Rockets
Kraan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe the rockets fly
No one told me where I have to run
Maybe the rockets fly
Hey, girl, that's just the way, girl
Come into my arms, when the rockets fly
Together we'll die
No believe in the words they say
As long as money rules
They wanna take that all the way
Good news, good news
For Fools
The Kraan song "Rockets" is a reflective piece on the uncertainties of life and the influence of external factors on one's destiny. The song opens up with the lyrics, "No one told me where I have to go, maybe the rockets fly, no one told me where I have to run, maybe the rockets fly." This signifies that life is unpredictable and one cannot determine their destination, just like a rocket that has a specific mission but cannot control the external factors that may affect its trajectory.
The chorus of the song is melancholic yet inviting, with the artist singing, "Hey, girl, that's just the way, girl, come into my arms when the rockets fly, together we'll die." This may indicate that the only certainty in life is death, but it is important to cherish the moments and be with someone you care about when the end draws near.
The last two lines of the song read, "No believe in the words they say, as long as money rules, they wanna take that all the way, good news, good news for fools." This could be interpreted as a commentary on how money and power controls the world, and how those without it are considered fools in the grand scheme of things. The song speaks to the human experience of trying to make sense of life's complexities and uncertainties, and encourages the listener to embrace life and appreciate the moments spent with loved ones.
