Saturn Boy
Dream Koala Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look at the stars at night
And I wonder if there is a God?
If we are alone in the Universe
If you hear me, take me away
'Cause this place is not made for me
Time burning the trees,
Killing a mother
So far from home
Million miles away
Can you hear me calling? Hear my voice?
So far from home
Galaxies away
I feel your call, I hear your voice!

It scares me to think of tomorrow,
Future, what's waiting for us?!
If there is a God in the Universe?
If you hear me, take me away
'Cause my soul is not made for this
Time is blood on the lips,
Houses on fire

So far from home
Million miles away
Can you hear me calling? Hear my voice?
So far from home
Galaxies away
I feel your call, I hear your voice!
So far from home
Million miles away
Can you hear me calling?
Hear my voice?
So far from home




Galaxies away
I feel your call, I hear your voice!

Overall Meaning

In Dream Koala's song Saturn Boy, the songwriter expresses his feelings of immense isolation and disconnection from the world. He looks up at the stars and wonders if there is a God and whether humans are alone in the vast universe. The song reflects the existentialist thoughts of the songwriter with a yearning to be taken away from this place that doesn't seem to be meant for them. The lyrics emphasize the point that the songwriter is not comfortable in this world, with time burning the trees and killing a mother, referencing the destruction of nature and the world itself. The use of galactic and astrological imagery such as being "million miles away" and "galaxies away" adds to the feeling of detachment and otherworldliness that the songwriter is trying to convey.


The melancholic tone of the song is enhanced by the artist's hauntingly beautiful vocal delivery, giving the listener a sense of the songwriter's deep sense of isolation and frustration. Dream Koala’s use of the recurring phrase "so far from home" and the reference to wanting to be taken away emphasizes the song's theme of wanting to escape, creating a relatable feeling for many listeners who may also feel like they don't belong in this world. The songwriter's plea to someone, maybe God, to take him away is a powerful message that reaches many and conveys the deep-seated existentialist thoughts that humans experience.
