Lost in Space
Soa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i laugh in your face
fucked on drugs
lost in space
see your friends
they laugh at you
but don't get made
cause their druged to
go throw up, come back for more
eat those pills, take those thrills
who's gonna wind up dead - you
snort that coke, what a joke
who's gonna wind up dead - you
The opening line "Up in smoke, I laugh in your face" is a reference to drug use, specifically smoking marijuana. The singer is mocking those who judge him for his drug use while also acknowledging the potential harm it can cause, as evidenced by the following lines referencing being "fucked on drugs" and "lost in space." The next two lines criticize the singer's friends for also being drug users, but it's delivered with a dark humor as the singer realizes that they are all in this together.
The chorus is a warning about the dangers of drug use, referencing both pills and cocaine. The repetition of "Who's gonna wind up dead - you" highlights the potential consequences of drug use and serves as a reminder that the risk is not worth it. The final lines are particularly bleak as they describe spending time on the floor and throwing up, only to come back for more. It's a cycle of addiction and self-destruction that the singer is caught in and can't break free from.
