Astronaut
Salem Al Fakir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But she was already gone long ago
He really wanted her to stay
She couldn't wait to get away
And I was stuck in the middle
He tried to work it out
He didn't know a thing
Mm-mm behind his back the story was happening
And I was stuck in the middle
He loved her so
But she was already gone long ago
He really tried until the end
Mm-mm she had her own plans to attend
And I was stuck in the middle
I was stuck in the middle
I was stuck in the middle
She left him to be with me
We had a few things together but eventually
I understood what she was up to
it was planned from the beginning
and the plan was carried through
And now I'm still in the middle
I loved her so
But she was already gone to the next in row
I really wanted her to stay
Mm-mm she couldn't wait to getaway
And I was stuck in the middle
I loved her so
But she was already gone long ago
I really tried until the end
Mm-mm she had her own plans to attend
And I was stuck in the middle
I was stuck in the middle
I was stuck in the middle
The lyrics to Salem Al Fakir's song "Astronaut" tell the story of a man who was in love with a woman who had already emotionally checked out of their relationship. She wanted to leave him and he knew it, but he tried to hold on and fix things between them. However, he was unaware that she had already moved on and was seeing someone else. The singer of the song is stuck in the middle, trying to hold onto a relationship that is already doomed. In the end, she leaves him for the other man, and the singer is left alone, still stuck in the middle.
The lyrics are poignant and relatable, speaking to the heartache and frustration of being in a relationship that is falling apart. The metaphor of the astronaut is interesting as well, suggesting that the woman is unreachable, distant, and unattainable.
Overall, "Astronaut" is a complex and emotionally nuanced song that captures the pain and confusion of a failing relationship.
