S.p.i.t. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could kill, but I don't care about it
I can face your threats
And stand up straight and tall and shout about it
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
But I won't need rehabilitating, oh no
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travels in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out
But I know I can't live without it, oh no
I think I'm on another world with you, with you
I'm on another planet with you, with you
Another girl is loving you now
Another planet, is holding you down
Another planet
The lyrics of S.p.i.t's Planets speak of the singer's affinity for danger and risk-taking. He is, as he puts it, always flirting with death, and even though he could kill, he doesn't care about it. He is fearless when it comes to standing up to threats, and he will shout about it. The singer also seems to be very much in love with another person who has gotten under his skin, and while this person always plays to win, the singer doesn't feel any need for rehabilitating. He feels like he's on another world, another planet, when he's with this person.
The chorus, repeated twice, speaks of the singer's sense of being on another planet with this person he's in love with. They have a connection that's out of this world, and it's almost like they're in their own little bubble away from the rest of the world.
The third stanza speaks of the space travels that are apparently in the singer's blood. He can't help but go on long journeys, even though they wear him out. He knows he can't live without it, though, which seems to be a metaphor for his relationship with the person he's in love with. He feels like he's on another planet with this person, and he can't imagine life without them.
Overall, the lyrics of Planets seem to be about the singer's affinity for risk-taking and danger, as well as his deep love for another person. When he's with this person, he feels like he's on another planet, away from the rest of the world.
