Planet P Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What makes it fly
That can't be done
Power -- the boys got the right stuff
I see it in his eyes
He thinks it's fun
Power -- now be a good little man
Can you show me that again?
Power -- o.k. you win you can
But point it away
Don't get the boy mad
Oh we'll keep you
We'll be watching you
And we'll study you
And artie, oh we'll teach you
So you'll use it right
And you'll join the fight,
And artie, oh, we need you
When your country calls
And these hallowed halls are waiting
Oh, this is straight from the top
We'll never stop
We can't be stopped
With your power
We need your power
Power -- do you see these stones?
Can you make them burn from miles away?
Power -- no you can't go home
We know you'll learn to love this place
Oh we'll keep you
We'll be watching you
And we'll study you
And artie, oh we'll teach you
So you'll use it right
And you'll join the fight,
And artie, oh, we need you
When your country calls
And these hallowed halls are waiting
Oh, this is straight from the top
We'll never stop
We can't be stopped
With your power
We need your power
The Planet P Project's song "Power" explores the concept of power, its origins, and its potential consequences. The lyrics suggest that power is something that cannot be explained and that it has a mysterious force that enables it to function. The song addresses the issue that some people have access to power and others do not, and that those who do possess it have a responsibility to use it appropriately.
The initial lyrics of "Power" highlight the uncertainty surrounding power and what gives it its force. They compare power to flight and suggest that just like flight, power cannot be accomplished without certain capabilities or resources. Later, the lyrics refer to a boy with the "right stuff" and seemingly enjoy using his power. The lyrics indirectly address the potential dangers of manipulating power as well, warning the listeners not to become overzealous when using it.
The second half of the song is politically charged, suggesting that Artie, the singer, is being trained as a soldier. The lyrics urge Artie to use his power for the greater good of his country and society. The song seems to suggest that this is the primary reason for being given power; Artie's power shouldn't be taken lightly or squandered.
