Galaxies
Subsonic Fallout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reality, an illusion
we are a mere collection
of fluctuations...
in fabric of time!
I am the stars and the earth below.
I am the product of starlight.
I am the world around you.
I am the universe and all that's beyond!

I'm void of emotion, remembering what...
I've lost... I never knew... I could
reach across the universe.

I am enticed by the shining diamonds
of the cosmos... I am drawn to the center of the stage.
This is our final dance into oblivion...
the secrets spill out, spiraling down (into the abyss)

I'm void of emotion, remembering what...
I've lost... I am infinite, yet I've lost who I am
(And that's when I realized... we are!)

We are one in the same.
Star-struck, but passion's dying out
have I lost myself again, the way you
pull me in? (we stretch ourselves)
across the bitter end, as these words crash upon your lips
I swear I'm not the only one...
Shivering ghost... it's just a host
to the universe...

We are one in the same,
star-struck, but passion's dying out...
Have I lost myself again,
the way you pull me in?





From afar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Galaxies" by Subsonic Fallout delve into the themes of interconnectedness, identity, and the vastness of the universe. The opening line, "Reality, an illusion", sets the tone for the philosophical exploration that follows. The singer proclaims that humanity is just a mere collection of fluctuations in the fabric of time, highlighting the existential nature of existence. The chorus reveals the singer's perspective that they are one with the stars, the earth, and the universe, emphasizing interconnectedness.


The second verse speaks to a sense of loss and disconnection. The singer claims to be "void of emotion" and unable to reach across the universe for what they've lost. The chorus repeats the idea of interconnectedness but with a hint of sadness, that the passion is dying out. The bridge reveals a desire to be pulled into another's orbit, but with a sense of trepidation that they might lose themselves again. The final line is poignant, that the universe is just a host to the shivering ghost, which is a metaphor for the singer's sense of smallness in contrast to the vast universe.
