Blast Off
Bruno Mars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Clouds are blowin', don't know where we're goin'
But we're levitatin' up in this room (ah-ha-ha)
All these colors just like rainbows in summer
Got us smilin' like our dreams just came true, yeah

I took a little somethin' to get here, yeah, yeah
I got a little more if you're ready, we can have it all
Oh, let's tip-toe to a magical place
Blast off and kiss the moon tonight
We'll watch the world go crazy from outer space
Blast off into the sky

As we're flyin' stars are multiplyin'
We're up so high, we'd be fools to look down (don't look down) (ah-ha-ha)
Shapes turn paisley, this is so amazing
Destination pure sensation starting right now, woo

I took a little somethin' to get here, yeah, yeah
I got a little more if you're ready, we can have it all

Oh, let's tip-toe to a magical place
Blast off and kiss the moon tonight
We'll watch the world go crazy from outer space
Blast off into the sky

Into the sky
Into the sky
Into the sky
Dance all night on Saturn's wing
If you got some friends that you wanna bring
Then come on
It's time to take this party up and beyond

Let's tip-toe to a magical place (yeah, come fly with me)
Blast off and kiss the moon tonight (to the moon and the stars above)
We'll watch the world go crazy from outer space (look)
(You know the place and I got the tickets to get there)
Blast off into the sky (woo)

Blastin' off straight to some good vibrations
Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah)
Blastin' off straight to some good vibrations
Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah)

Blastin' off straight to some good vibrations
Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah) (woo)
Blastin' off straight to some good vibrations
Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah) (come on)
Blastin' off straight to some good vibrations
Can we take it higher? (Oh yeah)

All the way from the stratosphere




Sendin' love from up above
Happy trails, baba

Overall Meaning

The song "Blast Off" by Bruno Mars Anderson .Paak & Silk Sonic begins with a description of a trippy, dreamlike state. The lyrics talk about being unsure of where the journey will take them, but enjoying the moment just the same. The colorful imagery, like rainbows in summer, elicits a sense of joy and wonder. They take something to enhance the experience, which is hinted at in the lyrics, and are ready to go higher.


The chorus is a call to venture to a magical place and take off towards the moon. The world below is "crazy," but they are unaffected, flying high in the sky. The song plays around with different trippy concepts like "stars multiplying" and shapes "turning paisley." The idea of pure sensation is also mentioned and they invite others to join them in the journey. There's a suggestion of love being spread from the stratosphere, as the song ends on the note of happy trails.

Its crazy listening to this ablum, makes me realize i haven't heard this many instruments playing on a album in YEARS, it feels good hearing drums, precussion, piano etc..

@Carbangul

if you vibe with this masterpiece and are looking for other music like it, this song has the same modern soul groove and I think you'd like it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpJ0mS5NPlI

@zyxwvu2483

Yes! Same thing in was thinking!

@Tj956

Real Bands are missing in music today!

@grawham

​@@Tj956 maybe in pop music! Which is why this album is SO REFRESHING. But if you're not following any other dope-ass bands right now, that's just not paying attention =)

@cliftonmontgomery9467

Really??? Anderson Paak's albums, which he has been putting out pretty consistently, all have actual instruments.

“Blastin off straight to some good vibrations, can we take it higher? Oh yeaaaaaa!” I could listen to that build looped forever.

@annisaarthur-castro6227

I'm going to cut it and loop in on my phone! I did the same thing for Stevie Wonder's , "Send One Your Love" bridge and Solange's bridge for, "Jerrod".

@jalissatowns7596

My favorite part, I can’t stop playing it.
