Galaxies
Veirs Laura Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you sing
When you sing
Stars fill up my eyes

Galaxies
Pour down my cheeks
Galaxiesâ?¦
They flood the street
Galaxies

When we dance
When we dance
Eels and sea grass float on by

I'm ten thousand leagues
Beneath the sea
I'm ten thousand leaguesâ?¦
Beneath the green
Ten thousand leagues

When we kiss
When we kiss
Bears and boulders vibrate through the air

Gravity
Is dead you see
No gravity
All I need
Is beating red
No gravity

No gravity (no, no, no, no, no, no, no gravity)
No gravity (no, no, no, no, no, no, no gravity)




No gravity (no, no, no, no, no, no, no gravity)
No gravity (no, no, no, no, no, no, no gravity)

Overall Meaning

The song "Galaxies" by Laura Veirs is a beautiful tribute to the power of love and the overwhelming emotions it can generate. The song begins with the line "When you sing," which sets the tone for the rest of the song. As the singer hears the object of her love singing, she feels as though she is surrounded by stars and galaxies. The first verse compares the experience of being with her loved one to the feeling of being immersed in the beauty of the cosmos.


The second verse continues this sense of immersion, but shifts the focus to dancing. As the two dance together, the singer feels as though she is deep beneath the sea, surrounded by eels and sea grass. This image emphasizes the idea that love is something vast and all-encompassing, which can transport us to another world entirely.


The final verse takes the intensity of the song's emotion to a new level. As the two kiss, the singer feels as though the entire world around them is vibrating with the power of their love. This is emphasized by the line "Gravity is dead you see," which suggests that the laws of physics have been suspended by the raw emotional power of their connection. The repetition of the phrase "no gravity" at the end of the song emphasizes the sense of weightlessness that comes with this kind of intense emotional experience.


Overall, "Galaxies" is a powerful and evocative song that captures the intensity of love and the way it can transport us into other worlds entirely.

Galáxias

Quando você canta, quando você canta
As estrelas enchem meus olhos
Galáxias derramam-se por minhas bochechas
Galáxias ... eles inundam a rua
Galáxias

Quando dançamos, quando dançamos
Enguias flutuam por uma mar de grama
Estou 10.000 léguas abaixo do mar
10.000 léguas abaixo do verde ...
10.000 léguas

Quando nós nos beijamos, quando nos beijamos
Ursos e pedregulhos vibrar pelo ar
A gravidade morrerá você verá
Sem gravidade ... tudo que eu preciso está batendo vermelho
Sem gravidade ...

i truly dont understand why this song doesnt have 100 million plays...this SHOULD have made you a star. it's perfect.

@twinklybubblybits

Cause mainstream is blissfully ignorant- real lyrics and creative beats/melodies are too complex for them to appreciate. They’ll catch up hopefully lol

@lilaccilla

Agree

@twinklybubblybits

The best are always underrated and underestimated

@Crimsontiger133

Found this after watching "Coherence" a very good movie and a very good song.

@rohanmiscrits

loved the movie!

@019Dav

Everything was said with this comment

@alexanderochoa701

Verdad que es una hermosa canción

@theiosif3632

Ditto. I watched it on Amazon Prime, so I'm kind of a big deal around here.

@glass4breakfast

hell yes! Coherence was great!!! (so was the song obviously, that's why I'm here) anyway at first it made me think of that Twilight Zone episode "The Monsters are due on Maple Street" (which is one of my favorite classic episodes) but than it reminded me more of the underground low budget indie film "Primer". and of course I have to mention the fucking cartoon show ever: Rick & Morty!!! because it also reminded me of that a lot, specifically the episode "Love Potion #9" where they destroy their original version of earth n go to another alternate dimension n replace the alt versions of themselves after they die in an accident n have to go bury their own bodies in the back yard! goddamn I love that show! lol
n this really was a interesting cool different kind of movie, i really enjoyed it.
