Description
How it happens: you're driving down empty streets at night, the radio crackling, your thoughts somewhere between the make-up bag on the seat and the empty rear-view mirror. Everything seems fine, loneliness has long been tamed and is even almost cosy. But suddenly - a flash. Like a meteor splitting the sky to remind you that life can still surprise and throw you off course.
This moment is bright, uninvited, unplanned. It takes your breath away, burns you and disappears faster than you can blink. All that remains is smoke in the darkness and the feeling that your heart has either been torn apart or restarted. Beautiful, painful, inevitable - like everything that happens suddenly and at the most inopportune moment.

Lyrics and translation
Original
I wasn't lookin', I wasn't tryin' to be found
Redo my makeup, scan through radio stations, pull the car around
I wasn't waitin', thought I was better off alone
She lift my heart neglected dancing, overgrown
That's when
You came in hot like a meteorite
You came in burnin', you were just my type
You came in racin' 'cross the sky at night
And then you were gone before I saw the light
I wasn't lookin', I wasn't waitin' for a sign
Saw somethin' glimmer in the rearview mirror, turn the car around
So I looked for you on the blank streets if LA
And I held my breath, hopin' to get a taste
And that's when
And that's when
You came in hot like a meteorite
You came in burnin', you were just my type
You came in racin' 'cross the sky at night
And then you were gone before I saw the light
Blowin' smoke out of starless sky
Only a woman could break your heart, blow your mind
All in one night
Meteorite
Meteorite
You came in hot like a meteorite
You came in burnin', you were just my type
You came in racin' 'cross the sky at night
And then you were gone before I saw the light
And then you were gone before I saw the light
And then you were gone before I saw the light
