Mars
Mo.Bass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a few missed texts 'cause I don't reply
Shit, I fucked up, I won't bat an eye
But I really hate the way that I go about this
I wish I could be somewhere else
I'll take you anywhere else
We could slow down
Make or break when we're watching stars
We'll be better on Mars
Orbit is spinning
I can't see, the static blurring my vision
They're bringing us a new mission
To wipe the dust off our synergy
Rewriting history
Holding on 'till we're blistering
Heat it up like rotisserie
I'm in the cosmos
You're Wanda to my galaxy
Keep taking the long road
Feeling more than gravity
You're playing for combos
Dealing hook and jabbing me
I'll make it a song though
But I'm playing this too passively
Bitter face, cut knees, I mean
You got a rhythm even Stevie don't see (whatchu mean?)
You got me loving parts of you I can't read
Maybe in another world you'll take it easy on me (please?)
Syncopating the pattern
You keep throwing me off like I'm a comet from Saturn
Galileo got a blueprint to fix up the matter
But I-I think they're travel plans?
(Liftoff!)
We could slow down
Make or break when we're watching stars
So keep your toes down
We'll be better on Mars
We could slow down (we could slow down, yeah)
Make or break when we're watching stars (when we're watching stars)
So keep your toes down
We'll be better on Mars
In the song "Mars" by Mo.Bass, the lyricist talks about their disappointment in themselves for their inability to communicate effectively with others. The opening lines express their confusion and disinterest in small talk and social norms such as responding to texts. They acknowledge their mistakes without openly admitting guilt or regret. The lyricist wishes to be somewhere else, expresses the desire to slow down, and go stargazing with the person they address. Mars is suggested as a means of escape from the mundane aspects of life. The orbit is spinning, the communication lines are fuzzy, yet there is a chance to rekindle synergy and rewrite their story.
The theme of the song is about the disappointment in oneself and the longing for a better world. Instead of being present in the current moment, the lyricist wants to escape to a different planet. They may also be longing for a more profound connection with the person they are addressing, as their relationship is ambiguous at best. The chorus emphasizes the notion of escaping to a different planet, implying that they want to shed the weight of their current problems.

Cheesecake and chit-chat, never really got that
I don't understand the appeal of small talk and casual interactions
Got a few missed texts 'cause I don't reply
I often ignore messages on my phone
Shit, I fucked up, I won't bat an eye
I made a mistake but I won't show any emotion
But I really hate the way that I go about this
I'm unhappy with how I handle things
I wish I could be somewhere else
I want to escape my current situation
I'll take you anywhere else
I'll take you away with me
We could slow down
Let's take it easy
Make or break when we're watching stars
We can decide our fate while stargazing
So keep your toes down
Stay grounded
We'll be better on Mars
Things will be better if we leave this planet
Orbit is spinning
We're in motion around something
I can't see, the static blurring my vision
I can't see clearly due to interference
They're bringing us a new mission
Someone has given us a new task to do
To wipe the dust off our synergy
To improve our teamwork and cooperation
Rewriting history
We're making changes to the past
Holding on 'till we're blistering
We're holding on tight until we can't anymore
Heat it up like rotisserie
We're making things hot, like a rotisserie oven
I'm in the cosmos
I'm immersed in the universe
You're Wanda to my galaxy
You're a significant part of my world
Keep taking the long road
Keep going the hard way
Feeling more than gravity
Feeling an intense connection
You're playing for combos
You're trying to achieve something big
Dealing hook and jabbing me
Hitting me with strong moves
I'll make it a song though
I'll turn this experience into a piece of art
But I'm playing this too passively
But I'm not being active enough in this situation
Bitter face, cut knees, I mean
I'm hurting and it shows
You got a rhythm even Stevie don't see (whatchu mean?)
You have a unique way of doing things
You got me loving parts of you I can't read
You have qualities that I find intriguing
Maybe in another world you'll take it easy on me (please?)
Maybe in another reality things will be easier for us
Syncopating the pattern
Creating a unique rhythm
You keep throwing me off like I'm a comet from Saturn
You're constantly surprising me
Galileo got a blueprint to fix up the matter
There's a solution to our problems
But I-I think they're travel plans?
I'm not sure how this plan will work
We could slow down (we could slow down, yeah)
We can take our time
Make or break when we're watching stars (when we're watching stars)
We can make important decisions while admiring the night sky
So keep your toes down
Stay grounded
We'll be better on Mars
Things will be better if we leave this planet
