Vigilantes Of Love & Vigilantes Of Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And step forth into this good night
Yeah your lips were so soft and our eyes were so closed
And we bathed in the halogen glow
You empty your pockets and sort out your change
Of the things you picked up along the way
With this wind at our feet and the sun on our face
She said I'll show you a room but I don't have the key
But then I love traveling light
And if you let go your burdens and hold onto me
Well we're both gonna be alright
Now this you should keep but that one you don't need
There's no need to ever push or shove
And this makes the stars shine through the galaxy
It's the stuff that dreams they are made of
Both gonna be both gonna be both
Both gonna be both gonna be alright
The lyrics of "Galaxy" by Vigilantes of Love paint a vivid picture of being in the moment, embracing the cold darkness of the night, and finding solace and comfort in the presence of a loved one. The opening lines suggest a sense of protection as the singer urges someone to put on their coat and face the bitter cold. They are encouraged to venture into the night, where their lips were soft and their eyes were closed, immersed in the warm glow of halogen lights.
The second verse suggests a sense of letting go and embracing simplicity. The act of emptying pockets and sorting change symbolizes shedding unnecessary baggage and material possessions acquired throughout life's journey. The wind at their feet and the sun on their face provide a sense of freedom and endless possibilities. The belief that they can walk all the way reflects the optimism and determination to overcome any obstacles.
The chorus introduces a conversation between two individuals. One person offers to show a room but doesn't have the key, emphasizing a lack of physical possessions. However, they value traveling light and encourage the other person to let go of burdens and trust in their companionship. This mutual support and trust are believed to lead to a positive outcome – they will be both alright.
The final lines of the song reinforce the message of unity and shared strength. It suggests that by keeping what is essential and discarding what is unnecessary, they can make the stars shine through the galaxy. The "stuff that dreams are made of" refers to the intangible and meaningful elements that truly matter in life.

Put on your coat when it's bitter and cold
Prepare yourself for difficult times and challenges
And step forth into this good night
Face the darkness and uncertainties with courage
Yeah your lips were so soft and our eyes were so closed
In moments of intimacy, we cherished the closeness and shut out the world
And we bathed in the halogen glow
We immersed ourselves in the artificial brightness and allure
You empty your pockets and sort out your change
You evaluate what you have gained along your journey
Of the things you picked up along the way
The possessions and experiences that have become a part of you
With this wind at our feet and the sun on our face
Embracing the freedom of movement and the warmth of hope
I believe we can walk all the way
Having faith that we can overcome any obstacles we encounter
She said I'll show you a room but I don't have the key
Offering guidance but lacking the ultimate solution
But then I love traveling light
Preferring to carry minimal baggage and attachments
And if you let go your burdens and hold onto me
By releasing your troubles and relying on my support
Well we're both gonna be alright
We will find solace and safety together
Now this you should keep but that one you don't need
Discerning what is truly valuable and what can be discarded
There's no need to ever push or shove
No requirement for force or aggression
And this makes the stars shine through the galaxy
This quality illuminates and beautifies the universe
It's the stuff that dreams they are made of
It represents the essence and foundation of dreams
Both gonna be both gonna be both
Together, we will both find safety and peace
Both gonna be both gonna be alright
We will overcome and thrive
