Castaway
Benassi Bros. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm wandering alone in an open space
Looking around for a human trace
Along the edge of this satellite
Losing the route in this empty sky

I'm prey of the ghosts of this galaxy
Loosing myself in this ecstasy
No clock is turning to sign the time
Everything's floating through day and night

No noise is breaking my silent star
I'm on the run, i can go so far
Flying in absence of gravity
Feeling the vibe of eternity

This is the lesson I had to learn
This is the treasure I had to earn
I am the owner of nowhere land
Queen of a castle that's made of sand

Staring in front of the universe
Maybe someday I'll meet someone else




I'm sure I'll do it, but 'till that day
Here on my star I am just a castaway

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Benassi Bros.'s song Castaway describe a sense of loneliness and isolation in the vast expanse of space. The singer is searching for any signs of human presence but is instead haunted by the ghosts of the galaxy. They feel lost in the emptiness of the sky with no markers of time or direction. Despite this, the singer is also experiencing a sense of euphoria and freedom as they fly through the weightlessness of space.


The chorus of the song reveals a lesson that the singer has had to learn through their journey as a castaway. They have become the "owner of nowhere land" and the "queen of a castle that's made of sand." This implies that despite the lack of tangible connections to the rest of the world, the singer has found an inner strength and purpose. The song ends on a note of optimism, suggesting that although the singer may be alone for now, eventually they will meet someone else in the universe.


Overall, the lyrics to Castaway can be interpreted as a meditation on the human condition of feeling both isolated and free. The vastness of space provides an apt metaphor for the feelings of loneliness and insignificance that we all traverse, but it also represents the limitless potential for personal growth and self-discovery.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm wandering alone in an open space
I am aimlessly wandering by myself in an unoccupied area


Looking around for a human trace
I am searching for any evidence of human existence in this place


Along the edge of this satellite
I am near the perimeter of this celestial body


Losing the route in this empty sky
I am no longer following a path in this void above


I'm prey of the ghosts of this galaxy
I am a victim of the haunting spirits of this space


Loosing myself in this ecstasy
I am losing my sense of self in this delightful trance


No clock is turning to sign the time
There are no time-telling devices indicating the duration


Everything's floating through day and night
All objects are suspended in perpetual motion despite the absence of day and night


No noise is breaking my silent star
There is no sound disturbing the stillness of my star


I'm on the run, i can go so far
I am evading something and can travel great distances


Flying in absence of gravity
I am airborne despite the lack of gravitational pull


Feeling the vibe of eternity
I am sensing the aura of everlastingness


This is the lesson I had to learn
This is the education I was required to obtain


This is the treasure I had to earn
This is the valuable possession I had to accrue


I am the owner of nowhere land
I am the possessor of land that does not exist


Queen of a castle that's made of sand
I am the ruler of a fortress that can easily crumble


Staring in front of the universe
I am gazing at the vast cosmos


Maybe someday I'll meet someone else
Perhaps in the future, I will encounter another being


I'm sure I'll do it, but 'till that day
I have confidence that it will happen, but until then


Here on my star I am just a castaway
I am stranded on my celestial body, isolated and alone
