Landed On Mars
Atlas Bound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so unexpected
I've struggled to find any point of comparison

And now that I've left it
But don't know if I could ever have wanted this
Not sure that I would ever have wanted me
Ever wanted me
Certainly different, got to the side
Of what should I focus on
I'm just a participant
Honoring faith before anything greater comes
Honoring faith before anything greater comes

Anything greater comes
It's so unexpected (it's certainly different)
I've struggled to find
Any point of comparison
And now that I've left it (just a participant)
But don't know if I could ever have wanted this




Not sure what I would ever have wanted, now
Ever wanted that

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Atlas Bound's song Landed On Mars are full of introspection and self-analysis. The first few lines convey a sense of surprise and wonderment at finding oneself in an unexpected situation, one that is hard to compare to anything else experienced before. The use of the phrase "point of comparison" suggests that the singer is struggling to make sense of what is happening and to find a frame of reference that is familiar and comforting.


The next few lines suggest that the singer has left something behind but is unsure whether they actually wanted it or not. The repetition of "ever wanted me" underscores a sense of insecurity and doubt that pervades the entire song. The singer seems to be grappling with questions of identity and self-worth, wondering if they are deserving of the things they desire or if they are even capable of attaining them.


The final lines of the song suggest that the singer is placing their faith in something greater than themselves, something that is yet to come. This "anything greater" is ambiguous and undefined, but it provides a glimmer of hope and a sense of purpose to the singer, who seems to be struggling to navigate an uncertain and confusing world.

It's so unexpected
I've struggled to find
Any point of comparison
And now that I've lived it
I don't know if I could have ever wanted this
Not sure that I would have ever wanted this
Ever wanted this
Certainly different
Got to decide
