Falling Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bright lights turned somehow
The strength I have is running out
The current pulls me down
I'm wondering, is anybody out there
Who's cold and incomplete?
Inside I can hear Him calling
If twilight turns to day
With all Your love displayed
The stars, they bow in awe
When the lost return to You
I'm wondering is anybody out there
Who's cold and incomplete?
Inside I can hear Him calling
?Come and follow me, my child?
Draws up my heart
Deep from the well, deep from the well
I know He is finding
Every lost and broken dream
Is anybody out there
Who's cold and incomplete?
Inside I can hear Him calling
?Come and follow me, my child?
Is anybody out there
Who's cold and incomplete?
Inside I can hear Him calling
?Come and follow me, my child?

The singer feels drained of strength and at the mercy of a current drawing them down. They wonder if anyone else out there, feeling incomplete and lost as they do, hears the same call to follow the singer's "Him" - likely a reference to God or a higher power.
As the lyrics continue, hope enters with the idea that the twilight may turn into day and the stars will bow in awe as the lost are welcomed back into the fold. The singer draws strength "from the well" that they believe their faith taps into, feeling reassured that all lost and broken dreams will be found and healed.
Overall, the lyrics of "Good Morning Planetarium" express a feeling of searching for something greater than oneself, something that can fill the void of incompleteness and provide a sense of purpose and belonging. Through faith and the belief in something beyond the self, the singer finds hope in their struggle.
