Cosmos
Тату (t.a.t.u) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Games we don't want to play
Same winner everyday
Kill for the second best
Feel no more, feel no less

We have our minutes cut
We lose our feelings but
That's what the movies show
This is where stories go

Stars we don't want to reach
Scars we don't want to stitch
Go where we haven't been
Fly away, time machine

Cloud we will chase him out
Crowds, we will face them down
This is our secret place
Outer space, outer space

Our home forever is outer space
Black stars and endless seas, outer space
New home, new destinies, outer space
Forever we'll be in
Outer space, outer space

Ground we don't want to feel
Found what they didn't steal
Time, we were really lost
Bridges burnt, fingers crossed

We, shall we ever be free
With no guarantee
Life on another plane
Same before, same again

Go where you want to go
So no one ever knows
Only what we decide
Is it gone
Has it died

Dry every tear in my eye
You can tell me why
This is our secret place
Outer space, outer space

Our home forever is, outer space
Black stars and endless seas, outer space
New home, new destinies, outer space
Forever we'll be in
Outer Space, outer space

Outer space is where we get together
And this place we're meant to be
Stars are dancing and the time is fading
Dead forever,
You and me,
You and me

Racing stars and common moons are planets
In the cosmos, we are free
There's no atmosphere
And no obsessions
It'll always be
It'll always be

Our home forever is, outer space
Black stars and endless seas, outer space
New home, new destinies, outer space
Forever we'll be in
Outer Space, outer space

Our home forever is, outer space
Black stars and endless seas, outer space
New home, new destinies, outer space
Forever we'll be in





Outer space, outer space

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cosmos" by Тату (t.a.t.u) speak about the desire to escape from the painful realities of life on earth and find solace in outer space. The song portrays a sense of disillusionment with life, as it discusses various aspects of existence that the performers do not want to engage in. They reject the idea of playing games that lead to the same outcomes and killing for second best. The song highlights a sense of emotional detachment and disconnect from the world, as they lose their feelings and sense of self.


The lyrics also speak about the longing to explore and discover new places, as they chase clouds and face crowds down. The performers reveal that their secret place is outer space and that their home is forever in that distant universe. They describe outer space as a place of freedom and new destinies, where they can be whoever they want to be. Ultimately, the song speaks to the human desire to escape the mundanity of life and seek out new and exciting places beyond our reach.

Outer space, outer space
Our home forever is outer space
Black stars and endless seas, outer space
New hope, new destinies; outer space
Forever we'll be in
Outer space, outer space

Ground we don't want to feel
Found what they didn't steal
Time, we were really lost
Bridges burnt, fingers crossed

It'll always be
It'll always be
Our home forever is, outer space
Black stars and endless seas, outer space
New hope, new destinies; outer space
Forever we'll be in
Outer Space, outer space

Our home forever is, outer space

@FadedMxstery

In my honest opinion, this is up there with Not Gonna Get Us, All About Us, and All The Things She Said. The most underrated t.A.T.u. song.

@yesno9073

I kinda like Lena’s low voice in the beginning.

@grigcnc3504

at that time I felt lonely, I listened to Nirvana, Death Metal and Black Metal, and like all metalheads was laughing with a tATu. I’m 34 now and I’m very surprised that there is so much meaning and loneliness in tATu songs

@alexeyt6548

absolute truth

@EbonyFae

They were ostracised and forced to be who they weren't. They were very lonely

@maximksiendzov7797

Presicely, I was diehard t.A.T.u. fan back in the school days somewhat connected to that doom feeling they carried with literally every song of theirs. Back then they were labelled 'pop trash' not worth any attention but all the cool metal/rock guys. Years passed and I keep unwrapping all the hidden layers in tATu songs in awe.

@1Individu

Interestingly, there is a lot of metal covers of All the things she said, though.

@paultidwell8799

I'm into metal but I'm like Get better friends. I LOVE death metal I really do but that a lot of those guys want to be only game in town fuck em.
Why not both assholes? oh my fucking god.
