Galaxy
SoGreatandPowerful Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

mama, hold onto me
Galaxy, line by line
becoming new without a place

[we don't know who we are
we don't know where we are
each of us woke up one moment
and here we were in the darkness
we're nameless things with no memory
no knowledge of what went before
no understanding of what is now
no knowledge of what will be]

when the ponies arrived
she blinked her eyes
to make the stars
dance in the sky

being together, being together
is enough, big dipper
come out and play under midnight, midnight

when she awoke and
looked in the mirror,
sure enough,
little dipper

stardust still sparkled in her eyes, her eyes

her eyes, her eyes
her eyes, her eyes




her eyes, her eyes
her eyes, her eyes

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of SoGreatandPowerful’s song “Galaxy” are an appeal to maternal love and safety. The singer asks “mama” to hold onto them, as if they are afraid of being lost or forgotten. The next line, “Galaxy, line by line,” suggests a sense of exploration or discovery. The galaxy, with its vastness and unknown dimensions, can be seen as a symbol of the unexplored and mysterious parts of the self. This sense of discovery is linked to the lines that follow: “becoming new without a place.” Here, the singer seems to be looking for a sense of identity, or a place in the world, but is also open to the possibility of change and growth. This theme is further explored in the following lines.


The next stanza reveals a sense of confusion and disorientation. The singers admit, “we don’t know who we are” and “we don’t know where we are.” They describe themselves as “nameless things with no memory,” with no clear sense of past or future. This feeling of uncertainty is expressed in the melancholy tone of the song, as well as the repeated refrain of “her eyes, her eyes.” This repetition suggests a kind of longing or searching for something lost or elusive.


The final stanza offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer envisions “being together” with others and finding joy in simple pleasures. The reference to the “big dipper” and “little dipper” suggests the idea of connection and companionship, as well as a return to childhood innocence and playfulness. The final lines, with their focus on “stardust” and “sparkling eyes,” suggest a new sense of wonder and possibility. Overall, “Galaxy” is a song that explores themes of identity, memory, and the search for meaning and connection.
