Júpiter
Saturday Night Live Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Searching in the sky one night, while looking for the moon
I viewed a mighty light approching in a zoom
Need was there to tell someone of my discovery
Fifteen seconds later, a light appeared in front of me
To my surprise, there stood a man with age and mystery
His name was Jupiter and came to visit me

The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free
Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come

Keep your eye on Jupiter, such beauty in the sky
We will wait for your return in the by and by
Keep your eye on Jupiter, memories we shall fulfill
Just to view a brighter day, and do a righteous will

Watching and considering my visual state of mind
The flower fragrance help reveal to me the sign
The sigh of love, I had confessed to live and really know
The sign of love which I had failed my fellowman to show

The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free
Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come

The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free
Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come

The name is Jupiter, from the galaxy
I came to meet you, to make you free




Deliver to you a flower from
A distant planet, from where I come

"Agora que ela está de volta à atmosfera
Com gotas de Júpiter em seu cabelo
Ela age como o verão e anda como a chuva
Me lembra que há tempo para mudar
Desde o retorno da temporada dela na lua
Ela ouve como a primavera e conversa como junho
Mas me diga, você velejou através do sol?
Você chegou até a Via Láctea
Para ver as luzes todas apagadas
E que o céu está superestimado?
Me diga, você caiu de uma estrela cadente
Uma sem uma cicatriz permanente
E você sentiu minha falta
Enquanto você estava buscando por si mesma lá fora?
Agora que ela está de volta daquelas férias da alma
Traçando o caminho dela através da constelação
Ela verifica por Mozart enquanto ela faz Tae-bo
Me lembra que há espaço para crescer
Agora que ela está de volta à atmosfera
Estou com medo que ela possa me ver como uma
Garota comum que contou uma história sobre um homem
Que tinha muito medo de voar então ele nunca aterrisou
Mas me diga, o vento te conquistou?
Você finalmente teve a chance de dançar junto à luz do dia
E voltar para a Via Láctea?
E me diga, Vênus te surpreendeu?
Foi tudo o que você quis encontrar ?
E você sentiu minha falta
Enquanto você estava buscando por si mesma lá fora?
Você consegue imaginar nenhum amor, orgulho,
Seu melhor amigo sempre defendendo você
(mesmo quando eu sei que você está errada)?
Você pode imaginar nenhuma primeira dança
Um romance congelado,
Uma conversa de 5 horas no telefone
O melhor café com leite de soja que você já tomou e... eu?
Mas me diga, o vento te conquistou?
Você finalmente teve a chance de dançar junto à luz do dia
E voltar para a Via Láctea?
Mas me diga, você velejou através do sol?
Você chegou até a Via Láctea para ver as luzes todas apagadas
E que o céu está superestimado?
Me diga, você caiu de uma estrela cadente
Uma sem uma cicatriz permanente
E você sentiu minha falta enquanto você estava buscando por si mesma?
Nanananananananananananana
E você finalmente teve a chance de dançar junto à luz do dia?
E você caiu de uma estrela cadente?
Caiu de uma estrela cadente?
E você está se solitária buscando por si mesma lá fora?"

In a 2008 interview with VH1’s Behind the Music, Monahan explained the meaning of the song and tells the story of his mother’s tragic passing.

Thus, while many assume that the lyrics to “Drops of Jupiter” are about a woman who leaves a relationship to go explore the world on her own, they are actually lyrics of grieving as Monahan imagines his mother returning to him in spirit after a journey through the afterlife.

In the interview, Monahan says that the opening lyric, “Now that she’s back in the atmosphere,” came to him in a dream.

“The process of creation wasn’t easy,” Monahan explains. “I just couldn’t figure out what to write, but then I woke up from a dream about a year after my mother passed away with the words ‘back in the atmosphere’…It was just her way of saying what it was like – she was swimming through the planets and came to me with drops of Jupiter in her hair.”

From there, he came up with the rest of the nostalgic, cosmic pop song, ripe with plenty of vivid imagery.
