Astronaut
Emezie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody knew her name
Not too pretty, not too plain
Suttle beauty was her game
This girl who never dared complain
The way she stared out into space
The look she had upon her face
As if she had a dream to chase
A delicate being
Dressed up in pink
And blue
...
A feeling so strong
I wonder what's wrong
With you
I asked her what she dreamed the most
To be a lawyer, doctor, teacher, coach
An astronaut, a game show host
First female president, rock the vote
She said
None of those are what I need
The things I seek are within me
Somethin's comin, can't you see
A way for love 'cause I believe
A feeling so strong
Couldn't be wrong
She said
A look of such longing
A wish of belonging
Somewhere
I'm waiting for my prince (Someone to hug and kiss)
An angel from above (He'll shower me with love)
The song "Astronaut" by Emezie is a musing on the dreams and desires of a girl who is described as subtle, neither too pretty nor too plain. Despite this apparent unremarkableness, the girl's stare into space and the look upon her face suggest a dream to chase, and an urgency in her pursuit of it. The lyrics suggest that this girl is not concerned with the usual career choices of a young person, but seeks something greater within herself, and in the world around her. The song seems to be about the potential of anyone, even someone who may not feel extraordinary or be pursuing a conventional path, to achieve something great.
The girl's response to the question of what she dreams of the most, that none of the usual aspirations are what she needs, and that something is coming, suggests a belief in the power of love, and that she believes that there is something waiting for her, whether it is a prince to give her love and belonging or some other form of fulfillment. The lyrics suggest that the singer is impressed by the strength of the girl's inner signals and the force of her desires, and wonders why she is not pursuing a conventional career.
In conclusion, "Astronaut" is a song about the power of dreams and the pursuit of individual fulfillment, even in the face of societal expectations. It encourages young people to question the usual measures of success and think creatively about their place in the world.
