Ella and Flo met during a turbulent summer in 2008 and since then got married, gave birth to UMA in 2012 and released their first EP via Seayou Records (AT) and Enraptured Records (UK).

UMA just finished the recordings of to their first Studio Album, using a wide range of equipment that got recorded onto tape at Berlin’s Oogumboogum studios.
Astronaut
Uma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In between my fingertips
Catching on the morning sunshine
Maybe, it fractures in your eyes
Every time we say goodbye
Your blazing blue skies make me oh-so-shy
Dance your way around me
Where, oh, where
Where does all the time go?
Do I tiptoe on a tightrope around you?
Forgive me, I'm breathless
And we're all alone out in space
Astronauts colliding
Face-to-face, keep lying
Eye-to-eye and skin-to-skin
So, break into tiny pieces, my love
The Gods above know you're scared and hurt
Break into tiny pieces, my love
The Gods above know you're scared
Where, oh, where
Where does all the time go?
Do I tiptoe on a tightrope around you?
Forgive me, I'm breathless
And we're all alone out in space
Astronauts colliding
Face-to-face, keep lying
Eye-to-eye and skin-to-skin
The song "Astronaut" by Uma is a beautifully crafted piece that delves deep into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. The opening lyrics, "Break from me in between my fingertips, catching on the morning sunshine, maybe it fractures in your eyes" indicate the pain of separation and the bittersweet memories that remain in one's mind even after they part ways. The singer is trying to let go while holding on at the same time, unable to completely sever the bond with their loved one.
The chorus "And we're all alone out in space, astronauts colliding, face-to-face, keep lying, eye-to-eye and skin-to-skin" reflects the intense intimacy and the comfort shared between two people while also acknowledging the falsehood that can creep in as a defense mechanism. The bridge "Where, oh, where, where does all the time go? Do I tiptoe on a tightrope around you? Forgive me, I'm breathless" conveys the anxiety of not knowing what the future holds and the uncertainty that comes with it.
Overall, the song portrays the struggles of two people trying to hold on to each other while also accepting the inevitable distance between them. It captures the pain, joy, and complexity of relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
Break from me
Please distance yourself from me
In between my fingertips
Even though you are not here physically, you are always in my thoughts
Catching on the morning sunshine
The hope that each new day brings, and the possibility that things may turn out differently
Maybe, it fractures in your eyes
Perhaps you are also feeling conflicted and unsure
Every time we say goodbye
Parting is always difficult
Your blazing blue skies make me oh-so-shy
Your bright and intense presence always affects me
Dance your way around me
Continue to have a hold on me, even while I try to move on
Cupid knows it's you on my mind
My thoughts constantly revolve around you, and my heart refuses to let go
Where, oh, where
Where has the time gone? Time seems to fly by so quickly
Do I tiptoe on a tightrope around you?
Am I always hesitant and cautious when it comes to you?
Forgive me, I'm breathless
I am overwhelmed with emotions that leave me unable to speak
And we're all alone out in space
We are feeling lost and isolated in our own personal universe
Astronauts colliding
Our paths have crossed and we are facing the consequences
Face-to-face, keep lying
Our relationship is built on deceit and false promises
Eye-to-eye and skin-to-skin
Despite everything, we are still drawn to each other, unable to resist the physical and emotional connection
So, break into tiny pieces, my love
Let go of the fear and pain that is holding you back, allow yourself to be vulnerable
The Gods above know you're scared and hurt
Even though you try to hide it, your true feelings are evident
Where, oh, where
Once again, where has the time gone?
Do I tiptoe on a tightrope around you?
Am I still unable to fully trust and open up to you?
Forgive me, I'm breathless
My heart is pounding, and I am completely consumed with emotion
And we're all alone out in space
Once again, we are left feeling isolated and alone
Astronauts colliding
We continue to collide and face the consequences of our actions
Face-to-face, keep lying
We are still living a lie and avoiding the truth
Eye-to-eye and skin-to-skin
We are still drawn to each other despite everything, and we are unable to resist giving in to temptation
