Space
Tonedeff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There is space all around us
Space that occupies the length of the sky from the ground up
It abounds and astounds us
Space that we just can't wait to eliminate when we've found lust
And the very thing we pray for when our mates are starting to hound us
The sound of space silent, and breaking the speed of sound is violent
But it's necessary to crack the atmosphere to find it
There's Space between cars when you've sped in the streets that should never
Be breached or you're dead and deceased
There's even space between Letterman's teeth
You'd better increase the space between us
Cause personal space invaders get their gender planets switched from Mars to Venus
Banished into uncharted regions, sandwiched between millenniums
Challengers get brandished as wasted space like their perineum's
Space is at a premium, so guard your place
It's hard to take a harsher fate, than cats jacking your parking space
Your car's displaced, and I fit in where I can, and if you're a guy
Your petitioning women to fill up the space between their thighs
And I've realized that space is what makes safer sex
Relying on rubbers that won't break or stretch, to place your bets
I raise the question and most heads will take a guess
Why? Cause most cats ain't smart enough to be Astronauts
But make amazing Space Cadets
I'm acing tests, cause I'm known perform with grace
Scorching 'em over breaks - my mind serves as my lyrical storage space
I've scorched the bass drum, and I've spared snares when the board's recording
My big bang theory states that space got more suns than George Foreman
I'm tormenting rappers that are 2 faced cheaters
Claiming their block is hot
But only with the power set to max on their space heaters
The waste they feed us is alarming
Their CDs are overpriced like living space in lower Manhattan apartments
There's space in a coffin, for your remains to be rotten
Space that is made of stars, and space that's contained in a carton
Space in this game for those willing to suffer pain




Space for a new thought to stuff in your brain
But there's no space in my FUCKING name

Overall Meaning

In Tonedeff's song "Space," the rapper explores various interpretations and uses of the word "space." He begins by describing the physical space that surrounds us and how we often seek to eliminate it when we're consumed by lust, but also crave it when we feel like our personal space is being invaded. Tonedeff observes that space can be silent but also violent, as breaking the sound barrier requires cracking through the Earth's atmosphere. He even notes the space between things like cars, teeth, and people's thighs.


Tonedeff also discusses the idea of space in a more conceptual sense, emphasizing its importance in allowing us to have safer sex and providing room for new ideas to take hold in our minds. He contrasts himself with other rappers who he sees as wasting space with their two-faced cheating and overpriced CDs, using his own lyrical ability and intellectual "storage space" to outperform them. Ultimately, Tonedeff declares that there is "no space" in his "fucking name," suggesting that he is intending to make an indelible impression through his music and creative pursuits.
