Mars
VanLadyLove Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see you staring
At rockets in the sky
Firing the liquid
Lightning on your eyes
I think you know
You can make it if you try

We can make it to Mars

Lead a fire in the dark
Maybe find a place out in where
Stars don't try to blow each other up
We can make it to Mars
Lead a fire in the dark
Maybe find a place out in where
Stars don't try to blow each other up

I see you waiting
For miracles at night
Standing still while
Lives can pass us by
Don't know we can make it
We can make it if we try
I see you waiting
For miracles at night

We can make it to Mars
Lead a fire in the dark
Maybe find a place out in where
Stars don't try to blow each other up
We can make it to Mars
Lead a fire in the dark
Maybe find a place out in where
Stars don't try to blow each other up

We've made our decision
A thorough division
We've made our decision
A thorough division
A cosmic religion
Like nuclear fission
We've made our decision
A thorough division
A cosmic religion
Like nuclear fission, baby

We can make it to Mars
Lead a fire in the dark
Maybe find a place out in where
Stars don't try to blow each other up
We can make it to Mars
Lead a fire in the dark

Maybe find a place out in where
Stars don't try to blow each other up

Overall Meaning

The song "Mars" by VanLadyLove is about the desire to escape the conflicts and destruction of our planet and venture into the unknown territory of space, particularly Mars. The opening lines talk about the singer noticing someone gazing up at the rockets in the sky with a sense of wonder and determination. The image of “liquid lightning in your eyes” suggests the reflected excitement and fervor of the person, possibly referred to as a loved one, who is eager to journey to Mars. The next few lines speak to the hope of finding a new life on the said planet, a place where star battles don't exist. It's a hopeful idea, that by fleeing into the galaxy, we could escape the constant fighting and bickering on Earth.

In the next verse, the lyrics become a bit more introspective. There's a sense of wanting to chase after miracles, but at the same time, acknowledging the missed opportunities that may have passed us by. However, the singer makes it a point to stress that “we can make it,” and possibly indicates that despite the past, there’s still a possibility of realizing the dream of reaching Mars. The chorus repeats the same message of being able to make it and finding a new home where peace reigns.

I see you staring
I notice that you're gazing

At rockets in the sky
Looking up at the spacecrafts soaring above us

Firing the liquid
Expelling the fuel

Lightning on your eyes
Reflections from the fiery launch reflecting in your pupils

I think you know
I believe you understand

You can make it if you try
You can achieve anything with effort

We can make it to Mars
We can reach the Red Planet

Lead a fire in the dark
Guiding a flame through the unknown

Maybe find a place out in where
Possibly discover a location where

Stars don't try to blow each other up
Celestial bodies coexist peacefully

I see you waiting
I see you pausing
