S.P.B. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a moon in the sky
It's called the moon
And everybody is there, including,

Saturn, Mercury
Saturn, Venus
Saturn, Mars
Saturn, Jupiter

The Van Allen Belt

Roll-roll-roll-roll-rollin' in Andromeda
Won-ton-ton-ton rama-in-Andromeda

There's too many rings---This is the Space Age
There's too many things---This is the Space Age
Just ain't no atmosphere tonight

If you're lucky you get to ride in a gold meteorite
If you're not, you get a mouth, a mouthful of red Kryptonite
You better move over
Here comes a Super-nova
Kryptonite- - -
Destination moon

If you're in outer space
Don't feel out of place
'cause there are thousands of others like you
Others like you
Others like you

Well there's a moon, it's in the sky
It's called the moon
And everybody is there 'cluding
'ranus
Neptune
'ranus
Pluto
Destination moon

Many gamma rays around it
Van Allen Belt surrounds it
This is the Space Age
Please don't worry

This is the Space Age
Just don't worry
This is the Space Age

Others like you
Ahhh ahhh..........

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S.P.B.'s song "Moon" describe the vastness and mystery of outer space. The opening line, "There's a moon in the sky, it's called the moon," may seem simplistic at first, but upon closer examination, it speaks to the awe-inspiring power of the natural world. The list of planets that follows--Saturn, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter--further emphasizes the magnitude of the universe and the many celestial bodies that exist beyond our own planet. The reference to the Van Allen Belt, a zone of energetic charged particles that surrounds Earth, adds to the song's scientific accuracy and reinforces the idea that even in the vast reaches of space, there are structures and systems that are both fascinating and complex.

In the chorus, the lyrics suggest that the space age has brought with it a sense of overwhelming possibility, but also a feeling of isolation and uncertainty. The phrase "there's too many things" speaks to the abundance of information and opportunities available to those who venture into space, while the line "just ain't no atmosphere tonight" suggests a sense of loneliness and detachment from Earth. The idea of riding in a "gold meteorite" or consuming "red Kryptonite" highlights the fantastical nature of the cosmos, while the reference to a "Super-nova" underscores its immense power and potential for destruction. The repeated references to "others like you" at the end of the song suggest a sense of solidarity and shared experience among those who explore the cosmos.
