Supernova
Ansel Elgort Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴I feel like Atlas, I got my back stressed
You wanna grab this, you don't understand this
I keep it oppressed, work on my realness
Reading my manifest, I'll address your request

I've been waking up drenched in sweat
All my dreams, full of my regret (my regret)
I keep hearing what my mother said

Eyes are open, all I see is red

I met you in California
You told me you loved him in Georgia
Your heart's in the ground, frozen over
My heart's in the sky, supernova

I met you in California
You told me you loved him in Georgia
Your heart's in the ground, frozen over
My heart's in the sky, supernova

Look overhead at the stars and the ocean
Foggy emotions, moments, erosion
This supernova could cause a commotion
My minds of the notion, you'll still be my motive

I've been, I've been so fucked in my head
I've been going through phases, I'm just going through phases
Don't know what this craze is, oh (when's the last time someone said shit?)
Walking through your mazes, oh oh (when's the last time someone meant it?)

I've been waking up drenched in sweat
All my dreams full of my regret (my regret)
I keep hearing what my mother said
Eyes are open all I see is red

I met you in California
You told me you loved him in Georgia
Your heart's in the ground, frozen over
My heart's in the sky, supernova

I met you in California
You told me you loved him in Georgia
Your heart's in the ground, frozen over
My heart's in the sky, supernova

I met you in California
You told me you loved him in Georgia
Your heart's in the ground, frozen over
My heart's in the sky, supernova

I met you in California
You told me you loved him in Georgia

Your heart's in the ground, frozen over
My heart's in the sky, supernova


Overall Meaning

Ansel Elgort's song Supernova is an emotional rollercoaster that talks about the ups and downs of a relationship. The song begins with the artist feeling burdened and overwhelmed, like Atlas with his back stretched. He is aware that people want to be with him, but they do not fully understand him, and he is constantly working on his personal growth, reading his manifest, and addressing other people's requests. The chorus talks about his encounter with a girl in California, who confessed her love for another man in Georgia, and despite the distance, he still harbors feelings for her. He feels like his heart is in the sky, like a supernova, while hers is in the ground, frozen over.


In the second verse, Ansel reveals that he has been going through some rough times and is just going through phases. He is confused about what he is feeling, and he does not know what the craze is. He is lost in her mazes, but he is willing to follow her, as she is still his motive. The bridge talks about the beauty of the stars and the ocean and how a supernova could cause a commotion. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, as Ansel struggles to come to terms with his feelings, knowing that she is not his, but still longing to be with her.


Overall, the song talks about the complexities of love and how it can mess with our heads, but despite everything, we still cannot help but love the people we love.
