Meteorites Lyrics
Perseids lead us out to it
Remind me this, we’re kings that live
Both of us are leaving town when we get old enough
We’re moving on
We are gonna see greater heights
They’ll put our names up in neon light
Rolling volcanoes in the night
Glowing in the dark like meteorites
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites
Mama said they haven’t even seen nothin’ yet
Dont you forget
Lately you’ve been breathing fire in your sleep
I feel the heat
We are gonna see greater heights
They’ll put our names up in neon light
Rolling volcanoes in the night
Glowing in the dark like meteorites
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites
The greatest sights that I’ve ever seen
Anime eyes and big limousines
And maybe we sound young and naive
And maybe we just want to believe
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites
We are gonna see greater heights
They’ll put our names up in neon light
Rolling volcanoes in the night
Glowing in the dark like meteorites
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites
Remind me this, we’re kings that live
Both of us are leaving town when we get old enough
We’re moving on
They’ll put our names up in neon light
Rolling volcanoes in the night
Glowing in the dark like meteorites
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites
Dont you forget
Lately you’ve been breathing fire in your sleep
I feel the heat
They’ll put our names up in neon light
Rolling volcanoes in the night
Glowing in the dark like meteorites
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites
Anime eyes and big limousines
And maybe we sound young and naive
And maybe we just want to believe
We’re rolling like meteorites
They’ll put our names up in neon light
Rolling volcanoes in the night
Glowing in the dark like meteorites
We’re volcanoes in the night
We’re rolling like meteorites

Two interpretations from me:
1) I like to think this song's origins came from when Lights was a little kid. Evidence 1: Beginning (we're leaving town when we get old enough). Evidence 2: During the bridge (we sound young and naive). If you think about it, this is one of those "I'm gonna make it big one day, just wait and see" kind of songs. Maybe she had a best friend who thought the same way and this was their pick-me-up song as youngsters.
2) Similar to my first interpretation, but more spiritual-oriented. She's looking towards the heavens and wondering about her purpose on Earth. She is reminded that in time, she will be bright like those "rolling volcanoes" and "meteorites".
