Mission Control
Knox Hamilton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know what it takes
I'm motivated by your mixed up emotions
Got my statement and I'm reading you slow
So I can understand it fully, appreciate my standing though
Out of this world and right on time
Oh never in my life have I seen the sky light up like this
Mission Control, do you read me?
Send me my coordinates lately
Mission control, am I drifting?
Tie me to someone who will love me
Wait, I think I'll have to be longer
Find another reason to breathe this air
And now we made for ourselves
This won't be the last time
Oh never in my life have I seen the sky light up like this
I'm far away from Earth and I want to know if you exist
Mission control, do you read me?
Send me my coordinates lately
Mission control, am I drifting?
Tie me to someone who will love me
I knew it when I met you
I'm not the only one who's alone
Find me soon and take me home
I knew it when I saw you
I'm not the only one hanging on
Tie me to someone who will love me
Oh never in my life did I want to see you more than this
And every time you're lost, I wonder if you know you're missed?
I'm reading what I can and I really hope you're watching this
I hope you know that I exist
Mission control, do you read me?
Send me my coordinates lately
Mission control, am I drifting?
Tie me to someone who will love me
I knew it when I met you
I'm not the only one who's alone
Find me soon and take me home
I knew it when I saw you
I'm not the only one hanging on
Tie me to someone who will love me
Someone to beam me up
Someone to find my love
Someone to beam me up
Someone to beam me up
Someone to find my love
Someone to beam me up
Knox Hamilton's "Mission Control" is a song that speaks to the complexities of human emotions and the search for love and companionship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is lost in space and is reaching out to mission control for guidance, both in terms of physical coordinates and emotional grounding. The line "I never made it, but I know what it takes" suggests that the singer has faced failures in the past but is still motivated to find their way back to the right path. The song goes on to discuss the singer's loneliness and their desire for someone to love and connect with, epitomized in the repeated line "tie me to someone who will love me."
The song's chorus reiterates this theme of search and longing, as the singer implores mission control to "send me my coordinates lately" and "tie me to someone who will love me." The juxtaposition of these technical commands with the singer's emotional yearning for human connection underscores the song's central paradox, that no matter how technologically advanced and sophisticated our world becomes, we still crave and need interpersonal relationships and love.
