Space Jam
Orion Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wear michael jordans
I can′t afford them
I got dreams of paris
I'd love to share them
I wanna go real far
Like really really far
Like not on the earth no more
Not on the earth no more

I park my car up on lemon hill
I think i i i like you still
All my problems just fade away
I don′t think i'm in denial anyway
I think you're like a shooting star
I feel like i′m trapped on mars
I never know what to say to you
*Huh? what? hello?*
I′m at the 7-Eleven
Buying dutches and a beverage
If you need it come and get it
You got my heart but it's leverage
Don′t forget it
Or you'll miss out on blessings
And you′ll be a witness to my evanescence
And my presence won't be in your present
And how you acting is adolescent
We need to get it together we used to be so luminescent
Now it′s so fucking depressing

You wear michael jordans
I can't afford them
I got dreams of paris
I'd love to share them
I wanna go real far
Like really really far
Like not on the earth no
Like like like not on the earth no more

I never wanted
All this to happen
Oh why you actin plastic?
I need you
We were fantastic
Now we just tragic
Yeah come right back elastic
I need you
I need you
(I need you)

(Mhm yeah) (mhm yeah)
(Mhm yeah) (mhm yeah)
(Mhm yeah) (mhm yeah)

You wear michael jor–
You you you wear michael jordans
I i i can′t win

I i i can′t win
I'd love to share them

Overall Meaning

The song "Space Jam" by Orion Sun is a poignant reflection on the longing for something beyond oneself. The opening stanza juxtaposes the singer's aspirations of distant destinations with a sense of inadequacy in their present situation. The reference to Michael Jordans, a symbol of success and excellence, stands in contrast to the admission of financial limitations. The desire to go "real far" becomes a metaphor for a search for self-actualization and a life beyond the mundane. The repetition of the phrase "not on the earth no more" emphasizes the singer's yearning for transcendence, both figuratively and literally.


The following stanza switches to a more personal reflection on the singer's relationship. The image of Lemon Hill, a park in Philadelphia, serves as a backdrop to the singer's introspection. The line "I think I like you still" suggests an unresolved emotional conflict, while the reference to being "trapped on mars" alludes to the feeling of alienation and uncertainty. The communication breakdown with the other person is captured in the disjointed dialogue and the sense of being lost for words. The reference to buying dutches, a type of cigar commonly used for smoking cannabis, adds to the sense of escapism and implies a temporary relief from the anxieties.


The chorus repeats the first stanza with slight variations, underlining the song's central theme of longing and inadequacy. The bridge brings back the personal reflection, repeating the line "I need you" as a plea for connection and security. The imagery of "come right back elastic" suggests a desire to bridge the distance and repair the relationship. The final repetition of the chorus ends the song on an unresolved note, reinforcing the singer's sense of yearning and unfulfillment.
