Get In The Booth
5 x 5
All systems operational
I'm so alive
Everything is 5 x 5

Got me feeling like there's no gravity
trying to look at the space between you and me boy
just trying to get into your world

I need your smile to bring me safely back to earth
cause when you touch me, boy I'm in another universe
I just wanna stay here 'til the end of time

No matter where you are
baby your love is a guiding star
switch into overdrive
'Cause everything is 5 x 5

All systems operational
just give the word
I'll give you lovin' unconditional
don't you know you're my life support
I'm so alive
now everything is 5 x 5

Celebration when we're standing face to face
A calculation as my heart beats into hyperspace
I wanna stay here til the end of time

No matter where we are
baby you'll shine like the brightest star
switch into overdrive
- everything is 5 x 5

All systems operational
just give the word
I'll give you lovin' unconditional
don't you know you're my life support
I'm so alive
Everything is 5 x 5

No matter where you are
baby your love is a guiding star
switch into overdrive
- everything is 5 x 5

All systems operational
just give the word
I'll give you lovin' unconditional
don't you know you're my life support
I'm so alive

All systems operational (all)
just give the word (give the word)
I'll give you lovin' unconditional (unconditional)
don't you know you're my life support (you're my life support)
I'm so alive

All systems operational
just give the word
I'll give you lovin' unconditional
don't you know you're my life support




I'm so alive
now everything is 5 x 5

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cygnus X's song "Superstring" describe a feeling of being drawn towards someone else and wanting to be with them forever. The line "Got me feeling like there's no gravity" suggests that being with this person makes the singer feel weightless and free. The repetition of "everything is 5 x 5" emphasizes the feeling of everything being right and in alignment when the singer is with their loved one.


The lyrics also suggest that the singer sees their partner as their "life support," with lines like "just give the word/ I'll give you lovin' unconditional/ don't you know you're my life support." This shows the importance of the other person in the singer's life and how much they rely on them for emotional support.


The theme of space and exploration is also present in the lyrics, with lines like "trying to look at the space between you and me boy" and "A calculation as my heart beats into hyperspace." These references to science fiction suggest a desire for adventure and exploration with the loved one, but also hint at the potential dangers and uncertainties of such a journey.
