Planets
Hi-5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Height is the one for me
It gives me all I need
And helps me co-exist with the chill

You make me sick because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play on me
Space dementia in your eyes
Peace will arise and tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

You'll make us want to die
I'd cut your name in my heart
We'll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to feel your pain

Space dementia in your eyes




Peace will arise and tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

Overall Meaning

The Hi-5 song "Planets" has a slightly haunting quality to it, with its lyrics and melody both playing up the space and ethereal theme to the song. The first verse is about the singer finding a sense of peace and co-existence with the world around them, specifically through height. This could be interpreted in multiple ways, but one possible interpretation is that the singer feels a sense of safety and distance from others when they're high up above them.


The second and third verses are where the song takes on a darker tone, as the singer seems to be addressing someone they're in a toxic and potentially abusive relationship with. They describe being addicted to the other person's manipulation and twisted games, to the point where it makes them sick. The chorus then takes on an even more ominous note, with the repeated refrain of "Space dementia in your eyes/Peace will arise and tear us apart/And make us meaningless again." The phrase "space dementia" seems to refer to a psychological breakdown or delusion caused by being out in space for too long, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's mental state being warped by their partner's manipulation.


Line by Line Meaning

Height is the one for me
I appreciate heights as it offers me a feeling of fulfillment


It gives me all I need
Being up high offers me all that is required to be happy at that point


And helps me co-exist with the chill
Being up high also helps me stay calm


You make me sick because I adore you so
I can't help but love and obsess over you, even though it may make me sick


I love all the dirty tricks
I am drawn to the deceitful and malicious activities you participate in


And twisted games you play on me
I am enticed by the corrupt and dishonest games you play with me


Space dementia in your eyes
You seem to have lost touch with reality and possess a perplexing look in your eyes


Peace will arise and tear us apart
Any hope for a conflict-free relationship will only drive us apart


And make us meaningless again
We will lose our purpose and significance, rendering our relationship empty


You'll make us want to die
Your actions and behavior may lead us to feel very hopeless and depressed


I'd cut your name in my heart
I am so infatuated with you that I'd carve your name into the depths of my heart


We'll destroy this world for you
I am willing to go to great lengths and even contribute to the destruction of the world for your sake


I know you want me to feel your pain
I am aware that you desire for me to feel the same pain and anguish that you may be going through


Space dementia in your eyes
Once again, you exhibit a state of detachment from reality and an unfathomable expression in your eyes


Peace will arise and tear us apart
The sense of tranquillity only serves to pull us further away from each other


And make us meaningless again
We will become aimless once more and our connection will lack purpose once more

George Jetson- “First comes Mercury so hot near the sun. Second is Venus it’s the very next one. Third is the Earth a lovely place to be. Then comes Mars it’s red as you can see! The fifth is Jupiter the biggest up in space. And if we went to Saturn we’d see rings around the place. Uranus is the seventh a long long way away and Neptune’s number eight the place it mostly stays! Pluto’s at the very end a frozen little dot but there’s no place like home, Earth’s my favourite spot!”

Outdated af. Pluto's no longer a planet unfortunately.

@Asukenick

The ending of the segment has Tim eating the biscuit which was Pluto and wondered if anyone would notice if it would be missing.
