INTERSTELLAR
Amplifier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And leave this planet far behind
And travel the road to kingdom come
Got a universe to sail across and across, now we’ve just begun
Now we’ve just begun
And stretching out ahead of me
Promised to eternal skies
Got a universe to sail across and across, like a jet black sea
Travelling faster than light
Travelling faster than light
Faster than light
Is the only way to be
Is the only way to be
We’ll go somewhere you may have been
Kick the engine to overdrive
Run faster than a laser beam
Got a universe to sail across and across, ’till the day I die
And riding high
’Cause I’ve got a universe to sail across and across, ’till the day I die
Travelling faster than light
Travelling faster than light
Faster than light
Travelling faster than light
Faster than light
Travelling faster than light
Faster than light
Is the only way to be
Is the only way to be
Travelling faster than light
Travelling faster than light
Is the only way to be
And the only possibility
To be truly free
Well, I know that you seek the control for the heart and the soul
Interstellar by Amplifier is a song about leaving behind the limitations and boundaries of our physical world and journeying to distant galaxies, fueled by the inherent desire for the human spirit to explore the universe. The opening lyrics "Gonna take a trip to a distant sun and leave this planet far behind" capture the essence of the song's theme, suggesting the desire to break free from the constraints of earth and venture into the unknown.
The song speaks to the idea of a journey of escape, with the singer describing the trip as one to "kingdom come," a reference to the afterlife. This could be interpreted as the singer's desire to distance himself from this world as a way of elevating his spirit to a higher plane. Lines like "Travelling faster than light, faster than light, is the only way to be" suggest that the only way to find true freedom is to transcend time and space.
Overall, Interstellar is a poetic meditation on the universal desire for freedom and an ode to the human spirit's boundless potential.
