Scientific Reality
Astrix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is there some disco fans in here tonight?

It's beautiful, It's like liquid
It slides all over everything
Comes up in waves, wave after wave after wave...
I never told anybody, but this ship knew about it
It knows my fears, it knows my secrets.
Gets inside your head, and it shows you
Look, if what Dr Weir tells us is true this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality





Overall Meaning

The first line of Astrix's song Scientific Reality seemingly has little to do with the rest of the lyrics. However, it appears to be a nod to the origins of electronic dance music, which emerged from disco in the 1970s. The rest of the song is a reflection on the mind-bending experience of exploring new frontiers in space. The line "It's beautiful, It's like liquid" describes the awe-inspiring majesty of the unknown, which seems to move and flow like a liquid substance. The imagery of waves crashing over the listener suggests the overwhelming force of this experience.


Line by Line Meaning

Is there some disco fans in here tonight?
Astrix opens the song with a question for the audience, which is unrelated to the rest of the lyrics and serves only to set the tone and atmosphere for the track.


It's beautiful, It's like liquid
Astrix describes the sensation of an unknown feeling that's beautiful like a liquid, in an attempt to capture the ethereal quality of this experience and convey it to the listener.


It slides all over everything
Astrix suggests that this mysterious sensation moves and covers everything, much like a fluid substance, indicating its all-pervasive nature.


Comes up in waves, wave after wave after wave...
The sensation seems to intensify and repeat itself, coming in waves that keep building up, implying a certain cyclic aspect to it that's beyond human comprehension.


I never told anybody, but this ship knew about it
Astrix hints towards a connection between the mysterious sensation and a spaceship, suggesting that he alone is aware of this connection, which the ship itself seems to be privy to as well.


It knows my fears, it knows my secrets.
Astrix implies that the ship has some kind of awareness, possibly a consciousness of its own, which seems to be able to penetrate the minds of its passengers and somehow access their deepest fears and secrets.


Gets inside your head, and it shows you
Astrix describes the experience of this mysterious sensation as something that literally gets inside your head, suggesting that it alters your perception of reality and shows you things that you're unable to comprehend.


Look, if what Dr Weir tells us is true this ship has been beyond the boundaries of our universe, of known scientific reality
Astrix ends the song with a final revelation, suggesting that the ship's ability to transcend the boundaries of scientific reality is linked in some way to the unexplainable sensation that he's been describing throughout the track. This raises many questions about what this sensation actually is and what the implications of the ship's journey beyond known scientific boundaries might be.
