Skydive
Astronauts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something big in this room
And it isn't me and it's not you
Works away at my bones
Grinds me down, grinds me down

But there's a window in here
I can open up and fall through
Any hour of the day, there I could, there I could

There's something bad in this room
When I've been waiting to tell you
Chips away at my kind
And I just need to go, need to go

When I've planted outside
I won't look back for anyone
I'm walking into the sunshine
Never believe it's true but it's true

It's the bit when I'm near the end
Nothing hanging on from me
Turning round, I'll be turning round
Falling down to the street

Cause I can tell when you're all dried up
You never see me run so afraid
I'll be making the best of my time
I'm stretching out...like a skydive

Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive




Stretching out like a skydive
Stretching out like a skydive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Skydive" by Astronauts depict the feeling of being trapped in a situation that is slowly deteriorating one's mental and emotional state. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song as the singer realizes they are not the ones in control of the situation. The weight of their circumstances is beginning to wear them down, and they can feel it in their bones.


Despite this feeling of hopelessness, there is a small glimmer of hope presented in the form of a window. The singer recognizes that they have an opportunity to escape, to fall through the window and break free from the weight that has been grinding them down.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more adamant in their desire to leave. They acknowledge that something bad is in the room with them - perhaps a toxic relationship or environment - and that they need to go before it chips away at their spirit any further. The final lines of the song bring a sense of empowerment as the singer declares that they are stretching out like a skydive, ready to make the most of their time and escape whatever has been holding them back.


Overall, "Skydive" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has felt trapped or weighed down by their circumstances. It encourages listeners to embrace opportunities for change and take control of their lives.


Line by Line Meaning

There's something big in this room
There is a heavy weight in this situation


And it isn't me and it's not you
It is not caused by either of us


Works away at my bones
It is taking a physical and emotional toll on me


Grinds me down, grinds me down
Continually draining and exhausting me


But there's a window in here
Despite the weight, there is still a way out


I can open up and fall through
I can escape and leave everything behind


Any hour of the day, there I could, there I could
It is always an option to leave


There's something bad in this room
Something negative is present


When I've been waiting to tell you
I've been keeping this to myself for a while


Chips away at my kind
Slowly erodes away my character


And I just need to go, need to go
I have to leave to protect myself


When I've planted outside
Once I've left this place


I won't look back for anyone
I won't dwell on what has happened or who I've left behind


I'm walking into the sunshine
I'm moving towards a brighter future


Never believe it's true but it's true
It's hard to accept the truth of the situation, but I know I have to leave


It's the bit when I'm near the end
The most difficult part of the situation is when it's almost over


Nothing hanging on from me
I won't be holding onto any baggage


Turning round, I'll be turning round
I'll be leaving this all behind


Falling down to the street
The act of leaving will be like falling, but it's necessary


Cause I can tell when you're all dried up
I can sense when things have reached a breaking point


You never see me run so afraid
I rarely show my fear, but this situation has pushed me to my limit


I'll be making the best of my time
I'm determined to make the most of my life


I'm stretching out...like a skydive
I'm taking a leap of faith, stretching myself to new heights and embracing the unknown


Stretching out like a skydive
Continuing to push myself past my limits


Stretching out like a skydive
Embarking on a thrilling adventure


Stretching out like a skydive
Taking risks, feeling the freedom of letting go


Stretching out like a skydive
Living life to the fullest


Stretching out like a skydive
Progressing beyond my comfort zone


Stretching out like a skydive
Thriving in the face of uncertainty


Stretching out like a skydive
Overcoming my fears and embracing new experiences


Stretching out like a skydive
Taking flight and soaring above the obstacles in my way

В этой комнате что-то большое,
И это не я, и это не ты,
Оно разъедает мои кости,
Изнашивает меня, изнашивает меня.

Но здесь есть окно,
Которое я могу открыть и упасть через него,
В любое время дня, там я мог бы, там я мог бы.

Оооо, в этой комнате что-то плохое,
Когда я ждал, чтобы сказать тебе,
Оно кусочками отбирает мою доброту,
И мне просто нужно уйти, нужно уйти.

Когда я посажу себя снаружи,
Я не буду оглядываться назад для кого-либо,
Я иду под солнечными лучами,
Не верь, что это правда, но это правда.

Это момент, когда я близок к концу,
Ничего не держится за мной,
Поворачиваясь, я буду поворачиваться,
Упаду на улицу.

Потому что я могу понять, когда ты совсем иссяк,
Ты никогда не видел, чтобы я бежал так испуганно,
Я буду использовать свое время наилучшим образом,
Я простираюсь... как прыжок с парашютом.

Оооо, простираюсь, словно прыжок с парашютом.
