Saturn
Matt Van Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the window of this satellite
But they don’t begin to compare
With the rings that line your eyes
Two radiant beams of light
To guide me through the night
Like a thousand forces
Pulling me into your atmosphere
Telling me what to do
Like a million miles of
Making my way through the galaxy
Because it seems the laws of gravity
Don’t apply to you and me
They don’t apply to you and me
The moons of Jupiter look wonderful tonight
Against the darkness of the sky
As the blue of Neptune
Glows in the iris of your eyes
Another universe inside
Expanding through my mind
Like a thousand forces
Pulling me into your atmosphere
Like a hundred voices
Telling me what to do
Like a million miles of
Making my way through the galaxy
Because it seems the laws of gravity
Don’t apply to you and me
Like a thousand forces
Pulling me into your atmosphere
Like a hundred voices
They’re telling me what to do
Like a million miles of
Making my way through the galaxy
Because it seems the laws of gravity
Don’t apply to you and me
They don’t apply to you and me
