Ballad
Fu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They got long hair and they wanna fly
Space the final frontier
Space I wanna be here
If they don't have the glory of a war
It's just because they don't believe in war
We got the space that's the final frontier
Space I wanna be here
It sounds like a sound of a song that we can sing!
Down thru the space we swim on a dream
It sounds like a sound of a song that we can sing!
The lyrics of Fu's song "Ballad" seem to touch on themes of exploration, freedom, and the rejection of violence. The opening lines suggest a desire to traverse the vastness of the universe, perhaps symbolizing a longing for new experiences and a sense of liberation. The mention of long hair and a desire to fly may also evoke a hippie-like spirit of counterculture and breaking away from conventional societal norms.
The reference to space being the final frontier reflects the idea that space exploration represents the ultimate frontier for humanity to conquer. It could also serve as a metaphor for personal growth and pushing boundaries. The following lines express a rejection of war and explain that those who do not have the glory of war simply do not believe in it. This can be interpreted as a critique of the glorification of conflict and an endorsement of peaceful alternatives.
The repetition of "Space I wanna be here" reinforces the longing to be part of this vast and unexplored frontier. The final lines speak of swimming through space on a dream, suggesting that the pursuit of these aspirations can become a reality, and that they hold a powerful and harmonious sound that can be shared through singing.
Overall, "Ballad" appears to be a song that celebrates the spirit of exploration, advocates for peace, and encourages listeners to pursue their dreams without resorting to violence.
