to me, this song is about friendships that fade away (we are a rocket that fell out of orbit). Sometimes, friendships fade and it's not anyone's fault (we couldn't stop it, we couldn't control it), the spark dies. We ride a train and get off at our stop ( we ran a good course, it was a good flight...). We are all people that pass through other people's lives, but this song sounds like the singer has come to peace with that. The acoustic one sounds like the break up was more recent
@Stevintage youve helped me look at friendship in a whole new way, its not about having friends that are guna be there forever, its also about meeting new and even losing old friends. thanks man, for opening my eyes
Does anybody like ever think about how tiny our existence is? but like, we still manage to make such big changes, "we are rockets in the sky, we are planets in the sky." I don't know, i just love it(:
@nataliev95: knew about her before BMTH. I think its sorta ironic how people like me, and I'm guessing you, like music with screaming, and then also really soft music with good singing.
@TheUFOeffect yea i think its good for people 2 like a variety of stuff i practically have 2 beg my friends 2 be more open minded and listen 2 different types of music. wish there were more people like us who can appreciate all sorts of music genres
@nataliev95 your right! My friends would hear the first few sings and then be like ew this sounds gay -.-.... and Im like wtf ? You didnt hear anything lol
This reminds me of Rose and the Doctor. If you haven't watched Doctor Who (specifically the first and second seasons with the ninth and tenth doctors) basically Rose got trapped in a different dimension, and the Doctor had to leave her behind. She had her family but he was left to travel the universe alone.
@DeanCharlie03 And you discovered that this was even BETTER than a cover! Right? Because otherwise, there was basically no reason whatsoever to comment. :D
I think that this song means that in life, we are just like rockets. We live for a moment, but as time passes, we disappear. We pass by all of the problems and subjects, but we never really stop to think about them. But we appear again, always in people's hearts. We don't want people to grieve for us, we want them to live their life; to ride the rocket. This song shows that we are human.
i bought the itunes version first. so iv known this song for over a year. then i buy the album, and find that this song isnt on the album. man.... but i saw her live perfomances of up up and away, and she explains as to why this song isnt on the physical album.
this reminds me of my boyfriend, and the day he moved away. i woke up the next morning and called his number but it was changed, so i was puzzled, and to this day i still dont know where he is or why he forgot about me, but this song really helped me move on.
@shushu3399 what's the point, he obviously was too big of a scaredy-cat asshole to even break up with her in a nice way, she's probably got a better guy now anyway.
@funnykittenz1 i knowww this is 6 monthss laterrr but youuur post is the toppp and i saw it, and :( im soo sorry and i m gladddd bthat t helped youu :)
@InuYashaOwswari2 i know, i saw her in the ritz theatre in ybor city on the lights/ owl city tour. i got to go backstage and meet her! :D she is very friendly.
Whoever the ten people are that disliked this song.. well they were obviously deaf. This is such a good song; the whole melody of it is just so inspirational and awesome.
The universe wasnt fucking sung into being...thats just some lame poetry crap. lights is a great artist but that stupid cheesy comment pisses me of if he seriously believes the univers was sung into being.
lights is beyond amazing. i wouldve written a looong message about how much i love her, but i will just sum it all up: lights is the ost heavenly and inspirational and THE MOST talented artist ever. this song made me sing into my celery while eating it.
@dancinghardcore if you look on the website and into the forums, search 'lights sheet music' and some people have posted it :) i dont think anyone's posted this song, but maybe they will soon :) ive already gotten a few songs down on piano! :D
@dancinghardcore haha, ohh my gosh. definately with yeah there! she should post her sheet music :) :). id start spending all my guitar time trying to learn her songs
