Another Planet
The Notwist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are another
Planet cause you are you stare
And kiss me from above, don't
You? Say why. You need no
Reason to deny. Say why you
Kiss me from above. In dreams
Your fiends are sleeping. In
Dreams their hands are falling
Off. In dreams they never call




You. To show you things from
Their buildings up above.

Overall, Another Planet is a song that explores the mystery and magic of human connection, and the possibility of transcending the confines of our mundane world.
