“Space Cadet” by Beabadoobee – A Song Feature


     You say, I don't write happy songs/ So I guess this is the first one” tells us much about Beabadoobee. It is a line in her song “Space Cadet,” which is not an upbeat melody. In fact, the first verse ends, “And if you look me in the eyes, you'll see that I don't care.”

     Beabadoobee is the performance name of 19-year-old Beatrice Kristi Laus, who lived in the Philippines until her family moved to London when she was three.

Lyrics of “Space Cadet” by Beabadoobee
Feeling shit again
Haven't left my bed
Never brush my hair
And if you look me in the eyes, you'll see that I don't care

You don't seem to understand
This candy floss made spacecraft
Took the dirt out from my brain
Threw them out to outer space

Through the Milky Way
Past the morning sun
Pluto is light years away
And all our worries, they're all gone

Let loose, we live only for a little while
In hindsight, we'll die anyways
Extraterrestrial beings probably sittin' tight
Waiting to blow our brains away

Through the Milky Way
Past the morning sun
Pluto is light years away
And all our worries, they're all gone

So quit being so negative
It's fine, don't be a temporary fix
You say, I don't write happy songs
So I guess this is the first one

Through the Milky Way
Past the morning sun
Pluto is light years away
And all our worries, they're all gone
