Nicki Minaj: Starships Meaning

Song Released: 2012



Starships Lyrics

Let's go to the beach, each
Let's go get away
They say, what are they gonna say?
Have a drink, click, found the Bud Light
Bad Bitches like me, is hard to come by
The Partron, on, let's go get it on
The zone, on, yes I'm in the zone
Is it...

    I personally think starships are probably E-pills (MDMA, etc). And by "meant to fly", she is refering to taking them and getting high. I think the chorus ultimately refers to partying (at a club) and the "lets do this one more time" probably means popping another pill, which then segways into the "we're higher than a motherlover" and techno-ish breakdown. I would put money on this being the meaning

    You are extremely gullible if you believe this song has any other meaning besides being at a party and getting high.

    Just read the lyrics, she is outright saying that she is at a club and she is going to blow her money away (reason why she wont be able to pay her rent).
    She is starting with drinks and moves on to drugs. Doing it one more time is for taking another pill, to me it is ecstasy but it could be something else. There is alot of "rave" feel to her party and that is probably choice numero uno at raves.(or at least used to be)

    The only connection between this song and starships is the fact they are "high" in the sky, unless starship became a name for an old or new drug that i am not aware of :P

    I wouldnt say most artists hide the meaning of their songs because they are so god damn obvious now, but they just put a thin cover over it so it can be played on radio stations during the day and not banned.
    Another prime example of the garbage that is played on radio stations now adays... at least it is catchy :P

    Follow you dreams, don't be shy, and hang out at clubs a lot.

    P.S.
    BTW I don't get it when people say "illuminati" I know what it is but WTHeck does this song have to do with the illuminati? My conclusion is that people make random assumptions and like being silly........

    me 2 :D

    "Starships were meant to fly"-
    I guess nicki is referring to shy people as starships. So then shy people are meant to show what they got and let their inner-self shine as a talented human being.

    "Hands up and touch the sky"-
    nicki is telling you to put your hands up and she will help you touch the sky. So I guess that a lot of people find nicki minaj as an inspiration and that they should work hard and follow their dreams, sorta like what nicki did.

    ;)

    This song has no meaning at all. It's just about getting high and partying. But isn't that (for the most part) what all the popular music is about? Like seriously there are so many songs out there that actually mean something. And then people wonder why we(teens) do bad things. It's what the media is setting us to think is 'cool'. Just like smoking back then, when they used to put a hot celebrity smoking cigarettes just so you'd thing it was cool. sorry i know this isn't a proper interpretation but i just had to rant. Hope you all don't mind.

    What nicki is trying to get at here, is that everyone has a dream and everyone should go and follow their dream! She's also saying to just have fun!

    Coke heads refer to using cocaine as blasting off, hence the starship reference.

    DUUH you guys, the song is about sex. "starships are meant to fly" she means cum and it will fly. "hands up and touch the sky" put your hands up let me hold you. "can't stop cuz we're so high" high from love, and "let's do this one more time" another round of flying starships. then more sex-relevant lyrics are found in the song. plus the video starts with people all covered in some kind of gooey-white stuff. Cum anyone?

    I Agree With The Illuminati Comment. I Encourage Everyone Do Some Research On It. These Song And Videos Are Meant To Fill Your Head With Drugs And Sex and Most Importantly Leading You Away From God.

    I am the very model of a modern Major-General
    I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral
    I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical
    From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical

    I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical
    I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical
    About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news
    With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse

    With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
    With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
    With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotepotenuse

    I'm very good at integral and differential calculus
    I know the scientific names of beings animalculous
    In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
    I am the very model of a modern Major-General

    In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
    He is the very model of a modern Major-General

    I know our mythic history, King Arthur's and Sir Caradoc's
    I answer hard acrostics, I've a pretty taste for paradox
    I quote in elegiacs all the crimes of Heliogabalus
    In conics I can floor peculiarities parabolous

    I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies
    I know the croaking chorus from the Frogs of Aristophanes
    Then I can hum a fugue of which I've heard the music's din afore
    And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore

    And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore
    And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinafore
    And whistle all the airs from that infernal nonsense Pinapinafore

    Then I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform
    And tell you ev'ry detail of Caractacus's uniform
    In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
    I am the very model of a modern Major-General

    In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
    He is the very model of a modern Major-General

    In fact, when I know what is meant by "mamelon" and "ravelin"
    When I can tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin
    When such affairs as sorties and surprises I'm more wary at
    And when I know precisely what is meant by "commissariat"

    When I have learnt what progress has been made in modern gunnery
    When I know more of tactics than a novice in a nunnery
    In short, when I've a smattering of elemental strategy
    You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee

    You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee
    You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a gee
    You'll say a better Major-General had never sat a sat a gee

    For my military knowledge, though I'm plucky and adventury
    Has only been brought down to the beginning of the century
    But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
    I am the very model of a modern Major-General

    But still, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral
    He is the very model of a modern Major-General

    Yes, Drugs.... However I think it's specifically about cocaine, and not E. The reference "blow up my money"... "blow" is a reference to Cocaine (in case you didn't know that).

    I think Starships is a metaphor for her huge ass!!! Her butt looks like it's been blown up just for this video!!! If you look at all other videos her ass is not nearly as big!!! I think it's a spoof on her ass!

    For the people who want to know the starship is your dreams as in you and your dreams were ment to fly as in you were ment to be someone.
    "Twinkle Twinkle" is about coming out and being who you are.
    "Not paying rent" is about following your dreams no matter what they are or what the cost.
    "The Club" Stands for her dream as in the place where she makes her dreams fly.
    Not every song is about drugs and getting high.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    A starship is a relationship between two superstars. "are meant to fly" means those relationships aint grounded like "normal people" they are full of controversies and stuff. "High" in this context doesnt mean on drugs it means...can it mean anything else. Considering this is Nicki strike that...the song's definately about ex

    I think this song is also about sex other than drugs and getting high. She says 'let's go to to the beach each, let's go get a wave' you make waves when you have sex. Then she say something about fucking whoever you want.

    my prediction is that she is trying to say that we are starships as a metaphor when she says 'starships wre mean't to fly hand up and touch the sky'I think she is reffering to the slang way of say were supposed to be drunk and high on drugs and then she says another thing'were higher than a mother f*cker' this mean that when a mother f*cker is having sex he must be high or in other words drunk or on drug if my prediction is wrong i will say now I am only 10yrs old thank you
