saturn
SZA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

If there's another universe
Please make some noise (noise)
Give me a sign (sign)
This can't be life
If there's a point to losing love
Repeating pain (why?)
It's all the same
I hate this place

Stuck in this paradigm
Don't believe in paradise
This must be what Hell is like
There's got to be more, got to be more
Sick of this head of mine
Intrusive thoughts, they paralyze
Nirvana's not as advertised
There's got to be more, been here before

Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Life's better on Saturn
Got to break this pattern
Of floating away
Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Find something worth saving
It's all for the taking
I always say

I'll be better on Saturn
None of this matters
Dreaming of Saturn, oh

If karma's really real
How am I still here?
Just seems so unfair
I could be wrong though
If there's a point to being good
Then where's my reward?
The good die young and poor
I gave it all I could

Stuck in this terradome
All I see is terrible
Making us hysterical
There's got to be more, got to be more
Sick of this head of mine
Intrusive thoughts, they paralyze
Nirvana's not as advertised
There's got to be more, been here before

Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Life's better on Saturn
Got to break this pattern
Of floating away
Ooh (ooh, ooh)
Find something worth saving
It's all for the taking
I always say

I'll be better on Saturn




None of this matters
Dreaming of Saturn, oh

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of SZA's song "Saturn," the singer is expressing a sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with life on Earth, questioning the purpose and meaning of existence. The repeated pleas for a sign or noise from another universe suggest a longing for something beyond the mundane and painful experiences she is currently enduring. The mention of losing love and experiencing repeated pain conveys a feeling of hopelessness and frustration, as if life's struggles are all too familiar and unbearable. The singer expresses a deep dislike for her current state, indicating a desire for escape or a better reality.


The references to paradigms, paradises, and Hell reflect the singer's internal struggle with her beliefs and understanding of the world. She seems to have lost faith in the idea of a perfect place or an afterlife where things will be better, as she feels trapped in a cycle of negative thoughts and experiences. The questioning of the concept of karma and the unfairness she perceives in her own circumstances further emphasizes her sense of disillusionment and disbelief in the justice of the universe. Despite trying to be good, she feels undeserving of any positive outcomes, feeling overlooked and neglected.


The chorus of the song, with its repetition of "Life's better on Saturn," signifies a yearning for escape and a desire to break free from the current patterns of suffering and disappointment. The singer dreams of finding something worth saving and feels that there must be more to life than what she is currently experiencing. The notion of being better on Saturn suggests a longing for a different place or state of being where she can find peace and fulfillment, away from the struggles of Earth. The singer's aspiration for a better existence is palpable as she envisions a paradise where none of the current worries and pains matter.


Overall, "Saturn" by SZA delves into themes of disillusionment, longing for escape, and a quest for meaning in the face of life's challenges. The song captures the singer's inner turmoil and dissatisfaction with the world she inhabits, as she grapples with questions of purpose, justice, and fulfillment. Through introspective and introspective lyrics, SZA offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of existence and the universal desire for a better, more fulfilling reality.
