Dropline Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cannot depend on gravity
You are weightless everywhere
So why would it come back to me
To listen to me stare

So what are you afraid of
There's somethin' more
It's leaving you alone

There's somethin' more
There's somethin' more
There's somethin' more

I cannot believe the attitude
That we are simply all alone
So why would it come back to you
To listen to me moan

So what are you afraid of
There's somethin' more
It's leaving you alone
There's somethin' more
There's somethin' more
There's somethin' more

I was bored
I was feelin' uninspired
It caught me
But I am sure
That besides this metal plate
I'm still the same
Same!

And I resent the attitude
That we are simply all alone
Why would it come back to you
Listen to me moan

So what are you afraid of
There's somethin' more
It's leaving you alone
There's somethin' more
What are you afraid

It's leaving you alone
It's somethin' more
It's somethin' more

Yeah
La da dee di, dee di, dee di (6x)

Overall Meaning

In Dropline's Science Fiction, the singer expresses that he cannot rely on gravity, and that the person he's speaking to seems to be weightless everywhere, leaving him to stare in confusion. The singer then questions why the other person seems to be afraid, suggesting that there is something more than what they are expressing. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with a sense of detachment and loneliness, feeling uninspired and moaning about being alone. He resents an attitude that they are simply all alone in the world, stating that there must be something more to life than this. Despite this frustration and loneliness, the singer claims that he is still the same person he always was, even with the "metal plate."

The song seems to touch upon themes of isolation and uncertainty, with the singer expressing a sense of confusion and detachment from the world around him. He seems to be searching for something more, a deeper meaning or sense of purpose in an otherwise empty existence. The repetition of the line "There's somethin' more" suggests that this is both a question and a plea, as if the singer is reaching out for some kind of connection or understanding. The song's title, Science Fiction, also adds to this sense of detachment, hinting at an otherworldly or futuristic setting that perhaps exacerbates the sense of disconnection.
