Astronaut
The Aston Shuffle feat. Joel Compass Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Living like an astronaut
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
I try to freeze frame as my mind lets go
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

Overall Meaning

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.
