Song Meaning of “Space Invaders” by Wild Wax Combo
“Space Invaders” by Wild Wax Combo is a song about conquering self-doubt, facing opponents head-on, and embracing our own individuality. The lyrics speak of facing a struggle, of being as brave as possible, and of not backing down. The repeated chorus speaks of our internalized enemies, the ones we need to confront in order to find out true selves: “Space Invaders, can’t escape their advance/ Got to stand up and fight, these enemies I can’t outrun/ Got to stay true and brave, and find my identity/ Won’t be defined by their invasions”.
The song is an anthem for anyone who has ever felt alone, out of place, or different. It celebrates our differences, and the importance of resilience in the face of adversity. Taking our individual power and making the most of it is key, and no one can take away our identities. As the Wild Wax Combo sings, “all of us together, stand united you will see”. Here’s to standing our ground and facing our space invaders, our adversaries, bravely and boldly!
