"'Rockets' is an ode to my obsession with space and all things intergalactic - X Files, Ancient Aliens, Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan - I never felt like I fit anywhere growing up, and so I daydreamed about ETs, black holes, the end of the world. The track is kind of a metaphor for the journeys you take in life that test your limits, and the people (including, sometimes, yourself) who mislead and disappoint you, leave you drifting..."
lyrics
Hope is a false prophet
Visions of spirits we're haunted
Saw something landed on the moon
Oh man let's get up there real soon
Heart sick and you know you want it
Heart sick and you know we're loaded
Flipping cars we'll burn it
Getting high on your rockets
TV screens are humming
They tell us to stay inside
You point your finger towards the sun
Said we've only just begun
Heart sick and you know you want it
Heart sick and you know we're loaded
Flipping cars we'll burn it
Getting high on your rockets
On your rockets, rockets
Getting high on your rockets, your rockets
Getting high on your rockets, rockets
Getting high on your rockets, rockets
Getting high on your rockets, rockets
Getting high on your rockets, no... don't
When you got lost you, got lost you, lost your mind
When you got lost you, got lost you, let us die
When you got lost you, got lost you
When you got lost you, got lost you, lost your mind
When you got lost you, got lost you, lost your mind
When you got lost you, got lost you
