Mars
Brittany Underwood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They tell me it's nice this time of year, Down on earth.
But my heads been in the clouds I'm acting weird.
And lost for words.
Falling like the stars I'm,
Falling fast and hard for something I can't reach.
I could be here but you wouldn't see me,
Hover in the air like I'm just a daydream,
Oh.
Why does it feel so far?
Close enough to touch but your looking through me,
In the same room, a smile away feels,
Miles from where you are, Might as well be Mars.
Never been bound by gravity
But I am now.
You have made a human out of me,
And brought me down.
Falling like the stars I'm
Falling fast and hard for something I can't reach.
I could be here but you wouldn't see me,
Hover in the air like I'm just a daydream,
Oh.
Why does it feel so far?
Close enough to touch but your looking through me,
In the same room, a smile away feels,
Miles from where you are, Might as well be Mars.
I could be here but you wouldn't see me,
Hover in the air like I'm just a daydream,
Oh.
Why does it feel so far?
Close enough to touch but your looking through me,
In the same room, a smile away feels,
Miles from where you are.
Might as well be Mars.




Might as well be Mars.
Might as well be Mars.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Brittany Underwood's song "Mars" express the feeling of distance and disconnection from someone who is physically present but emotionally distant. The singer compares this feeling to being on another planet; it seems like they might as well be on Mars. The first verse sets the scene, with the singer's head "in the clouds" and feeling lost for words. They are falling for someone they can't reach, like a star falling from the sky. The chorus repeats the idea that the person is close enough to touch but emotionally distant, creating a feeling of being isolated and alone.


The second verse takes on a slightly more desperate tone, with the singer expressing the feeling of being "bound by gravity" for the first time. This indicates that they have been changed by their connection to the person they are singing about. They have become more human, or vulnerable, and as a result, the distance between them feels even more painful. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the sense of being physically close but emotionally distant.


Overall, the lyrics to "Mars" capture the feeling of wanting someone who is just out of reach, even when they are right in front of you. The comparison to another planet highlights the feeling of isolation and distance, emphasizing that no matter how close someone may be physically, emotional disconnection can make them feel miles away.
