Planet Mars
Sofia Portanet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I deeply regret it ended like that
And probably I've been mistaken
I should never ever have left you
I don't know, I don't know

But in the back of my mind
And I don't know why
There's something telling me it had to be
Like a voice whispering...

Just let it go
And leave behind
Just let it go
And leave behind

And I cry
And I die

'Cause what I want
More than anything right now
Is to be with you, in your arms
The two of us embracing

Now that I am on my own
Don't know where to go
Have no fix, no clue
Completely lost with no one to lean on

And I cry
And I die
And I cry
And I die

Lying on your suitcase
I'd like to call you
Hear your voice
Just to come down, just to come down, just to come down

I don't want to have to leave you again
I'd like to speed up time
Know how things will be
Am I right, am I wrong?

And I cry
And I die
And I cry
And I die

Just let it go




And leave behind
Just let it go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sofia Portanet's song "Planet Mars" express regret and longing for a lost love. The singer expresses remorse for leaving the person, admitting that they were likely mistaken in doing so. Despite this, there is something in the back of their mind that tells them the separation had to happen, almost like a voice whispering to them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Just let it go and leave behind," which could be interpreted as a message to both the singer and the lost love to move on from the romantic relationship.


The verses describe the singer's current state of being lost and alone without the person they left behind. They cry and die inside without the comfort of being in their lover's arms. The last verse, in particular, emphasizes the desperation of the singer's desire to be with the person again. They lie on their suitcase, wishing they could call the person and hear their voice. The singer wonders if they're right or wrong about leaving and wishes they knew how things would be in the future.


Overall, "Planet Mars" is a melancholic song about the pain of lost love and the difficulty of moving on. The repetition of the phrase "Just let it go and leave behind" could be interpreted in different ways, either as a necessary step for healing or as a plea to forget the past and move on for good.

Heard it on BBC 6. I love this song and usually I don't care for the videos, but this one is perfect on so many different levels.

I was listening to the radio and then I fell asleep, later this song was played and I woke up with a strange feeling, something like "What's this? Am I dreaming, Is this real? Is it a ghost song?".... I found a treasure
