Galaxy
Julia Westlin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the way you do it like you do
No one else can break on through
break it up the way you do
i want to ask you how it feels
want you to tell me how it feels
I want to smile the way you do
We are, to far away
we are, to far away
we are, to far away
from the way we used to be
We are, to far away
we are, to far away
we are, to far away
from the way we used to be
I want to loose the fear i wear
stop to loose myself and dare
I never been that kind who pray
ask for things i can not pay
What i want is what is real, i want, to make you feel
want you to tell me what you feel
want you to tell me something real
We are to far away from what we used to be
We are to far away from what we used to be
madness
giving nothing in return, just keep on burn it
ignorance to learn, so this world ends
giving nothing in return, just keep on burn it down
we loose the words we say
it doesnt matter anyway
we loose the words we say
it doesnt matter anyway
we loose the words we say
it doesnt matter anyway
we loose the world today
it doesnt matter anyway
The lyrics to Julia Westlin's song "Galaxy" describe an individual's desire to connect with someone else on a deeper, more meaningful level. The first stanza expresses a desire to emulate the other person's lightheartedness and carefree attitude, particularly in the way they laugh and smile. The repetition of "the way you do" highlights the singer's admiration for this person's unique qualities that they struggle to replicate. In the second stanza, the singer expresses a wish to shed their own inhibitions and fears and become more vulnerable in their interactions with others. By doing so, they hope to form more authentic connections with others and understand what others truly feel.
The chorus expresses a sense of distance between the singer and the other person or people they're referring to. The repetition of "we are, too far away from the way we used to be" suggests that there was once a closer connection, but it has somehow been lost or dissolved. This could be interpreted as a metaphorical distance or a physical one, but whatever the case may be, the loss has left the singer feeling unfulfilled.

I feel like a time traveler this evening, as YouTube has done me the favor of recommending a couple of songs of yours from the past which I had not previously heard. I can tell that you had begun to master early on, the art of harmonizing and layering elements of music together.
I like the video effect here, which gives the impression that one is watching something recorded on older film, and I love the little jumps and the fun dancing that you do in parts of this video! I can tell that you were having fun while you were recording this one! 😋😄
2:34 to 3:28 is especially beautiful musically, with some amazing sunset footage.
Listening to this song and your behind-the-scenes comments at the end of the video, it's astonishing that all of this comes from essentially a synthesizer, your voice, and some editing software.
A musician's soul is transcribed synthetically and electronically, but yet conveys the feeling and the meaning so organically and so well.
I guess it doesn't hurt that the Universe itself speaks its words through music, and speaks those words most fluently through artists such as yourself, as it gives us additional tools and technology over time to make it easier to do so -- but it's still an amazing thing to witness.
Whether it was just a random Youtube algorithm, or the Universe itself deciding it was time for me to finally hear these songs, seven years after they were actually recorded -- I give my thanks. 🙏🙂🤍

Gotta say Julia, your original songs are blowing me away. I've never heard songs like that, your style is so unique! Also I really like how they're all so different from each other, I think it's awesome that you don't stick to a particular sound but always try to experiment new things. Also, you have my deepest respect for making this stuff by yourself! I've been messing around creating some original instrumental songs myself, so I definitely know how hard it is! Keep being awesome! :)

Wow, simply amazing. Possibly your best song yet, and so uniquely Julia Westlin. I'm sure one day you will get snapped up by some big record company but for now your my undiscovered pleasure. I love all the quirky noises in this one and the whispery vocals. Can't wait to see how you can top this one!
