Space Girl
Frances Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know the galaxies of my heart
Girl, are you a Cancer?
'Cause you make me cry
When we kiss or dance in the sky
We're dancing in the sky
Hm, my turn
Space girl, I wanna give you a ring
I'm spinnin' on Saturn when you call me your little human thing
Ooh, space girl, you know that I'll never leave ya
I'll stay glued stuck to you 'cause you know I'm a Libra
I wanna be your king
Or be your queen
Whatever you want
I'll be whatever you need
Girl, are you a Cancer?
'Cause you make me cry
When we kiss or dance in the sky (in the sky)
We're dancing in the sky (the sky)
I hope you play this song some day
And think of Earth girl who loves space girl
I hope you play this song some day
And think of Earth girl who loves space girl
I hope you play this song some day
In "Space Girl," Frances Forever sings about a love so intense and otherworldly that the only way to describe it is through celestial metaphors. The song begins with an entreaty directed at Space Girl, asking her to reveal the stars and the galaxies that are already embedded in her heart. Frances clearly feels a deep connection with this otherworldly being, who is the only one that can truly understand her.
However, despite the intense love that Frances feels, she also acknowledges how dangerous it is. She can't help but cry whenever they kiss or dance together in the sky, and she wonders if Space Girl is like a cancer that is consuming her. But even if Space Girl were to be sucked into a black hole, Frances would still dream about her.
The chorus is a repetition of the wish that Space Girl will one day play this song and remember the love that Earth Girl has for her. It's a poignant reminder that even though their love may not be able to exist in the physical world, the memory of it can persist through sound and song.
