Mars
pinkshift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To whom should I pay my respects
For broken dreams none the less
You'll light a cigarette or two
To watch my lungs turn black and blue

Cherry vodka, sweet red lips
I would sure love a cherry kiss from you
Inhale that smoke, breathe in those stars
Until we leave for the planet
Leave for the planet Mars

I'm not sure how long you'll last up here
Pretty boy, oh what will we do with you
Tell me what you want from here
And I'll bring it for you
I'll bring it for you

Tell me, tell me
And I'll bring it for you
Tell me, tell me
And I'll bring it for you

In a spaceship we're not too far
It'll only be a moment
Or a couple of years to go to Mars
Who care's when time's gonna stop

Wait a minute I see a shooting star
Make a wish before it disappears
Just a second, it's not that far
I think the stars are closer from up here
(Closer from up here)

I'm not sure how long you'll last up here
Pretty boy, oh what will we do with you
Tell me what you want from here
And I'll bring it for you
I'll bring it for you

I'm not sure how long you'll last up here
Pretty boy, oh what will we do with you
Tell me what you want from here
And I'll bring it for you
I'll bring it for you





Bring it for you
I'll bring it for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Mars" by Pinkshift is about escaping the broken dreams of everyday life and running away to start anew. The lyrics express a desire to leave behind the monotony and routine of everyday life and escape to a new world on Mars. The chorus emphasizes this desire, stating that the singer will bring anything their partner wants from Earth to make their new life on Mars comfortable. The song's verses describe smoking and drinking while considering the beauty of the stars and planets.


The opening two lines "To whom should I pay my respects for broken dreams none the less" suggest that the singer is disillusioned with their life and seeking to escape it. They feel as though their dreams have been shattered, and there is no one to blame or hold accountable, so they are uncertain who to address. The following line "You'll light a cigarette or two, to watch my lungs turn black and blue" may hint at the self-destructive nature of the singer's lifestyle, or it could represent toxic relationships that are holding them back. The line "Cherry vodka, sweet red lips, I would sure love a cherry kiss from you" creates a sense of intrigue, suggesting a potential romantic interest and emphasizing the desire to leave behind and start a new life.


The song's imagery is vivid and creates a sense of escapism. The idea of leaving Earth for the unknown world of Mars is a metaphor for leaving behind problems and starting anew. This desire runs throughout the song, and the singer's willingness to bring anything their partner wants suggests a desire for a fresh start without romantic complications.


Line by Line Meaning

To whom should I pay my respects
I am uncertain who to honor for my shattered dreams


For broken dreams none the less
My aspirations have been thwarted, nevertheless


You'll light a cigarette or two
You'll ignite a couple of cigarettes


To watch my lungs turn black and blue
To witness my respiratory organs become discolored and bruised


Cherry vodka, sweet red lips
Sipping cherry vodka and indulging your lovely red lips


I would sure love a cherry kiss from you
I would adore being kissed by you, tasting flavors of cherry


Inhale that smoke, breathe in those stars
Breathe in the smoke and inhale the stars


Until we leave for the planet
Until we depart for another world


Leave for the planet Mars
Embark on a journey to the red planet, Mars


I'm not sure how long you'll last up here
I'm not aware of how long you'll endure being up here


Pretty boy, oh what will we do with you
Handsome lad, what shall we do with you?


Tell me what you want from here
Inform me of your desires while we're here


And I'll bring it for you
I'll fetch it for you


Tell me, tell me
Please speak up, enlighten me


In a spaceship we're not too far
We're in a spacecraft not too distant from where we began


It'll only be a moment
It won't take long


Or a couple of years to go to Mars
Perhaps a few years to reach planet Mars


Who care's when time's gonna stop
Who cares when time ceases to exist


Wait a minute I see a shooting star
Hold on a moment, I spotted a falling star


Make a wish before it disappears
Quick, make a wish before it vanishes


Just a second, it's not that far
Just a moment, it's not too distant from us


I think the stars are closer from up here
I think the stars are nearer when viewed from up here


I'll bring it for you
I'll fetch it for you


Bring it for you
Fetch it for you


I'm not sure how long you'll last up here
I'm not sure how long you can endure while being up here


Pretty boy, oh what will we do with you
Handsome lad, what actions can we take with you?


Tell me what you want from here
Please share your desires with me while we're here
