The Aston Shuffle feat. Joel Compass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Outta space you can see
Hasn't happened how I thought
But at least I see clearly
Out of mind I don't know why
I try to freeze frame as my hands move slow
Out of my mind I don't know why
Was on my way to love you
I was passing through you let me cruise oh
And I'm thinking of you girl
It's the truth I held on to
And now I float above you
While I'm in the sex I think of you
It's the way I keep it close until the day I
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Living like an astronaut
Outta space you can hear me
It hasn't hit me how I thought
Separated by infinity
Get out of my mind I don't know why
Try to freeze frame as my hands move slow
Outta my mind I don't know why
Trying to freeze frame as my mind lets go
Was on my way to love you
I was passing through you let me cruise
I'm thinking of you girl
It's the truth I held on to
And now I float above you
While I'm in the sex I think of you
It's the way I keep you close
Until the day I get home
I'm on my way
Don't move so fast
Don't move so fast
I said hold on, I'm on my way home
Don't move so fast
Don't move so fast
Was on my way to love you
I was passing through you let me cruise
I'm thinking of you girl
It's the truth I held onto
And now I float above you
While I'm in the sex it' I think of you
Cause it's the way I keep her close
Until the day I get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
Get home
The lyrics to The Aston Shuffle feat. Joel Compass's song "Astronaut" touch on the feelings of separation and the longing for connection. The metaphorical reference to 'living like an astronaut' in the lyrics refers to feeling completely isolated, detached, and far away from someone or something that is important. The songwriter speaks of feeling lost and out of mind, trying to freeze frame as their mind and hands move slowly. Despite this, the songwriter knows what they want- their partner, and they hold onto the truth that they are thinking of them even when they are far away. The chorus of the song repeats the lines “Was on my way to love you, I was passing through you let me cruise, and I'm thinking of you girl. It's the truth I held on to”, emphasizing how the writer is committed to the relationship even in their difficult moments.
The lyrics highlight the importance of love and companionship and how challenging it can be when these things are not readily available. The songwriter ultimately wants to return home to their loved one but is separated from them by distance or circumstance. However, they keep their partner's thoughts close to them, even when they are in a state of physical distance.

Living like an astronaut
Feeling isolated and distant from everything and everyone, like an astronaut in space
Outta space you can see
Being so far away that the distance allows for a clear view
Hasn't happened how I thought
Things have turned out differently than expected
But at least I see clearly
Despite the distance and unexpectedness, there is a newfound clarity
Out of mind I don't know why
Feeling lost and confused without understanding why
I try to freeze frame as my hands move slow
Trying to hold onto a moment and make it last while time seems to move slowly
Out of my mind I don't know why
Feeling mentally disconnected and uncertain without explanation
I try to freeze frame as my mind lets go
Attempting to hold onto a thought or memory as it slips away
Was on my way to love you
Traveling towards love and a deeper connection
I was passing through you let me cruise oh
Passing through a moment or relationship while still in motion and without stopping
And I'm thinking of you girl
Thoughts and feelings are consumed by a particular person
It's the truth I held on to
The strongest belief or fact that is being held onto
And now I float above you
Feeling like being on a different plane or level, maybe above the person being thought about
While I'm in the sex I think of you
Even during an intimate moment, thoughts and feelings are still focused on the person in mind
It's the way I keep it close until the day I Get home
Holding onto thoughts and feelings until the moment of being reunited with the person
Get home
Wanting and yearning to return to a particular place or person
Don't move so fast
Hoping that things don't change too quickly or drastically
