Saturn
Riz La Vie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll earn some diamond rings and plaques
For when I'm sad
I turn my head and I cling to that
May they come right back what I would have had
If I never gave it all to you
Who'da known I was full the whole time like the moon
Ah-hoo
From where I'm sat
The moon look likes dew in the grass
But your eyes are huge, can you tell if I'm doing bad?
Mother Earth, I've been burnin' all this gas
Swipin' this plastic and driving too fast
Flying so probably buyin' in excess
But been paper baggin' and totin' no less
Brought me up to the stars, it was worth it we figured, but baby
What's a deep breath if the air isn't fresh?
Gotta clear it, why you always so mysterious?
I'ma fast and you're a furious
I was Mia, you were Brian, ain't a cop but you were lyin'
I was massive, you were giant
All the other lights were silent
Only two left in the sky we starting intertwining, spinning
Black hole tunnel vision, but from where I'm sitting now
Helping out, light the sky up
Seems like my only way up
And I heard it's the only way that's right
Baby you were up all night
Swipin' this plastic and driving too fast
Flying so probably buyin' in excess
But been paper baggin' and toting no less
Your body carbon but not copied
Your body cosmically corralled me
Like gravity, you keep on working on me
Like gravity, you keep on working on me
From where I'm sat
Turning the wheel to come back
Feeling my tires all shaking in need of
Alignment and changing my brakes but I'll make it
Barely breathing you might wanna save it
Sitting where you stood
Before you turned the pages in our book
The shade dissipated now I'm waiting here to cook
The waste we created need a way to make it good
Your face emaciated I would feed you if I could
All of the space we don't leave
Filled with the things we don't need
All that we built, all of the land that filled
Swallowed this planets like pills
Baby you were up all night
Swipin' this plastic and driving too fast
Flying so probably buyin' in excess
But paper baggin' and toting no less
Your body carbon but not copied
Your body cosmically corralled me
Like gravity, you keep on working on me
Like gravity, you keep on working on me
Like helium, lightheaded delirium
Like packs and pounds, you keep on breaking me down
In Riz La Vie's song "Saturn," the lyrics explore themes of materialism and its impact on the environment, as well as the idea of finding oneself and experiencing growth. The first verse talks about the potential success the singer could achieve ("diamond rings and plaques") but also acknowledges the emptiness they feel inside ("If I never gave it all to you / Who'da known I was full the whole time like the moon"). The second verse reflects on the destructive actions of humanity ("burnin' all this gas / Swipin' this plastic and driving too fast"), but the singer also expresses a desire to make a positive change and find meaning in their life ("The shade dissipated now I'm waiting here to cook / The waste we created need a way to make it good").

From where I'm sat
As I sit and reflect on my life
I'll earn some diamond rings and plaques
I will achieve success and recognition
For when I'm sad
During my moments of grief and hardship
I turn my head and I cling to that
I seek comfort in my past achievements
May they come right back what I would have had
I hope my success and recognition will return
If I never gave it all to you
If I had not put all my effort into something else
Who'da known I was full the whole time like the moon
I have always been content and full of potential, just like the moon
The moon looks like dew in the grass
The moon appears small and insignificant from where I sit
But your eyes are huge, can you tell if I'm doing bad?
However, your eyes are observant and can detect my emotional state
Mother Earth, I've been burnin' all this gas
I have been consuming resources recklessly
Swipin' this plastic and driving too fast
I have been using my credit card and driving carelessly
Flying so probably buyin' in excess
I have been traveling a lot and purchasing unnecessary items
But been paper baggin' and toting no less
Despite this, I have been living frugally
Brought me up to the stars, it was worth it we figured, but baby
However, my reckless behavior has allowed me to reach new heights
What's a deep breath if the air isn't fresh?
But what is the point of taking a breath if the environment is not healthy?
Gotta clear it, why you always so mysterious?
We must address it and why are you always so secretive?
I'ma fast and you're a furious
I am quick while you are intense
I was Mia, you were Brian, ain't a cop but you were lyin'
We were like the characters Mia and Brian from the Fast and Furious franchise and though you are not a cop, you were not truthful with me
I was massive, you were giant
I was significant, but you were even more significant
All the other lights were silent, only two left in the sky we starting intertwining, spinning
All other distractions were gone, and we were focused on each other
Black hole tunnel vision, but from where I'm sitting now
We were so focused on each other that everything else seemed to fade and now, as I reflect, I am in a dark place
Helping out, light the sky up
I am trying to help, to bring some brightness to my life
Seems like my only way up
It seems like the only solution to rise up from this dark place
And I heard it's the only way that's right
I have heard that this is the only path to take
Your body carbon but not copied
Your body is made of carbon but is unique
Your body cosmically corralled me
Your body has an unexplainable pull on me, like the cosmos
Like gravity, you keep on working on me
Like gravity, you have a consistent, unexplainable impact on me
Like helium, lightheaded delirium
Like helium, I feel lightheaded and delirious due to my emotions towards you
Like packs and pounds, you keep on breaking me down
Like weight, you continue to weigh me down and break me apart
Turning the wheel to come back
I am trying to steer myself in the right direction
Feeling my tires all shaking in need of alignment and changing my brakes but I'll make it
My life feels chaotic and unstable, but I will overcome
Barely breathing you might wanna save it
I am struggling to breathe, and someone may need to intervene
Sitting where you stood
I am now in the same place you were before
Before you turned the pages in our book
Before you opened a new chapter in our relationship
The shade dissipated now I'm waiting here to cook
The darkness is slowly fading, and now, I am waiting for a change to come
The waste we created need a way to make it good
We need to find a way to fix the damage we have done
Your face emaciated I would feed you if I could
You look malnourished, and I wish I could help you
All of the space we don't leave
We occupy too much space and resources
Filled with the things we don't need
We waste resources on things that are not crucial
All that we built, all of the land that filled
We built so much and used so much land
Swallowed this planets like pills
We have consumed the Earth's resources like medication

on Pisces
you need to
Talk to me nice
You treat your friends like you don't know that they're your vice
As a Pisces I connect with this specific part on a whole other level
