The Astronaut
the wild wild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw I saw the earth in color last night
It changed it changed to technicolor from black and white!
And if you could hear these stars singing oh oh oh oh
And if you could hear these stars singing you would know

It feels like heaven's not far away when you're living in outerspace !heaven's not far away
It feels like heaven's not far away when you're living in outerspace !heaven's not far away
I saw I saw you swimming in the sky with fireflys
I dreamed I dreamed of you bathed in light with starry eyes

And If you could feel the fire burning in my soul And if you could feel the fire burning you would know
It feels like heaven's not far away
Whey you're living in outerspace ! heaven's not far away
It feels like heaven's not far away! Whey you're living in outerspace
heaven's not far away

And the sky is not empty it full of life and you're not just a blink in space and time and if you we're wondering where's your sign... Oh

Just take a look into the deep black night and there's a billion blazing satellites staring back at you with big bright eyes




singing... Oh
""you're not to late you're just in time""

I have a lot of people ask me "what made you write Astro ... what is it about?" The art of music is that it means one thing to me but so many other things to other people... for me it was about knowing i was on a journey like an astronaut but I wasn't where I wanted to be... I wanted to be in space... I wanted to do what astronauts do.. me saying im in the ocean means i felt I was somwhere I didn't belong.. but I knew I was close to finding myself as an artist and getting the recognition I wanted from people about my music.. also "whatchu know about rolling down in the deep actually meant what do you know about being down in life and depressed.. i was kind of saying.. have you been similar to me and my down time.. have you been in the rough and the trenches.. some people also say why is the video not in the ocean.. well because I have found my spot in the world.. i know who I am with my music now.. so i'm not in the ocean.. i'm now in space.. where I belong... 2021 gonna be even bigger :) peace
