Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Plastic Tree's song "Planetarium" are reflective and melancholic, exploring themes of loneliness and vulnerability. The opening lines describe a pain that is locked inside the singer, which they have sealed away. The singer hears a voice whispering above them in the night sky, but it seems to be out of reach. Looking up, the singer sees shooting stars polishing the darkness before them. It dawns on them that the reason they cry is at last understood.


The second verse echoes the first, with the singer asking where they can go when they have nothing left. They find themselves drowning in tears that don't seem to stop. The chorus repeats the theme of being locked up, with the singer acknowledging the beauty of memories, even as they hurt like no other pain. The song's final line is a repetition of the opening question, asking what the singer must lock away to protect themselves forever.


Overall, the song paints a poignant picture through its introspective and often sad lyrics. The singer ponders the meaning of their tears and the beauty of memories, all while feeling trapped and alone.
