For You
Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you say is what you get
Keeps repeating through your head
This has now become your life
Turned away from advice
Tired it tells, shame I noticed
You feel fine but you're losing focus
Losing focus
This song is for you
Because you work so hard
When the day is done
We'll have some fun
This song is for you

You sacrifice and push aside
Take adversity in stride
On the mark everytime
Givin 'er hell, ain't no crime
Doing well, now I noticed
Strength of mind, you stay focused
You stay focused

This song is for you
Because you work so hard
When the day is done
We'll have some fun
This song is for you





This song is for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Planet's song For You describe a person who has become completely consumed by their work and ambitions, to the point where it has become their entire life.

The singer notices that this person has become tired and is losing focus, and is perhaps in need of some sort of reminder of what really matters in life.


Despite this, the singer also acknowledges the person's hard work and determination, and dedicates the song to them as a sort of tribute. They recognize the sacrifices made and adversity faced, but also suggest that there is still room for some fun and enjoyment in life outside of work. The repeated refrain of "this song is for you" highlights the appreciation and admiration the singer has for this person's tireless efforts.


Overall, the lyrics of For You offer a somewhat bittersweet reflection on the pressures and rewards of a driven and ambitious lifestyle. While acknowledging the costs of such a lifestyle, the song ultimately celebrates the perseverance and dedication of those who pursue it.

A different scientific vibe to the outro, Love it.

"Wondered why
You caught my eye
Now I don't wonder why
No, I know all my love's for you
If you want to fly
Let's circle 'round the sky
Until we land upon Planet U
(My, my, my, my, my)
Wondered why
You caught my eye
(My eye, my eye)
Now I don't wonder why
No, I know all
My love's for you
(All my love's for
You, you, you, you, you)
If you want to fly
Let's circle 'round the sky
Until we land upon Planet U."

She SNAPPED

Yeah, you make my
Heart go pitter-pat
You coulda been a dog
But you'd rather be a god
And that's why I still
Award you the kitty cat
Not sure where you come from
Maybe the moon was
Your womb and Spock was your doc
Your pops a vacuum filled-up
With the dust of trillions of stars
That dim next to you
Lover, where did you come from?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
I wanna go to the
Planet from where you landed



@nauki.e

I wondered why you
Caught my eye
Got you on my mind
More than half the time
But I like it there,
And they disappear
Such a worthy muse,
Otherworldly dude, yeah

Lover, where did
You come from?
I wanna go to the
Planet from where you landed
Lover, where did
You come from?
(Where did, where did, where did)
I wanna go to the
Planet from where you landed
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Whenever you're gone,
Boy, you get right back
Never feel long 'cause
I'm gettin to the stacks
Always been grown,
Boys set my grind back
And I'm on the block
But I don't sling crack
A gun goes off and
I'm burning up the track
Gimme my space,
Swear you so intergalac-tic
Like Bic, you be turnin'
Me to wax
Bitches ain't shit,
Still throwing you the cat

You be on your Jerry shit,
I'm very into that
Smile in my face
You reply blap-blap
Your cloth high grade,
They be wantin' loose scraps
Got gold on ya lips
From the gold in my lap
Then I take ya wood
Like a baseball bat
Still so good,
Ma recipe from scratch
Speak so lewd when
You got me on my back
But I speak so sweet
On the street, you like that, yeah

I see, never had no queen like me
Flawless when my face not beat
And I also made this beat, yeah
And it's true, never
Had no King like you
High stakes and you
Stay so cool
Your gold heart
Keep away my blue
From the same city,
Different side of the tracks

Yeah, you make my
Heart go pitter-pat
You coulda been a dog
But you'd rather be a god
And that's why I still
Award you the kitty cat
Not sure where you come from
Maybe the moon was
Your womb and Spock was your doc
Your pops a vacuum filled-up
With the dust of trillions of stars
That dim next to you

Lover, where did you come from?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
I wanna go to the
Planet from where you landed
(I gotta go, I gotta go)
Lover, where did you come from?
(So baby, tell me, where did, where did)
I wanna go to the planet
From where you landed

Wondered why
You caught my eye
Now I don't wonder why
No, I know all my love's for you
If you want to fly
Let's circle 'round the sky
Until we land upon Planet U
(My, my, my, my, my)

Wondered why
You caught my eye
(My eye, my eye)
Now I don't wonder why
No, I know all
My love's for you
(All my love's for
You, you, you, you, you)
If you want to fly
Let's circle 'round the sky
Until we land upon Planet U
