Shades Apart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On your front lawn
I came to see if you're alright
But you were not alone
I will be around, don't count me out
Take a look around, I'm counting down
Even though I feel like I'm in outer space
A cosmonaut crashed on my spot
On your front lawn
You played along, put your spacesuit on
And blasted off
I will be around, don't count me out
Take a look around, I'm counting down
Even though I feel like I'm in outer space
Watching over you
Another night another flight
I watch you go
If I don't tell you how I feel
You'll never know
I will be around, don't count me out
Take a look around, I'm counting down
Even though I feel like I'm in outer space
Watching over you
The lyrics of Shades Apart's song Sputnik narrates the story of two people who are separated by distance, but the bond between them remains strong. The song opens with the description of a satellite crashing down on the front lawn of one of the two people. The singer is concerned about the safety of the other person and goes to check on them. However, upon reaching, they realize that the other person is not alone, implying that they are with someone else. Despite this, the singer promises to be around and counts down the moments until they can reunite.
The second verse depicts a cosmonaut crashing down on the singer's spot, and the other person is seen playing along, putting on a spacesuit and blasting off. This verse highlights the fact that both the people are holding on to their connection despite the physical distance between them. The chorus reassures the other person that though the singer feels like they are in outer space, they are watching over them from a distance.
The final verse expresses the singer's desire to communicate their feelings. They observe the other person leaving, knowing that if they don't express their emotions, they might never know how they feel. The song ends with the chorus, emphasizing that though they remain distant, the singer will always be around, counting down the moments until they reunite.

A satellite crashed down last night...on my front lawn...; which is how I became the first comment for this unnoticed but astronomically great song.
