Gravity
Kid Foguete Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Relax, give in
Feels like a dream
Slow down, feels good
We knew it would

There are things that we can't control
So sit back and just let it flow
Oh, gravity
You are my only certainty
So would you please not let me down
And keep my mind from floating 'round

Top of the cliff
Our fate we'll meet
Not yours, not mine
Love is our dive

I always wondered how
We could have worked things out
But now all we have is our fall

Oh, gravity
You are my only certainty
So would you please not let me down
And keep my mind from floating 'round

Oh, gravity
Would you please be kind with me
And remember when I fall




Just let me gently
Let me gently on the ground

Overall Meaning

The song "Gravity" by Kid Foguete is a slow-paced, introspective ballad that speaks of the inevitability of things beyond our control. The singer urges the listener to relax and let go of their worries as they face the unknown. The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh, gravity, you are my only certainty" which serves as a metaphor for the forces that govern our lives. The idea is that as life takes us on various ups and downs, gravity remains a constant force that keeps us tethered to reality. The song's message is one of acceptance, with the singer acknowledging that there are things beyond our control, and that sometimes the best we can do is simply surrender to the flow of the universe.


The lyric "Top of the cliff, our fate we'll meet, not yours not mine, love is our dive" is particularly meaningful, as it speaks to the idea that life is uncertain, and that we must face it together. The singer tells us that love is what gives us the strength to face our fate, and that we must trust in it to guide us. The metaphor of falling in love is used to illustrate the fact that sometimes we must take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out in the end.


Overall, "Gravity" is a song that encourages us to accept the things we cannot change, and to find peace in the knowledge that we are not alone in our struggles. It is a deeply introspective song that invites the listener to reflect on their own life and the role that gravity plays in it.

Me lembra Explosions in the sky pelas melodias e o vocalista RC tem um sotaque meio carioca mas o baixo e a sintonia dos outros instrumentos estão em harmonia, gostei nota 6
