The duo finished their high school education at Jacob-Grimm Schule. Clemens played in a jazz quartet known as Flown Tones where he played bass guitar. Philipp was a DJ.
Their first single 'Stolen Dance' was released in 2012, topping the charts in countries including Austria, France, Hungary and Switzerland.
In 2013, they released their self-produced album 'Sadnecessary' that was well received, that included the tracks 'Stolen Dance' and 'Down by the River'. The album peaked at number 14 in Germany, and charted at 17 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The band released their second album 'Blossom' on 17 March 2017. Blossom was inspired by the experience Clemens and Philipp had in the last two years and the two different worlds they've jumped into: touring and being home in their private life with family and friends. Lead by the single 'Cocoon', the album also includes 'Bad Things' featuring Izzy Bizu.
In May 2019 the band announced they were producing their third album, which would be titled 'Mind the Moon', recording it at Ocean Sound Recordings in Ålesund, Norway. Three songs from the album, 'Daydreaming' (feat. Tash Sultana), 'The Game' and 'Fado' were released in the months leading up to the album release on 15 November 2019.
We Didn't Make It To the Moon
Milky Chance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
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.

You're tellin' me the world
You are trying to convince me that the world
Does not even spin around?
Doesn't even rotate?
You're tryna say the car we're sittin' in
You're attempting to suggest that the car we are sitting in
Don't belong to gravity?
Doesn't adhere to the force of gravity?
You keep sayin' I don't care
You repeatedly claim that I am indifferent
'Cause I won't join you goin' there
Because I refuse to accompany you to that place
So I go flex like it's better than there
So I boast as if it is superior to be elsewhere
Both of us human in a way
Both of us are humans to some extent
We're good and bad within a day
We possess both goodness and badness within a single day

Is there nothing else to do except continue?
We didn't make it to the moon
We were unsuccessful in reaching the moon
It doesn't matter if it's true
The truth of the matter is inconsequential
Darling, it's always me and you
Sweetheart, it will always be you and me
It's still a Friday afternoon
Nevertheless, it is still a Friday afternoon
Don't have to make it to the moon
We don't need to reach the moon
Paper planes takin' flight
Paper airplanes soaring
But don't you like that mystery?
But don't you enjoy that sense of unknown?
Fireflies a thousand times
Fireflies numerous times
How could we misjudge a thing?
How did we miscalculate something?
