We Didn't Make It To the Moon
Milky Chance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're tellin' me the world
Does not even spin around?
You're tryna say the car we're sittin' in
Don't belong to gravity?

You keep sayin' I don't care
'Cause I won't join you goin' there
So I go flex like it's better than there
Both of us human in a way
We're good and bad within a day
Is there nothin' but to carry on?

We didn't make it to the moon
It doesn't matter if it's true
Darling, it's always me and you
It's still a Friday afternoon
Don't have to make it to the moon

Paper planes takin' flight
But don't you like that mystery?
Fireflies a thousand times
How could we misjudge a thing?

You keep sayin' I don't care
'Cause I won't join you goin' there
So I go flex like it's better than there
And we're just human in a way
We're good and bad within a day
Is there nothin' but to carry on?

We didn't make it to the moon
It doesn't matter if it's true
Darling, it's always me and you
It's still a Friday afternoon
Don't have to make it to the moon
We didn't make it to the moon

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

We didn't make it to the moon (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
It doesn't matter if it's true (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Darling, it's always me and you (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)




It's still a Friday afternoon (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Don't have to make it to the moon (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Milky Chance's song "We Didn't Make It To the Moon" reflect a conversation or argument between two individuals about the state of the world and their place in it. The singer questions the other person's belief that the world doesn't revolve around them and that they are not bound by the laws of gravity. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for egocentrism or a sense of entitlement, with the singer challenging the other person's self-absorbed perspective.


The singer also expresses their refusal to conform to the other person's expectations and their insistence on being true to themselves. They emphasize that they won't go along with the other person's plans just to please them or to fit into their version of reality. The line "So I go flex like it's better than there" suggests that they would rather flaunt their authenticity and individuality than compromise their true identity.

I think this song is amazing , it reminds me of how people try to always go for better things and move on and on and on so what sometimes we don’t reach the moon ( our goals) so what it’s still a lovely Friday afternoon ( still alive and it’s okay to reach for the goals another day? ! LIVE THE MOMENT
