blink-182 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look ill but I don't care about it
I can face your threats and
Stand up straight and tall and shout about it
I think I'm on another world with you
With you
I'm on another planet with you
You get under my skin
I don't find it irritating
You always play to win
But I won't need rehabilitating, oh no
I think I'm on another world with you
With you
I'm on another planet with you
With you
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travel's in my blood
There ain't nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out but
I know, I can't live without it oh no
I think I'm on another world with you
With you
I'm on another planet with you
With you
Another girl, who's loving you now
Another planet, who's holding you down
Another planet
The lyrics to blink-182's song Another Girl Another Planet convey a sense of detachment and disconnection from reality. The singer is someone who seems to be flirting with death, but instead of being scared, they don't care about it, and they can face any threats directed towards them. The singer also talks about being on another world or planet, which suggests that they feel disconnected from the people around them. They also mention being under someone's skin, but they don't find it irritating. This could be interpreted as a form of emotional detachment or a lack of empathy towards others. The singer also adds that they won't need rehabilitating, suggesting that they have a strong sense of self and can handle themselves on their own.
The repeated phrase "I think I'm on another world with you, with you I'm on another planet with you" highlights the singer's sense of disconnection from those around them. Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing for something that they can't have, and the repetition of the phrase conveys this sense of longing. The final lines of the song, "Another girl, who's loving you now, another planet, who's holding you down, another planet" suggest that the singer has lost someone they loved and feels disconnected from them.
