Rosetta
Marina P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mission control at the closest approach
Mission control at the closest approach
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Sounds that sound loud and clear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Creepy sounds that I fear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Sounds that sound loud and clear

Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Spooky sounds that I fear
It's like she's brushing her teeth
in the magnetic fields
It's like she's washing her theet
is the sound of the touchdown that we can hear
She got sensors in her feet
is this just a gimmic is this just a trick
She got sensors in her feet
But there are lots of unknown here
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Sounds that sound loud and clear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Creepy sounds that I fear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Sounds that sound loud and clear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Spooky sounds that I fear
Farewell to the close flyby
Farewell to the close flyby
I was you, flying through the darkness and the wonder of space
You came into my life filling my mind with your burdensome grace
now sleep well you deserve it
It's the end of the carrousel
Farewell to your comete footsteps
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Sounds that sound loud and clear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Creepy sounds that I fear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Sounds that sound loud and clear
Strange sounds recorded by Rosetta
Spooky sounds that I fear

Mission control at the closest approach
Mission control at the closest approach

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Marina P's song "Rosetta" describe the sounds recorded by the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft during its mission to land on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The "strange sounds" referred to in the song are actual recordings made by the spacecraft, which were released by the ESA in 2015. As Marina P sings, these sounds are both "loud and clear" and "creepy" or "spooky," adding to the sense of mystery and wonder surrounding the mission.

The lyrics also touch on some of the scientific aspects of the mission, such as the fact that Rosetta had sensors in its "feet" to help it land on the comet's surface. The chorus of "Mission control at the closest approach" highlights the critical role that human ingenuity played in the success of the mission, while the lines "farewell to the close flyby" and "farewell to your comete footsteps" mark the end of the spacecraft's active mission.

Overall, the lyrics to "Rosetta" capture the awe-inspiring nature of scientific exploration and the sense of adventure that comes with pushing the boundaries of what we know.
