Spaceway 70
Bruno Pernadas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you've been homesick
'Cause my eyes were blood shot from snow
The night that I met you
Ice-cold dreams make the road safe
I'm floating on the surface
At one point, I though I could die but nothing ever happened
Thousand jewels in the water
I get up and walk through the hallway
Haven't see your face around here
Alligators in a bad mood
Frightening little kids
Peeling off their dreams
On an lousy Sunday
Everyone's a bit insane
You can't rely on pain
You cannot miss the game
Across the outer blue space
How could you ever die?
How could you ever be mine?
You go wondering how it should be
In a space town
Sometimes I think I miss Debbie
In a desert I have found you
Alligators in a bad mood
Frightening little kids
Peeling off their dreams
On an lousy Sunday
Eating candy bars, old hats
Kitchen stuff and cash
Doesn't matter when
Solitude and daydream
Space way seventy
Blue stars in the highway
Splashing down a little rock wall
If we had time
You have been away
Doing crazy things
Catching all the planes
While I sit and wait
I felt I could rest a lifetime
But you see more people than I do
Travelled the world in a spacecraft
Yelling at your mother's boyfriend
Everything turns around gold
Since you've been homesick
At one point, I though I could die
But nothing ever happened
The lyrics of "Spaceway 70" by Bruno Pernadas present the feeling of being lost while navigating life and relationships. The opening lines "Everything turns around gold / Since you've been homesick" might suggest that the singer's world has changed for the better since the person they care about became homesick, prompting a change in attitude or perspective. The mention of "bloodshot from snow" and "ice-cold dreams" creates a vivid image of the singer feeling cold and disorientated, but there is also a sense of safety on this road. The line "I thought I could die but nothing ever happened" might underline the fear we feel without really knowing the reason behind it.
Later, the lyrics mention alligators terrorizing kids and peeling off their dreams on a lousy Sunday, which might reflect on how we let our fears and worries get in the way of dreaming and enjoying life. The mention of "candy bars, old hats, kitchen stuff, and cash" creates a sense of mundanity, of being stuck in everyday life. But the mention of "blue stars in the highway" and "splashing down a little rock wall" reminds us that there's always something extraordinary waiting for us beyond the mundane.
Overall, the lyrics of "Spaceway 70" suggest that we all have our ups and downs, our fears and dreams, but it's important to keep moving forward and exploring the mysteries of life.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything turns around gold
Life seems better and more valuable since you've been longing to go back home
Since you've been homesick
I realize that you're feeling nostalgic and missing home
'Cause my eyes were blood shot from snow
I was feeling tired and dull, like the world had no color to offer, before I met you that snowy night
The night that I met you
That specific day of meeting you changed a lot of things for me
Ice-cold dreams make the road safe
Having a clear, sharp focus on dreams and goals can help navigate life's obstacles and challenges
I'm floating on the surface
I feel like I'm not fully engaged with the world and just existing on the surface
At one point, I though I could die but nothing ever happened
There were instances I thought I was on the brink of experiencing something unforgettable or fatal but none of that came to be
Silver flash rings going nowhere
Objects that look exquisite but have no real function or purpose
Thousand jewels in the water
A landscape with so many lovely things to look at that it's overwhelming and hard to focus
I get up and walk through the hallway
Trying to find a way to fill an emptiness or meet a need inside oneself
Haven't see your face around here
Your absence has been felt and noticed
Alligators in a bad mood
Life's challenges and difficulties that can be scary or overwhelming
Frightening little kids
Those perceived challenges and difficulties impacting those who are more vulnerable
Peeling off their dreams
Those challenges robbing people of the aspirations and hopes they have for themselves
On an lousy Sunday
A bleak and uneventful day that feels like a wasted opportunity
Everyone's a bit insane
People have their idiosyncrasies that can be perceived as crazy or irrational by others
You can't rely on pain
Suffering or hardship doesn't necessarily always lead to growth or a positive outcome
You cannot miss the game
You have to be willing to engage with life and its opportunities, even if it's not perfect
Across the outer blue space
A sense of curiosity and wonder about the vast and mysterious universe outside of Earth
How could you ever die?
A sense of awe or incredulity at the human experience of mortality
How could you ever be mine?
Feeling undeserving or uncertain about why someone would want a relationship with you
You go wondering how it should be
Doubting the path you're on and wondering if there's a better way
In a space town
An imagined location where people are free to explore and be unencumbered
Sometimes I think I miss Debbie
Random thoughts or memories from the past that come to mind
In a desert I have found you
Unexpectedly finding someone or something meaningful when it seemed like it wouldn't be possible
Eating candy bars, old hats
Everyday activities or items that provide some sense of pleasure or comfort
Kitchen stuff and cash
Material possessions that may provide some tangible sense of security or wellbeing
Doesn't matter when
Regardless of the timing or circumstances
Solitude and daydream
Moments of quiet contemplation and imagination that are rejuvenating and necessary
Space way seventy
An imagined mode of travel to a different realm or state of mind
Blue stars in the highway
Bright and alluring lights that seem to guide the way
Splashing down a little rock wall
An abrupt or unexpected change in direction
If we had time
Hypothetically, if there were more opportunities available to us
You have been away
Acknowledging the distance between yourself and someone else
Doing crazy things
Taking risks or pursuing new experiences
Catching all the planes
Traveling to different parts of the world at a brisk pace
While I sit and wait
Someone else is making significant changes or taking big steps forward while you're staying in your familiar routine
I felt I could rest a lifetime
Feeling content and at peace with the present moment
But you see more people than I do
A contrast between people who have expansive social lives and those who are more solitary
Travelled the world in a spacecraft
Going to different physical or emotional places in a manner that seems glamorous or otherworldly
Yelling at your mother's boyfriend
Having interpersonal conflicts or disagreements that are uncomfortable or distressing
But nothing ever happened
Despite highs and lows, life has maintained a consistent rhythm and hasn't presented any major events or game-changers
