UNIVERSE
Punchline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been floating in the night sky
On a ship that's stuck on standby
Your voice reminds me I'm real

I made a choice and now I wait here
Orbiting the earth for five long years
Our lives like magnetic fields
You are my universe
You are my universe
And I'm just a planet
And I can't stand it

My only link left to human kind
Is the only one that I want on the land line
Calling mission control
What if this is a black hole?

Do you think we'll ever meet and would it change everything?
When she asks me how far we can take it
I tell her we can take it across the entire

Universe

You are my universe
And I'm just a planet
And I can't stand it
But I am humble to be in your

Universe

You are my universe
And I'm just a planet
And I can't stand it
But I am humble to be in your world

I'll bet you never saw it coming
At all
I'll bet you never saw it coming
But it's so nice to meet you

You are my universe
You are my universe
And I'm just a planet
And I can't stand it

You are my universe
You are my universe
And I'm just a planet
And I can't stand it
But I am humble to be in your world

I am humble to be in your world
I am so humble to be in your world
World

I've been floating in the night sky
On a ship that's stuck on standby
Your voice reminds me I'm real





Your universe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Punchline's song "Universe" tell a story of a person who is floating in the night sky on a ship that's stuck on standby. They long for human connection, and their only link left to human kind is the voice of a person on the land line. They question the possibility of ever meeting this person and wonder if it would change everything. The chorus expresses their feelings of insignificance compared to the person they long for, as they believe that person is their universe while they are just a planet.


The lyrics use the metaphor of magnetic fields to describe the lives of the two people, indicating that their lives are intertwined and dependent on one another. The person singing the song feels small and powerless to the hold that the other person has on them. They express their vulnerability and humility towards the other person's world.


The song serves as a reminder that sometimes, we may feel lost and small, but the connection we have with others can make us feel real and significant. It also highlights the idea that the universe is vast and that our existence is just a tiny part of it.
