Galaxies
Rekevin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although you're behind me
Just one more hour
For me to feel free
I fly above the clouds
So fluffy and appalled
They produce sounds
When I die I will get
To the world of my dreams
I see no more fetters
Just one faint gleam
We're stuck in the cloud number three
We're stuck in the cloud number three
We're stuck in the cloud number three
You and me
Ten thousand meters
The cities lay below
Heart misses drum-beater
Please, staunch the flow!
There's so much light
People far on the ground
I see through bullseye
They always put bounds
Those Galaxies are mine
With all Suns and the Moons
I'm lucky tonight
And I'll be back soon
We're stuck in the cloud number three
We're stuck in the cloud number three
We're stuck in the cloud number three
You and me
You and me
The lyrics to Rekevin's song Galaxies speak of an individual's desire to escape the confines of their current reality and explore the vast unknown. The opening lines indicate that the singer feels the power that lies beyond their current situation, but they are not able to access it just yet. They yearn for freedom, which they believe will come with the passing of time. The singer then speaks of soaring above the clouds, enjoying the beauty of the fluffy structures below them, undisturbed by any fear of falling. They speak of the afterlife being a place where one is free of all constraints, where they can fulfill their dreams without hindrance.
The second stanza of the song describes the singer's distance from the ground, being ten thousand meters above the cities. Despite the beauty of the view, the singer's heart misses a beat, and they yearn for someone to stop the bleeding. This could also be interpreted as the singer's desire for someone to anchor them or provide them with a sense of security. The singer sees the light emanating from the ground, observing people moving around, but they are distant and unbearably unreachable. The final stanza speaks of the singer's ownership of the galaxies, with all their suns and moons. They express gratitude for the opportunity to be lucky tonight, indicating a belief in the forces of fate, and promises they will return again soon.

I feel your power
I am fully aware of your influence
Although you're behind me
Despite the fact that you are not physically present
Just one more hour
Only a brief period of time remains
For me to feel free
To experience liberation from my current state
I fly above the clouds
I ascend beyond the physical limitations
So fluffy and appalled
The clouds below appear soft and fragile
They produce sounds
The clouds create a sonic atmosphere
I know, I won't fall
I am sure that I will not plummet
When I die I will get
Upon my expiration, I shall obtain
To the world of my dreams
Access to my idealistic reality
I see no more fetters
I envision no further restraints
Just one faint gleam
A single twinkling light remains
We're stuck in the cloud number three
We are currently immobilized on this plane
You and me
Both of us
Ten thousand meters
Distance above the earth's surface
The cities lay below
The urban areas are situated beneath me
Heart misses drum-beater
My emotions have become uncontrollable
Please, staunch the flow!
Please, put a stop to this uncontained outpouring
There's so much light
There is an immense amount of illumination
People far on the ground
Individuals located far beneath me
I see through bullseye
I am able to see through the circular symbol
They always put bounds
They are constantly imposing restrictions
Those Galaxies are mine
I possess ownership of those celestial bodies
With all Suns and the Moons
Comprised of all the stars and lunar objects
I'm lucky tonight
This evening, good fortune has found me
And I'll be back soon
I will return shortly
