You've been tryin' to out me
You've been tryin' say stuff
I've been tryin' to pray up
Why you tryin' to pray now?
Pray it all away now
This shit's tangle mess up
Get out of my head
"Cause I don't play like that, play like that
I don't need all that, have you back
Oh now I'm moving on, now I'm moving on
Moving on, now I'm moving on
Why you play like that, roll like that
You hold me back let go of that
Moving on, now I'm moving on
Moving on, now I'm moving on
Now I'mma fall you back into the galaxy
I'mma fall you back into the galaxy

I'mma fall you back into the galaxy
Fly with the stars yeah we'll be here for a while
Seein' that my love only for you
Wonderful night won't you float for a while
Leave all my love for you, love for you
You've been trying break me
You've been tryna' shake me
But like the earth I'm steady

And time and time again you say my name
But if you wanna go we can take it up to space
Baby darling you should be ashamed
I'mma have you walkin' deep into the milky way
'Cause I don't play like that, play like that
I don't need all that, have you back
Moving on, now I'm moving on
Moving on, now I'm moving on
Why you play like that, roll like that
You hold me back let go of that

Imma fall you back into the galaxy
Fly with the stars yeah we'll be here for a while
Seein' that my love only for you
Wonderful night won't you float for a while
Leave all my love for you, love for you
The lyrics of Chloe x Halle's "Galaxy" talk about a relationship where one person is trying to manipulate the other, constantly trying to control and influence them. The singer acknowledges that the other person has been trying to "break" and "shake" them, but they refuse to give in, comparing themselves to the steady Earth that won't be easily moved. There is a sense of frustration and determination as the singer recognizes the toxic behavior of the other person and decides that they are moving on from that negativity.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's refusal to engage in manipulative games and toxic behavior. They assert their independence and self-worth, stating that they don't need the drama and are focused on moving forward in their life. The repetition of "moving on" reflects a strong resolve to leave behind the negative influences and emotional baggage that the other person is trying to impose.
The imagery of falling back into the galaxy symbolizes a return to a place of peace and harmony, away from the chaos and toxicity of the relationship. It conveys a sense of liberation and freedom, as the singer seeks solace in the vastness of the universe, away from the troubles caused by the other person. The mention of flying with the stars and leaving all their love behind for that person suggests a bittersweet farewell, holding onto fond memories while moving forward onto a new path.
Overall, "Galaxy" is a powerful song about recognizing toxic relationships, asserting one's independence, and finding peace and closure by moving on. The lyrics convey a mix of frustration, determination, and a sense of empowerment as the singer decides to break free from negative influences and toxic behavior, ultimately seeking solace and love in the vast expanse of the universe.
