Starship 92
iamjakehill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Falling down, I wonder if I'll burnout when I hit the bottom
Everyday I'm swimming through the galaxy, I feel the heat
The sun is shining through the blinds and washing over me
I see the giants waving me on over
Do I stay or move on closer?
I don't know, I don't know
Still a long way from the Ozone
I don't even know, now
Alone in the dark
How did I make it this far?
I guess I wandered off track
I'll try to find my way back
'Cause I got more time to kill
Unless it kills me first
I hope to heal the Earth
But I need healing first
You know, it's hard to breathe sometimes
I don't have the guidance
To find the way to sunshine
Breaking through the silence
It's hard to breathe sometimes
I don't have the guidance
To find the way to sunshine
Breaking through the silence
Okay, I got time to float along until I reach the water
Falling down, I wonder if I'll burnout when I hit the bottom
Everyday I'm swimming through the galaxy, I feel the heat
The sun is shining through the blinds and washing over me
I see the giants waving me on over
Do I stay or move on closer?
I don't know, I don't know
Still a long way from the Ozone
Coming up, coming down
I don't even know, now
Don't take my uncertainty for weakness
I'm good at keeping secrets but I could never lie
You would see it in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes, in my eyes
On my way, drift all day
New universe with new terrain
I'm putting in the work
It's all the same, the same ol' rain
That hits my window
My ship is running empty, lay my head upon my pillow
Contemplate it's never simple
Contemplate it's never simple
Contemplate it's never simple
Contemplate it's never simple
Okay, I got time to float along until I reach the water
Falling down, I wonder if I'll burnout when I hit the bottom
Everyday I'm swimming through the galaxy, I feel the heat
The sun is shining through the blinds and washing over me
I see the giants waving me on over
Do I stay or move on closer?
I don't know, I don't know
Still a long way from the Ozone
Coming up, coming down
I don't even know, now
The lyrics of Iamjakehill's song Starship 92 depict someone who is lost and searching for direction. The singer takes solace in floating along, unsure of their destination. They describe swimming through the galaxy, feeling the heat of the sun. The giants mentioned could be a metaphor for people or beings who are trying to lead them in a certain direction. The singer is unsure whether to heed their guidance or continue on their own path. They admit uncertainty but reject any notion that it is a weakness. They are ready to put in the work to find their way, but acknowledge that the journey is never simple.
In its entirety, Starship 92 appears to be an ode to overthinking, searching for direction, and finding oneself alone in the world. The song's tone is wistful, with echoes and otherworldly sounds setting a space-like motif. The lyrics’ themes explore the complexity of being human and all the struggles that come with it, including the need to find one's way, to heal, to find guidance, and to navigate the unknown. Despite its heavy themes, the song's ending is open-ended; the singer is still lost, and their future remains uncertain.

@Slethion
Hey man, I just want to thank you, your music got me through the toughest times.
I was dealing with a lot. Almost gave up on life.
Found counseling, but the only true thing that kept me going were your words.
Somehow I didnt feel alone having someone who felt like me.
You are awsome my friend!
I always just go through hours and hours of your songs, going through so many diferent moods and styles.
Never stop doing what you do! I am truly thankful!
@BendigoNoble
I have no idea where I would be if I didn't come across him. The countless nights where I would just drive for hours listening to all his songs and it just kept me going through the the roughest of times.
@rgbeamer
