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
Blink 182's song "Another Girl Another Planet" is a mix of existentialism and romanticism. The lyrics describe the singer's fascination with death and his detached attitude towards his own mortality. He claims he can "flirt with death" without any fear, as he is convinced he is on a different planet, where he feels detached from the real world. The line "I'm on another planet with you" describes how he relates to someone he is in love with. He feels that they are both in a different realm, where they can be together without any hindrance from reality.
The song's lyrics deal with themes of escapism, disconnection, and love. The idea of being on another planet could be interpreted as a way to cope with life's struggles and the harsh realities of the world. The singer seems to be seeking a safe haven for himself and his lover where they can be together without any worries. The line "Another girl, who's loving you now, another planet, who's holding you down" suggests that the singer may have some insecurities about his relationship, but he still hopes that they can be together forever, even if it means being on a different planet.
