D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And he just disappeared
Like a flash in the night
When the dead are the feared
What a man, what a mind
He was all he could be
And he never see nothing
That's quite like me
Oh my meteor man...
Meteor man, meteor man...
I had the fire in my eyes
Meteor man, meteor man...
He was my meteor man
Meteor man, meteor man
There's no love in your soul
I have to let go
There was fire in his eyes
I was burnt by the flame
Like a tiger let loose
Satisfied to lay lame
He was power, he was strength
And he came down on me
And had never felt nothing
Quite so free
Oh my meteor man...
Meteor man, meteor man...
I had the fire in my eyes
Meteor man, meteor man...
He was my meteor man
Meteor man, meteor man
There's no love in your soul
I have to let go
Meteor man, meteor man...
When he disappeared
I had the tears in my eyes
Meteor man, meteor man...
Oh my meteor man...
Meteor man, meteor man...
I had the fire in my eyes
Meteor man, meteor man...
He was my meteor man
Meteor man, meteor man
There's no love in your soul
I have to let go
Meteor man, meteor man...
Oh when he came
And he said had never felt
Nothing like me
Nothing like me
Meteor man, meteor man
I had the tears in my eyes
When he flew from the sky
Meteor man, meteor man...
Oh my meteor man...
The lyrics to D's song "Meteor" speak of a mysterious figure known as the "meteor man." This man is described as having come and gone in a flash, disappearing like a flash of light in the nighttime sky. He was a powerful figure, full of strength and fire in his eyes. The singer of the song describes being burnt by this man's flame, much like a tiger would be satisfied after it has been let loose. The meteor man is alluring in his power, yet ultimately he is empty of love and the singer must let him go.
The song has a dream or fantasy-like quality to it, with the meteor man representing a force of nature that cannot be controlled or contained. The singer is drawn to him, but ultimately realizes that he is not capable of giving her what she needs in terms of emotional connection.
The concept of the meteor man could be interpreted in various ways, but it seems to represent a fleeting and exciting moment in time that cannot be sustained. The meteor man is a metaphor for intensity, power and transience.

And he came and he went
He arrived and left quickly
And he just disappeared
He vanished suddenly
Like a flash in the night
He disappeared quickly like a lightning bolt in the dark
When the dead are the feared
When the deceased are considered dangerous
What a man, what a mind
He was an impressive man with an exceptional mind
He was all he could be
He reached his maximum potential
And he never see nothing that's quite like me
He never met someone quite like me
Oh my meteor man...
Admiration for him
He was power, he was strength
He was full of power and strength
And he came down on me
He exerted his influence over me
And had never felt nothing quite so free
He had never felt so liberated
There was fire in his eyes
He had intense passion
I was burnt by the flame
His passion consumed me
Like a tiger let loose
He was powerful and unleashed like a wild animal
Satisfied to lay lame
He was content to stay dormant
Meteor man, meteor man...
Repeated admiration for him
There's no love in your soul
He lacked love in his soul
I have to let go
I need to move on
When he disappeared
When he vanished
I had the tears in my eyes
I cried
Oh when he came
When he arrived
And he said had never felt
He admitted that he had never experienced
Nothing like me
Anything similar to me
Meteor man, meteor man
Repeated admiration for him
When he flew from the sky
When he left abruptly
