The title of the song most likely refers to Yuri Gagarin, a soviet cosmonaut famous for being the first human ever to journey into outer space. Indeed, the lyrics continuously make references to elements of the outer space (Earth, galaxy, asteroid).
[Intro]
My life to something
Something bigger than me
I gave
[Verse 1]
I wish I could dedicate my life
My life to something bigger
Something bigger than me
The Earth ever spins on its axis
I'm spinning in echopraxis
My life does not belong to me
[Chorus]
I gave my life to something
Something bigger than me
[Verse 2]
The galaxy's a broken mirror
Slowly, the asteroid gets nearer
My strife does not belong to me
[Bridge]
For that big blue bold
I'll let go
For the gold metal
Surrender
[Chorus]
My life to something
Something bigger than me
I give my life to something
Something bigger than me
[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
