Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was gonna be the end of us
I hold your hand, it’s my last stand
I’m hoping there’s magic in my touch
My fingers help you remember
When I run them through your hair
And I’m calling all the corners and I'm
Hoping I’m gonna get you there
I pulled you back
I held power
I never knew I had
I’m gonna use it
Never lose it
Never gonna let you feel this way again
'Cos if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
And if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
Oh, look in my eyes
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Oh, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Yeah all you need, is to believe
If you go through this all again
You'll never start recovering
Until you take it to the end
From the brink
I pulled you back
I held power
I never knew I had
I’m gonna use it
Never lose it
Never gonna let you feel this way again
'Cos if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
And if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
Oh, look in my eyes
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Oh, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Oh, look in my eyes
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Oh, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes now)
'Cos if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you (now)
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you
(Gonna carry you)
Back to earth
And if you’re scared
(If you're scared)
Just breathe the air
(Just breathe the air)
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
(Fire's for you)
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
And if you’re scared
(If you're scared)
Just breathe the air
(Just breathe the air)
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
(Yeah)
And if you’re tired

Back to earth
The lyrics of L.A. Tom's "Earth" carry a hopeful message of resilience and strength in the face of adversity. The singer seems to be in a difficult situation with their loved one, as it "looked like that was gonna be the end of us." However, they are not giving up and hold on to their loved one, hoping that there's "magic" in their touch that can bring them back from the brink. The singer invokes the elements of earth, air, fire, and water, promising that they will use their power to never let their loved one feel that way again. The chorus repeats the message of hope, urging the loved one to breathe, signaling that there is air to sustain them, and reminding them that fire is there for warmth. The water will carry them back to earth, perhaps symbolizing new beginnings and a fresh start.

And just like that, it looked like that
Was gonna be the end of us
Suddenly, things took a dire turn and it seemed like all hope was lost.
I hold your hand, it’s my last stand
I’m hoping there’s magic in my touch
I'm holding onto you with all my might, hoping against hope that my touch will somehow save us.
My fingers help you remember
When I run them through your hair
And I’m calling all the corners and I'm
Hoping I’m gonna get you there
As I stroke your hair, I'm trying to conjure up every ounce of magic I have to try and get us out of this dire situation.
From the brink
I pulled you back
I held power
I never knew I had
I’m gonna use it
Never lose it
Never gonna let you feel this way again
Despite everything seeming lost, I discovered some hidden power within me that allowed me to snatch us from the jaws of defeat. I vow to never forget or lose that power and to keep you safe from harm forevermore.
'Cos if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
I'm here for you if you're feeling scared, cold, or tired. Just breathe, let me know, and I'll do whatever it takes to bring you back down to earth and keep you safe.
Yeah all you need, is to believe
If you go through this all again
You'll never start recovering
Until you take it to the end
Believe in yourself, even if you have to go through tough times again. Don't forget that healing starts only when you see things through.
Oh, look in my eyes
Look in my, look in my eyes
(Look in my eyes)
Please, look into my eyes and see that I'm serious about keeping you safe and helping you through this tough time.
'Cos if you’re scared
Just breathe the air
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you (now)
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you
(Gonna carry you)
Back to earth
No matter what, just hold on and let me know when you need help. The elements themselves will help bring you back to earth and keep you safe.
And if you’re scared
(If you're scared)
Just breathe the air
(Just breathe the air)
And if you’re cold, let me know, this fire’s for you
(Fire's for you)
And if you’re tired
The water will carry you, carry you, carry you
Back to earth
Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help. Together, we can face any challenge and overcome any obstacle.

@SigCipher
Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are go, are you sure?
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort
The countdown starts
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom
The count goes on
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless
Calling calling home
Second stage is cut, we're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect, requested data
What will it effect, when all is done
Thinks Major Tom
Back at ground control, there is a problem
Go to rockets full, not responding
Hello Major Tom, are you receiving
Turn the thrusters on, we're standing by
There's no reply
4, 3, 2, 1
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating, weightless
Calling, calling, home
Across the stratosphere
A final message, "Give my wife my love"
Then nothing more
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They don't realize, he's alive
No one understands but Major Tom sees
Now the light commands, this is my home
I'm coming home
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless
Coming home
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless
Coming home
Earth below us
Drifting falling
Floating weightless
Coming coming home

@johnbanks8269
here in 2024 brother
@cmdrdisintegrationluke2316
I think the only reason this video doesn’t have more views is due to people likely not knowing the name of this song
@zoolkhan
the german original was more popular and up in the charts for an insane long time
@lummx
@@zoolkhan what is the name for the german version?
@electrogestapo
@@lummx Also Major Tom. Nothing much to translate with the title, major is also major in German.
