★M83 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The stars and planets are calling me
A billion years away
From you
I'm on my way
I'm on
I'm on
The lyrics to M83's song "My Tears Are Becoming A Sea" are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning is that the singer is experiencing a long-distance separation from someone they love. The singer feels like they are drifting away from their loved one, as if they are being pulled by the stars and planets. The mention of being a billion years away emphasizes just how far the singer feels from their loved one.
Despite the distance, the singer is determined to make their way back to their loved one. The repetition of "I'm on" in the last line of the chorus suggests a sense of purpose, as if the singer is actively working towards being reunited with their loved one. The use of the word "slowly" in the first line of the chorus implies that the journey will not be easy, but the singer is committed nonetheless.
Overall, "My Tears Are Becoming A Sea" is a song about the powerful force of love and the lengths people will go to be with those they care about. The use of celestial imagery adds to the grandiose, otherworldly feeling of the song and reinforces just how strong the singer's feelings are.

I'm slowly drifting to you
I am gradually moving towards you
The stars and planets are calling me
The astronomical bodies are beckoning me towards you
A billion years away
The distance between us is immense, equivalent to billions of years
From you
The separation is from you, the intended recipient of my approach
I'm on my way
I am en route towards you
I'm on
I have already embarked on my journey towards you

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises (get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises, please (get me out of here)

this song sounds like despair, no hope left just acceptance. it feels like what it feels like to be absoloutly crushed, tears streaming down your face but somehow everything is ok

It definitely brings up emotions of sadness and despair and your life being crushed . I always thought it’s about the realization that these socially accepted conforming norms of what we see as having a happy life are merely going to make you more miserable and dull and end up drowning you slowly till your time’s up . If I’d put it very direct , a life lived without surprises is like slow suicide but if you seek further than these norms you get curious about what really matters in your life and this brings you true happiness .
