Blue Hawaii
ASTR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Penned dreams
can set your mind free
Beach palm
drop dead inside me
Black whole
nowhere to find me
And we wonder where we lack
Wash away in paradise
We're so gone, we're so
We're so gone
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
Fresh meat
In my new condo
Next drinks
In El Dorado
Go hard
Hood rich casino
Pack your
Misled libido
And the stars are in the sky
And we wonder where we lack
Watch your way in paradise
We're so gone, we're so
We're so gone
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
And the stars are in the sky
And we wonder where we lack
Watch your way in paradise
We're so gone, we're so
We're so gone
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
The lyrics to ASTR's song Blue Hawaii paint a vivid picture of both physical and emotional isolation. The first two lines "Dead dreams in Hawaii, Penned dreams can set your mind free" suggest the idea of someone traveling to Hawaii to escape their problems or try to create a new reality for themselves, only to find that their dreams are unattainable and meaningless. The next two lines, "Beach palm drop dead inside me, Black hole nowhere to find me" further create the sense of despair and loneliness as the singer feels trapped and lost.
The chorus, "And the stars are in the sky, And we wonder where we lack, Wash away in paradise, We're so gone, we're so" reinforces the sense of disconnection and searching for meaning. The reference to "paradise" suggests the idea of a perfect place, but the singer feels lost even in this idyllic setting, highlighting the theme of disillusionment.
The next portion of the song, "Fresh meat in my new condo, Next drinks in El Dorado, Go hard hood rich casino, Pack your misled libido" further references the idea of escapism and indulgence, but the singer still feels disconnected and not fulfilled.
Overall, Blue Hawaii is a song that touches on themes of isolation, disillusionment, and searching for meaning even in the midst of pleasing surroundings.

Abandoned hopes in a place of paradise
Penned dreams
Ideas and aspirations that were jotted down
can set your mind free
Recording one's dreams can clear the mind from distractions
Beach palm
The tall trees that grow by the seashore
drop dead inside me
The feeling of despair that is slowly consuming one's self
Black whole
A void that seems impenetrable
nowhere to find me
Lost and unreachable
And the stars are in the sky
A reminder of the vast universe and our place in it
And we wonder where we lack
Questioning our shortcomings and struggles
Wash away in paradise
The cleansing effect of being in a beautiful place
We're so gone, we're so
We're so absorbed and detached from reality
Fresh meat
New faces or opportunities
In my new condo
A place of luxury and comfort
Next drinks
Anticipation of future parties and festivities
In El Dorado
In a place of mythical wealth and abundance
Go hard
Pushing oneself to the limit
Hood rich casino
A gambling establishment in a less privileged area
Pack your
Prepare yourself
Misled libido
A desire fueled by false pretenses
We're so gone
We're so lost and caught up in the moment
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
A call for everyone to join in and let go
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
Reinforcing the invitation to join the party
And the stars are in the sky
Emphasizing the insignificance of our problems in the grand scheme
And we wonder where we lack
Repeated to emphasize the questioning of one's own failures
Watch your way in paradise
To be careful of one's actions in a seemingly perfect setting
We're so gone, we're so
Repeating to emphasize the detachment from reality
We're so gone
Reiterating the theme of being absorbed in the moment
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
Ending with the same call to party and let go
EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY
Concluding with the same invitation to let loose

Wow, I have been listening to ASTR for so long, I never realized how underrated they were. They definitely need more recognition like all their songs are out of this world 🙃

For me in 2014, ASTR was a fucking revelation. Still listeting to Operate, Hawaii, Goodnight and Going Home. Thanks for everything.

I also listened to this like 2015 In 2014 I graduated highschool like this song captures a time period of a few years for me that seems like it was so long ago lmao like damnear 10years forsure.But I love her I was very proud of her for this one and operate like if I was at a concert I'd be like "Yaaaaaaassss you the shit" like she seems cool and should have been in the mainstream long running like ... I hate to make the comparison but like how Katy Perry stayed on top for a long time like Rhianna or Beyonce... Like that

I’ve loved this song for YEARS I heard it across the country from where I live a few years ago after having completely forgotten about it for quite some time. I’m so happy to be here.
