I always flirt with death
I could kill, but I don’t care about it
I can face your threats
Stand up tall and scream and shout about it
I think I’m on another world with you (with you)
I’m on another planet with you (with you)
You always get under my skin
I don’t find it irritating
You always play to win
I don’t need rehabilitating
I think I’m on another world with you (with you)
I’m on another planet with you (with you)
Another girl, another planet
Another girl, another planet
Space travel’s in my blood
And there ain’t nothing I can do about it
Long journeys wear me out but
Oh god you know we won’t live without it
I think I’m on another world with you (with you)
I’m on another planet with you (with you)
I think I’m on another world with you (with you)
I’m on another planet with you (with you)
Another girl is loving you now
Another planet, forever holding you down
Another planet
Exploring Escapism and Emotional Turbulence
Blink-182’s rendition of “Another Girl, Another Planet” transforms the original’s restless energy into a pop-punk anthem of longing and adventure. The lyrics speak to the intoxicating feeling of being with someone who transports you out of your everyday existence, to another world entirely. Flirting with danger and emotional extremes, the narrator confesses both a sense of thrill and vulnerability. The repeated motif of being on “another planet” with someone captures that heady, otherworldly sensation of new love or obsession, where reality blurs and personal boundaries dissolve. Themes of escapism, romantic intensity, and the struggle to let go are all woven throughout, with space travel metaphors amplifying the sense of infinite possibility and inevitable heartache.
