Space Travel
10. Yellowcard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard a voice last night
It said wake up and open your eyes
Wake up walk out tonight
'Cause she don't care if you're dead or alive
Dead or alive

She moves like beams of light
Straight through this universe in my head
Where I get peace of mind
Free from the stupid things that I said
She's all in my head

Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away

Somewhere behind her eyes
Some supernatural energy
Takes me for quite the ride
Across time where I defy gravity
This energy

Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away for now

Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too
Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away
(Far away)




You are far away
Far away for now

Overall Meaning

In Yellowcard’s song “Space Travel,” the singer finds himself lost in space, both physically and emotionally. He hears a voice telling him to wake up and open his eyes, but it’s unclear whether this voice is real or a product of his imagination. He longs for someone who doesn’t seem to care whether he’s dead or alive, and he finds solace in a planet far away where he feels free from the mistakes he’s made. Throughout the song, he refers to a woman who moves like beams of light, describing her as a supernatural force that takes him on a ride through time and space.


The lyrics of “Space Travel” are open to interpretation, but they seem to suggest that the singer is searching for something he can’t find on Earth. His journey through space represents his attempts to escape reality, but ultimately he realizes that he can’t run away from his problems forever. The woman he references may be a love interest or a manifestation of his desire for something greater than himself. The chorus repeats the line “Did I get lost while I was gone?,” which serves as a reminder of the singer’s uncertainty and confusion.


Overall, “Space Travel” is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the loneliness and desperation that can come with searching for meaning in life. The use of space imagery adds a dreamlike quality to the song and emphasizes the sense of being adrift and disconnected from reality.

I had an epiphany in my sleep


It said wake up and open your eyes

She takes me on a thrilling journey through time and space


Across time where I defy gravity
We transcend the boundaries of time and space together

We're separated for the time being, but I won't give up


You are far away
Distance still separates us


Far away)
We're still far apart
