Outer Space Dixie
1 1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I ride 'round like I never live here
I never been here, might up and leave here
Might call my people, like, "Peace, I'll see ya"
I build a spaceship only for my leisure
I'll come back next year, I'm tired of collectors
Fake friends that's flexing, bozos that message
Under my comments, all of this nonsense
I think I'm a martian, I'm tryna be honest
Phone me home now, in my zone now
Got a space modulator, leave me 'lone now
All the stars and the planets, and I'm worried 'bout a cop
That might shoot down the drop 'cause I took off in the lot
High beams
I remember thinking what good is a telescope if I could never really go?
And what if we just marbles in a jar and God is playing Jacks
And one day he goes and roll us all out the pack, sheesh, picture that

I'm supposed to go farther, go higher
Do more, then that bullshit that you told me too
I'm supposed to discover life wonders
Without wondering all that bullshit that you put me through
I'ma go outer space one time, just one time
I'ma go outer space one time, just one time
Watch me
I'm supposed to go to my job, and try to even my odds
Then go and sit in my car in all this traffic like
I don't even live all that far, we used to talk about Mars
We barely look at the stars, what happened to flying cars?
I'ma go outer space one time, just one time
I'ma go outer space one time, just one time
Watch me

I remember all I ever wanted was a jetpack
So I could go farther in the hood that I would live at
'Stead of playing cops and robbers, probably should've astronauted
Might've seen another planet but we shooting pocket rockets
I'm just saying what's the plan?
We done spent too many days
Too many years, traffic jam
Way up, way up, way up there
I'ma take you if I can
Don't wait up, I'm way up
Outer space, never land, ay

I'm supposed to go farther, go higher
Do more, then that bullshit that you told me too
I'm supposed to discover life wonders
Without wondering all that bullshit that you put me through
I'ma go outer space one time, just one time
I'ma go outer space one time, just one time
Watch me
Watch me





Outer space one time
Outer space one time

Overall Meaning

The song "Outer Space Dixie" by 1 1 expresses the desire to escape the mundane and explore new horizons, both literally and metaphorically. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels constrained by their current circumstances and is longing for something more. They compare their life to being stuck in a jar like a marble, and imagine a world beyond the one they currently inhabit.

They reject the idea that working a typical job and sitting in traffic is all there is to life. Instead, they yearn to see the stars and journey to distant planets. The song ends on a note of determination and possibility, as the singer declares that they will go to outer space just one time, and invites listeners to watch them achieve their dreams.

Too many years, traffic jam
We've spent too many years stuck in traffic

I'm going to outer space, to neverland


Outer space one time
I want to go to outer space only once
