Vega Velocity
Syrian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sailing to constant warp
The vortex I will embrace to show
Enter the Delta Quadrant
To unfold the atavistic dreams:
Dimensional shift and leave the void
Did you fly across the northern star?
Reaching Vega Velocity did you ever think of me?
And so it seems so strange to be lost in space. Sometimes I feel so lone and strained.
The lyrics to Syria's song "Vega Velocity" are a metaphorical ode to the wide expanse of space and the boundless possibilities it represents. The opening lines describe the voyager's journey through the infinite expanse of space at a constant warp, with a sense of exhilaration and wonder. The vortex that the singer embraces could be interpreted as a metaphor for embracing the unknown and taking risks, a theme that runs throughout the song.
As the lyrics continue, the singer enters the Delta Quadrant, where she encounters atavistic dreams - a reference to the primal, instinctive nature of human beings. The dimensional shift that the singer undergoes represents a transformation or evolution, as she leaves behind the emptiness of the void and enters a new realm of understanding.
The chorus of the song brings the lyrics back down to earth, with a series of questions that suggest the singer's partner or loved one has been left behind on Earth. Although the singer has reached incredible heights of achievement and is traveling at Vega Velocity, a hypothetical speed that is almost impossible to attain, she still wonders if her partner has thought of her during her travels. The song ends with a sense of loneliness and uncertainty, echoing the sense of adventure tinged with uncertainty that characterizes the singer's journey.
Line by Line Meaning
Traveling through the space
I am traversing through the vast expanse of the universe
Sailing to constant warp
I am smoothly accelerating towards a stable, high speed of light
The vortex I will embrace to show
I will gladly welcome the gravitational energy source that will propel me forward
Enter the Delta Quadrant
I will venture into a distant region of the galaxy
To unfold the atavistic dreams:
To realize ancient ambitions and aspirations
Dimensional shift and leave the void
I will transgress beyond three dimensions and leave empty space behind
Did you fly across the northern star?
Did you explore the heavens and witness the wonders they display?
Did you see the light on planet Mars?
Did you observe the shining red planet in the night sky?
Reaching Vega Velocity did you ever think of me?
When accelerating towards extremely high speeds, did you ever recall me?
And so it seems so strange to be lost in space.
It feels bewildering to be isolated and wandering in the immense cosmos
Sometimes I feel so lone and strained.
Occasionally, I experience overwhelming feelings of solitude and stress.
