Steve Aoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can see you standing in the crowd
Light years we've come to call upon you now
We can see you standing in the crowd
Light years we've come to call upon you now
We can see you standing in the crowd
Light years we've come to call upon you now
Lights years, lights years, lights years, lights years
To call upon you now
We are making contact, calling from the stars
And you know who we are
We are making contact, calling from the stars
And you know who we are
To call upon you now, to call upon you now, to call upon you now
Light years we've come to call upon you now
We can see you standing in the crowd
Light years we've come to call upon you now
We can see you standing in the crowd
We are making contact, calling from the stars
And you know who we are
We are making contact, calling from the stars
And you know who we are
The song "Light Years" by Steve Aoki featuring Steve Aoki talks about making contact with extraterrestrial life forms from a futuristic distant world. The lyrics "Light years we've come to call upon you now" convey that the singer and his team have traveled an enormous distance to reach this world and are calling out to the inhabitants. They can see the beings "standing in the crowd," which suggests that they are in a populated area, possibly a city.
The chorus repeats the words "To call upon you now" several times, emphasizing the urgency and importance of their mission. The verses continue with the theme of making contact from the stars, with the lyrics "We are making contact, calling from the stars, and you know who we are."
The song creates a sense of excitement and wonder about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the idea of connecting with beings from other worlds. The repetitive nature of the chorus creates a sense of urgency and importance, adding to the excitement and anticipation of making contact.
