Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And there ain't no night
And there ain't no night
Did you hear what I said?
The big white

The big white

The big white

The big white

And there ain't no day
And there ain't no day
And there ain't no night
And there ain't no night
And there ain't no day
And there ain't no night

Into the white
Into the white
Into the white

Did you hear what I said?
Did you hear what I said?
Deeper than your sleepy head
Deeper than your sleepy head
Ain't nothing to see
Ain't nothing in sight

Into the white
Into the white
Into the white

Go and you go real far
Go and you go real far
Just past the big Quasar
Just past the big Quasar
Can't hitch a meteorite
Can't hitch a meteorite

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Into the white

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Pixies" by Into the White are abstract and can be interpreted in a number of different ways. One possible interpretation is that the song is about the vastness and emptiness of space. The repeated lines "And there ain't no night, And there ain't no day" suggest a sense of timelessness and eternal emptiness. The phrase "Into the white" could be referring to the infinite expanse of space.

The line "Deeper than your sleepy head" could be referencing the limited perception of the human mind, which is unable to fully comprehend the scale and complexity of the universe. The mention of a "big Quasar" and a meteorite further emphasize the theme of space and exploration. The lyric "Ain't nothing to see, Ain't nothing in sight" could be interpreted as a warning that the vastness of space may be full of limitless possibilities, but ultimately, there is nothing tangible to be found.

Overall, the song seems to be an invitation to explore the unknown and push the boundaries of human understanding. It may be a metaphor for taking risks and venturing out into the great unknown, whether that be in physical or mental pursuits.
