I need a little understandin'
Don't feel at home on this planet (Earth)
But I'll be lookin' so candid
Yeah, still I'll look so candid
And yet another crash landin'
Straight back to Earth, I change my orbit now
People throwing stones but I'm building castles
Least I'm giving the people something to chat about
It's intergalactic I can see through the static
And we're breathing the fumes fill the oceans with plastic
Then we full up with junk food and ruin the classics
But look at me I'm just so fucking attractive
Said excuse me miss I gotta fly back home
I left my spaceship in a permit-only zone
And when I get lost I need to get away
And when I try to swerve I make the same mistakes
And yet another crash landin'
I need a little understandin'
Don't feel at home on this planet (Earth)
But I'll be lookin' so candid
Yeah, still I'll look so candid
Yeah
I can see purple from burgundy above my headlights
Straight from the pavement, I miss my friends I don't miss deadlines
On this occasion, I could just whisk you away
I called my station for help but they had nothin' to say
I said excuse me miss I gotta fly back home
I left my spaceship in a no-parking zone
And when I get lost I need to get away
And when I try to swerve I make the same mistake
And yet another crash landin'
I need a little understandin'
Don't feel at home on this planet (Earth)
But I'll be lookin' so candid
Yeah, still I'll look so candid
And I'm spaced out in the atmosphere
But she be unaware, like
She didn't even care, like
And I'm face-down in the atmosphere
But she be unaware, like
She's spinning on a chair like
Just another crash landin'
I need a little understandin', yeah
Don't feel at home on this planet, Earth (Earth)
And still, I'm lookin' so candid
Yeah, still I look so candid
The song Earth by the band Easy Life talks about the feeling of not belonging on this planet or feeling disconnected from one's surroundings. The opening line, "And yet another crash landin'" perhaps alludes to a feeling of disorientation or a sense of not fitting in. The chorus "Don't feel at home on this planet (Earth)/ But I'll be lookin' so candid/ Yeah, still I'll look so candid/ And yet another crash landin'," reiterates this sentiment. The singer doesn't feel like they belong but still appears confident and collected, even after another "crash landing."
The lyrics also seem to critique modern society's unsustainable practices. The line "And we're breathing the fumes fill the oceans with plastic/ Then we full up with junk food and ruin the classics" points at the mindless consumerism and disregard for the environment that has marred today's world. The song's refrain, "I left my spaceship in a permit-only zone/ And when I get lost, I need to get away/ And when I try to swerve, I make the same mistakes," suggests that despite being alienated from their surroundings, the singer is willing to keep trying to find a place where they can belong.
