Reviews for Drops of Jupiter Lyrics

For me, its a song a dedicate to a guy who has been my best friend for a couple years. He and I both fell in love with each other over time and when we finally decide to be together, he joins the Marines. I wonder if he thinks about me and still has the same feelings.. "Did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
"

The singer of Train said it came to him at night as he was getting to sleep. It is about his mother, who died from cancer. A truely beautiful message to her, for her.

But people quite rightly point out that there are multiple meanings to this song depending on who you are, and perhaps that was the singer's intentions.

For me it fits the situation with me and my girlfriend perfectly, we went out for almost a year, then broke up, neither of us know why, and we each had a year of self-discovery and experience. We got back together 4 months ago stronger than ever, the best thing that's ever happened to me. That is what this song means to me.

look this song can mean alot of things to people and thats all that madders. people could be wronge about it being a girl that left him or about his dead cancer mother. So really just love the lyrics and quit saying what it's about. It's the beauty of the lyrics not the story behind them

I have never felt d nid 2 coment on any song...but i cant help but talk about dis song.
This is 1 f d most beautful song i have heard in my life.
D performance & lyrics blew me away.
I think d song means difrent tins 2 difrnt piple.
But i have a feelin he was talkin about a girl dat he loves, dat took a brake from him 2 find herself.

I think that the beauty of music is that it means something differnet to each person who listens to it...therefore by analyzing it we ruin it completly. This a fabulous song and can mean whatever it wants to mean..that way it is much more beautiful....

to me this is one of the greatest songs of all time. why ever he wrote it.. his mum or a dream... i think it makes it a great song because eveyone can relate to the words on some level and the tune fits the lyrics great song

Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there’s time to change, hey, hey, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June........... eye opener everytime

Actually, Mr. Monahan wrote the first lines of the songs when it came to him in a dream. This is about a woman who leaves her man to find out if they belong together. Said Monahan: "This is a woman who's strong and has to find out who she is and a man willing to let her do that." Although this is the type of song which lends itself to personal interpretation, and is most often considered to be about a former lover, a young woman or just someone the writer knew who went on a voyage of self-discovery – not necessarily by traveling to distant lands – it was in fact inspired by something entirely different, the death of the composer's mother from cancer in December 1998. When they suffer personal tragedy, many people feel a closeness to their departed loved one. This is not a song about reincarnation as such, but about the idea that no one ever really leaves us.

i love this song its like the best evr its just so good that i culd cry and if anybody doesnt like it i dont no how their brain works they just dont make sense!!! i mean come on seriously y wuldnt sum1 like this song its awesome and evry1 can relate 2 it and i just dont get how not 2 mention names but i dont get how rachels mind works if she doesnt like it i just dont get this i need to go think about this 4 a whil brb

The song really is about the singers mom who died.
The first 2 lines of the song"Now that she's back in the atmosphere with drops of jupiter in her hair" are saying that she came back to him from heaven. Some of the other parts of the song are talking about what she missed out on. It even says "Did you see the lights all faded and that heaven is overrated. The writer also puts a lot of personal emotion into it like "told a story bout a man wo was too afraid to fly so he never did land" he's saying that he was waiting for his mom to come back because he couldn't let it go.
I LOVE THIS SONG!! 2 BAD HATAS!Yea

I don't think that this song is simply about a girl trying to find herself.
It seems to me that its about the man's girlfriend that leaves him for another woman.
"did Venus blow your mind, was it everything you wanted to find" , Venus meaning "women".
it seems like some of the phrases he says mean "something different" or something rare.
when he says "Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
Conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me" it means can you imagine life without normal things ? because to him, a woman with another woman isnt part of normal life.

I think it's about this guy and the love of his life leaves him, then she returns but she is different because she has picked up bits and pieces of personality traits (drops of jupiter) so he refuses her because he knows he will only get his heart broken.

I don't see this relating to his mom. as deep and sad as that idea is, i truly believe this song is about a girl who left him to go and find herself.
The Lines: "Since the return from her stay on the moon she listens like spring and she talks like June" and "Now that she’s back from that soul vacation" likely means his ex coming back after some soul searching.
"Did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded, And that heaven is overrated" asks if she saw how where she wanted to go was as much as she believed it was before she left.
"Now that she’s back in the atmosphere
I’m afraid that she might think of me as plain ol jane" most likely means that after being in 'heaven' for a while he's afraid that he won't be good enough for her anymore.
"did you fall for a shootings star, one without a permanent scar" meaning a better guy,
"Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong" obviously her best friend defending her side when the two of them fought about something, even when she is wrong.
and of course, "And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there" likely asking if she thought about him while she was finding herself in heaven.
Of course with such an amazing and vauge song as this, it very well could mean something cometely different and this is just one guy's interpritation. either way, translations aside, this is an incredible song.

i love this song.
its about his mom who died.

my favorite line is... did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there...

its not about love or a girl trying to find herself.
i think its just his way of saying how he felt when his mom died.

hella sad

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you, even when I know you’re wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone
