Lost in Space
D.R.P.Q Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now you're as light as my deathbed
And though you speak like a fiend
You just sing like an angel
I'm not longing to hold
I'm not craving to touch you
I'm just blissful to be
I don't know why my grace is leaving
Often enough I bore your aching
Hoping to learn that you were faking
I don't know why my trace is leaving
I don't know what your face is meaning
Often enough you bore my sorrow
Hoping to catch a tear to borrow
I will be heading for your rocks
And trying to melt down the hardness
Of your soul
Of your soul
I was so light when we met
Now I'm as dark as your deathbed
And I will never be
I don't know why my grace is leaving
I don't know what your face is meaning
Often enough I bore your aching
Hoping to learn that you were faking
I don't know why my trace is leaving
I don't know what your face is meaning
Often enough you bore my sorrow
Hoping to catch a tear to borrow
I will be heading for your rocks
And trying to melt down the hardness
Of your soul
I will be heading for your rocks
And trying to melt down the hardness
Of your soul
Of your soul
Of your soul
The lyrics of D.R.P.Q's song Lost in Space are mainly about the overwhelming feeling of being lost in the vastness and emptiness of space. The first few lines describe the breathtaking beauty of the stars and celestial bodies that can be seen from a spacecraft's window. The singer, however, quickly shifts the tone from awe to apprehension as they mention the potential dangers that come with traversing the unknown expanses of space - asteroids that could collide with their ship and cause a tragedy, and the unreliability of their ship's controls which renders shouting and panicking useless. The chorus then highlights the feelings of loneliness and insignificance that can overcome anyone who finds themselves "Rushing through it all," - seemingly insignificant in the face of the universe's infinity. The last line, "Lost in space," is a poignant conclusion that encapsulates the entire theme of the song, that of existing in a space that is overwhelming, frightening and hostile.
In terms of the music, the song's dreamy, experimental sound perfectly mirrors the introspective lyrics about being lost in space. The slow, rhythmic beat and the ethereal soundscape add to the feeling of floating through the vast expanse of space, while the singer's emotive voice reinforces the sense of isolation and detachment.

Outside the window, a beautiful sight
The view from the window is breathtakingly gorgeous
Billions of stars, shining so bright
There are billions of stars that are visibly sparkling
Planets and entities, black holes and galaxies
There are several planets and cosmic bodies, including black holes and galaxies
Asteroids flying by, close to me
Asteroids are flying dangerously close by
Anyone could become a tragedy
There's a real possibility of anyone involved in this mission becoming a victim of a mishap
All controls are out
The controls have failed, leaving the situation entirely unmanageable
Meaningless to shout
Calling out for help is futile
Rushing through it all, makes you feel kind of small
Being amidst this vast universe and the chaos surrounding it makes one feel insignificant
Time is running short, loosing life support
The clock is ticking while the life-support system is failing
Lost in space
The capsule has lost its way and crew are floating aimlessly in space.
