, Baby, whatcha' gonna do
I'm a pioneer
I am the first
Woman on the earth
To make you feel this way
I'm saving you a seat
I know just what you need
You're always on the ground
A rocket to the moon
A rocket to the moon
A rocket to the moon
A rocket to the moon
The song "Rocket to the Moon" by Émilie Simon appears to be about a relationship that is at a crossroads. The singer, who is presumably the singer, is urging her partner to take a chance and join her on a thrilling journey. However, the partner is hesitant, perhaps because they are afraid of what the journey will entail or worried about leaving the comforts of the known behind. The repeated questions of "whatcha' gonna do" and "Baby, Baby, it's your move" underscore the indecision and tension in the relationship.
The imagery and language in the verse about being a rocket to the moon are particularly interesting. The singer juxtaposes the vastness of space and the microscopic nature of the world to evoke a sense of perspective and wonder. The line "You're always on the ground" suggests that the partner is too complacent or stuck in their ways, and the singer sees the potential for growth and adventure if they take the journey together. However, the use of "pushing you away" and "you don't have to stay" hints at a fear of rejection or hurt on the singer's part, as they seek to protect themselves by keeping the partner at arm's length.

je ne comprend pas que cet album n'est jamais percé, je l'ai instantanément adoré et acheté, je le mettais en boucle dans ma voiture à l'automne 2019, une des périodes les plus exaltantes de ma vie, après 15 ans de papillonage je me sentais enfin prêt à me fixer, bizarement j'étais tombé amoureux de 2 femmes en même temps, à cette époque j'écoutais cet album à tue tête, l'une est désormais ma femme on a 2 formidables enfants et je suis le papa/mari le plus heureux du monde

20 ans que je n'avais pas vécu d'expérience si transcendante.
Musique que ma mère écoutait lorsque j''étais encore dans son ventre ? Simple coup de génie de l'artiste à la voix qui n'est égalée que par sa vision futuriste ?
Qui sait ? Je n'espère qu'une chose, rencontrer cette âme au paradis.
Bismillah
