Serenade
Steve Miller Band - Steve Band Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As they fell all around you?
Did you hear the music ?
A serenade from the stars
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space and the time is our own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah
Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you?
Did you feel the love
That was in the air?
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space and the time is our own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
Ah-ah
The sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in space and the earth is your own
Whoa-oh
Whoa-oh
The Steve Miller Band's "Serenade" is a song about being in awe of the wonders of the universe. The lyrics suggest that the singer is surrounded by falling lights, music, wind, and love that all feel like they are coming from the stars. The idea is that the listener is waking up and opening their senses to experience the beauty around them. The song suggests that we're all lost in space and time is our own, which is a somewhat surreal concept. The serenade from the stars may represent an awakening, prompting the listener to become aware of their place in the world and the beauty of the universe.
The lyrics of "Serenade" seem to be inspired by the beauty of the night sky and the mystery of the cosmos, but there is no concrete interpretation, as the lyrics are open to different interpretations. Some listeners have suggested that Miller is encouraging his audience to look beyond the world they see with their eyes and to explore their innermost selves. Others see the song as a metaphor for the human experience, with its ups and downs, and the idea that we are all one in the vast expanse of the universe.
