MARS
Effi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake me up I'm still asleep
Take the blanket off my feet
Strap on fast shoes we should run
Before the day has passed and gone
And if the sky is painted grey
And morning seems to fade away
Then collect sunrays in rain
Left by love to shine again
Shine for you then shine for me

And if your doubts are screaming out
Turn your ears off block em out
Cause soon it will be quiet enough
To hear sweet nothings changing fuzz
Predicting burn out of black clouds
Predicting time gets booted out
While constant morning's filled with sun

Too many pictures, painted black,
Without remorse do fill our bags.
We do spy and we do cry,
We should sing and we should die
As long as moments taken still
By profiling gaps to fill,
Another answer's giving late,
Leaving time to speculate
If a reason could be found
Then in existence's biggest town,
There'll be change of company
In the bed of misery
Where I wake up to fall asleep

I think I'm on my way to mars
To shine through stormy weather




I keep on undergoing the past
And I hope to shine forever again

The song "Mars" by Effi is a reflective piece that deals with the themes of uncertainty, self-discovery, and the struggle to overcome obstacles. The lyrics of the song indicate a desire for change and a yearning for something greater beyond one's current reality. The lyrics "Wake me up I'm still asleep, take the blanket off my feet, strap on fast shoes we should run before the day has passed and gone" signals an individual who has been asleep and is suddenly awakened to the realization that there is much they need to do before time passes them by.


Effi's "Mars" lyrics also suggest that the struggles of life should not make us lose hope or fall into despair. Even when faced with doubts or when the sky is painted gray and everything seems bleak, there are still moments of sunshine, and love can leave rays of hope for us to find. Through the lyrics "And if your doubts are screaming out, turn your ears off block em out, cause soon it will be quiet enough to hear sweet nothings changing fuzz" the song encourages listeners to keep pushing forward and to not give up, for transformation can occur anytime soon.


The song's chorus "I think I'm on my way to Mars, to shine through stormy weather, I keep on undergoing the past, and I hope to shine forever again" is a call to action, a beacon of hope for all those who may have lost their way or are facing challenges. It's a reminder that there is always a way to find light in the midst of darkness, and hope amidst despair.


Line by Line Meaning

Wake me up I'm still asleep
I need a nudge to start living instead of just going through the motions


Take the blanket off my feet
I need to become more active and engaged in life


Strap on fast shoes we should run
Let's make the most of our time and not waste a single moment


Before the day has passed and gone
We need to seize the day before it's too late


And if the sky is painted grey
Even if things seem bleak and hopeless


And morning seems to fade away
When each day starts off dreary and uninspired


Then collect sunrays in rain
We need to find beauty in life's struggles


Left by love to shine again
Love can help us find hope again


Shine for you then shine for me
Let's support each other and be there for each other


And if your doubts are screaming out
When we feel overwhelmed by doubts and fears


Turn your ears off block em out
We need to tune out negativity and focus on the positive


Cause soon it will be quiet enough
Eventually, the chaos and noise will fade away


To hear sweet nothings changing fuzz
We'll be able to find comfort in the simple things in life


Predicting burn out of black clouds
The storm will eventually pass


Predicting time gets booted out
Eventually, things will start to fall into place on their own


While constant morning's filled with sun
After the storm, there will be a bright new day


Too many pictures, painted black,
We can get bogged down by negative thoughts and memories


Without remorse do fill our bags.
These things can weigh us down and prevent us from moving forward


We do spy and we do cry,
It's easy to get caught up in negativity and sadness


We should sing and we should die
We should focus instead on enjoying life and living it to the fullest


As long as moments taken still
We should cherish every moment and live in the present


By profiling gaps to fill,
Finding ways to better ourselves and our lives


Another answer's giving late,
It's never too late to change our lives for the better


Leaving time to speculate
We should reflect on our lives and find ways to improve


If a reason could be found
We should search for meaning and purpose in our lives


Then in existence's biggest town,
When we find our purpose, we'll be able to truly live


There'll be change of company
We'll gravitate towards others who share our values and beliefs


In the bed of misery
When we're feeling down and out


Where I wake up to fall asleep
We need to break out of negative cycles and start living our lives


I think I'm on my way to mars
I'm starting to see the beauty of life and the world around me


To shine through stormy weather
I'm learning to be resilient and find hope in tough times


I keep on undergoing the past
I'm still dealing with past traumas and struggles


And I hope to shine forever again
But despite everything, I remain hopeful and optimistic about the future
