Galaxy
Thorsteinn Einarsson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on first street and I'm waiting
Cars are passing by anticipating
I keep waving, but no one picks me up
I've come a long way riding on Louis Lane
Full speed and thinking that I'm Superman
Game over, if no one picks me up

Can somebody help me out?
Feel like I'm hitchhiking through the galaxy
All that I can think about
Is that I'm just another casualty
And every time it tears me down
Feel like I'm standing on the edge of the universe
I wish that I could turn back time instead of hitch
Hitchhiking through the galaxy
Hitchhiking through the galaxy yeah

Always too rash
Now my plane crashed
I'm confronted with who I really am
At times it hurts me, at times it's my best friend
I guess I'll be sedated until the fucking world ends
Where's my sense? Where's my crown?
And where's my shining armor now? It's faded
I fell deep, who's gonna get me back up?

Can somebody help me out?
Feel like I'm hitchhiking through the galaxy
All that I can think about
Is that I'm just another casualty
And every time it tears me down
Feel like I'm standing on the edge of the universe
I wish that I could turn back time instead of hitch
Hitchhiking through the galaxy
Hitchhiking through the galaxy yeah

Hitchhiking through the galaxy
Hitchhiking through the galaxy yeah
Hitchhiking through the galaxy

Can somebody help me out?
But every time it tears me down
Feel like I'm standing on the edge of the universe
I wish that I could turn back time instead of hitch
Hitchhiking through the galaxy




Hitchhiking through the galaxy yeah
Hitchhiking through the galaxy

THIS SONG IS A MASTER PIECE!!! It deserves so much more!!

Lisa K

Fantastischer Song! Seit ich ihn das 1. mal im Radio gehört habe, ein absoluter Ohrwurm. Endlich hab ich ihn hier auf YouTube auch gefunden.
Zuerst war ich ja überzeugt dass das Lied ein internationaler Erfolg aus Amerika ist, scheint aber nicht so zu sein. Da kann man als Österreich echt stolz sein, solche Künstler in unserem Land zu haben. Viel Erfolg weiterhin. :)
