Through the Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna take you far away somewhere that is out of site
We can go off the map if your down for that
And I wont argue when you tell me that you never wanna come back
So baby lets go and disappear for days
Just like an astroid lasts floating through the milky way
So lets blast off and leave our worries light years away
We're in our own galaxy baby it's just you and me
I wanna get close to you
And I wanna get next to you
I wanna go away with you
And take you to the moon
Take you to the moon
I wanna get close to you
And I wanna get next to you
I wanna go away with you
And take you to the moon
Take you to the moon
Baby come on lets make a memory
We can spend eternity in perfect harmony
We can dance across the stars all the way to mars
No satelite interference the universe is ours
And 5 4 3 2 1 the countdown has begun
I'm ready to lift off there's only room for one
This is the last boarding call there is no time to stall
Yes I want it to be you
So tell me what you wanna do because...
I wanna get close to you
And I wanna get next to you
I wanna go away with you
And take you to the moon
Take you to the moon
I wanna get close to you
And I wanna get next to you
I wanna go away with you
And take you to the moon
Take you to the moon yeah
Baby just take my hand lets run away to paradise
I wanna take you far away somewhere that is out of site
We can go off the map if your down for that
And I wont argue when you tell me that you never wanna come back
These lyrics are about the desire to escape reality and go to a place where only two people exist. The singer is inviting their significant other to join them on a journey to paradise, where they can forget about all their troubles and be lost in each other's company. They want to go off the map and get lost in the universe, completely detached from the noise, chaos and interference that comes with the ordinary world.
The singer uses an analogy of an asteroid floating through the Milky Way to represent how they want their relationship to be. They want to be a symbol of love, an entity that travels through space and time, unaffected by the external forces that could potentially harm their relationship. The countdown at the end of the song represents the singer's impatience to embark on this journey with their significant other, and their desire to let nothing stand in the way of their union.
