Astronauts
BriBry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a century that keeps feet so firmly off the ground,
You can't stand this place.
Well, I'm with you 'till the end,
So let us both go to outer space.
With nothing but pens for one will say,
"When we come back..."
Sleepy thoughts, seeing us as astronauts,
But in your passenger seat I feel limitless.
Success in the end, it all depends,
On whether you're still my oldest friend.
On the days you're suffering,
Then the world is on my shoulders too.
And if you ever died,
I'd question going on without you.
Would I make it to the end?
Would I bother going to outer space,
With nothing but a broken mind to keep me safe.
Would I come back?
Sleepy thoughts seeing us as astronauts,
But in your passenger seat I feel limitless.
Success in the end, it all depends,
On whether you're still my oldest friend.
Sleepy thoughts seeing us as astronauts,
But in your passenger seat I feel limitless.
Success in the end, it all depends,
On whether you're still,
On whether you're still,
On whether you're still
Sleepy thoughts seeing us as astronauts,
But in your passenger seat I feel limitless.
Success in the end, it all depends,
On whether you're still my oldest friend.
The song "Astronauts" by BriBry talks about the struggles of dealing with change in a world that is constantly evolving. The opening lines, "Are you sick of all this change? / In a century that keeps feet so firmly off the ground, / You can't stand this place," show the frustration and uncertainty that comes with trying to adapt to new situations. The singer empathizes with the listener, saying that they are in it together until the end, and suggests that they escape the chaos by going to outer space. However, the question remains whether they would still want to go if one of them was not there, highlighting the importance of their relationship in navigating the challenges of life.
The imagery of astronauts and outer space further emphasizes the idea of escaping the struggles of the world and finding a place where they can feel limitless. The sleepy thoughts mentioned in the chorus may represent the daydreams or illusions of escaping that both the singer and listener share. The success they seek in the lyrics also depends on the strength of their friendship, suggesting that they rely on each other to achieve their dreams and overcome obstacles.
Overall, "Astronauts" is a poignant and relatable song about dealing with change and finding solace in a supportive friendship. The chorus is catchy and the lyrics are emotive, making it a standout track in BriBry's discography.

We'll bring only our thoughts and creativity with us, and record the journey for others to hear.
"When we come back..."
We'll return someday, but for now, let's focus on the adventure ahead.
Sleepy thoughts, seeing us as astronauts,
In our moments of fatigue, we imagine ourselves as explorers in space.
But in your passenger seat I feel limitless.
When I'm with you, I feel like anything is possible and I have no limitations holding me back.

Our ultimate achievement depends on our efforts and choices.
On whether you're still my oldest friend.
Our success is rooted in our friendship and loyalty to each other.
On the days you're suffering,
During moments of pain or difficulty, I feel your struggle too.
Then the world is on my shoulders too.
I share your burden and want to help you get through it.
And if you ever died,
If something were to happen to you, I fear I would be lost without you.
I'd question going on without you.
I'm not sure I could continue in this world without you by my side.
Would I make it to the end?
I wonder if I could survive in life without you as my friend.
Would I bother going to outer space,
If I don't have you to share the experience with, I question if it would be worth it.
With nothing but a broken mind to keep me safe.

Would I come back?
If I ever do venture out without you, I question if I would have the strength to return.
On whether you're still,
Everything depends on our friendship and whether we continue to support each other.
On whether you're still,
Our bond is what drives us forward and makes us want to explore new things together.
On whether you're still
Without you, I don't think I would be able to handle the unknown of outer space.

Even during our moments of rest, we dream big and imagine life as explorers in space.
But in your passenger seat I feel limitless.
You make me feel like anything is possible and there are no limits to what we can achieve together.
Success in the end, it all depends,
Our ultimate happiness and fulfillment depends on the choices we make and the paths we take.
On whether you're still my oldest friend.
As long as we have each other, we will continue to succeed and thrive.

I apologise if I got any wrong :)

Success in the end, oh it all depends on
Whether you're still my oldest friend
On the days you're suffering
Then the world is on my shoulders too
And if you ever died

Would I make it 'til the end
Would I bother going to outer space
With nothing but a broken mind to keep me safe
Would I come back
