Watching the Planets Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Gabesnake 

Cover art for Watching the Planets lyrics by Flaming Lips, The

It seems that this song is about watching the planets, all of outer space at night and realizing just how small and unimportant we are on the grand scale of things. It is lucky that we exist in this universe, and we must embrace it. "Killing the ego" refers ridding your mind of stupid shit such as religion, as the "burning the bible" line refers to. It's saying simply love yourself and the fact that you exist, because life is short and amazing.
