134340 Pluto is the last song on Cojum Dip's album, Cojum Dip, written by Bora Karaca.

The title refers to the minor-planet designation of Pluto.

Song meaning/interpretation

The song describes how the dwarf planet Pluto feels hated and betrayed, after being reclassified as a dwarf planet. In the bridge, it is explained that because of the discovery of Eris, another dwarf planet, new rules for being classified as a planet were created, and Pluto didn't qualify. Hence why Pluto feels betrayed by Eris.

Lyrics

My name was Pluto
As a planet I was known
What did I do
To anger the unified IAU?

Am I real or someone else’s dream? (aay muh up up)
Flying eccentric circles till I scream
I’ve only gotten here (ooh wee ooh)
Icy coats tell me to disappear (ooh ooh up up)

My name was Pluto
Shy of one third of my years (ha aah)
Given a pseudonym (nym)
Swinging with the spheres
What did I do?
My planetary dreams have fallen through

Am I real or someone else’s dream? (aay muh)
Flying eccentric circles till I scream
I’ve only gotten here (ooh wee ooh)
Just because ecliptic’s nowhere near (ooh ooh up up)

Enough of my chagrin (aay muh up up)
Designated dwarf as if I’ve been 
An errant asteroid (ooh wee ooh)
I’ll just see myself out to the void (ooh ooh up up)

It’s just as I had feared
I’ve never felt
There are no bullies here
The Kuiper Belt

Wait
Haumea
Makemake
I’m coming
Those of us unseen

I will be missed
Betrayer of your own kind, Eris

Am I real or someone else’s dream? (aay muh)
Flying eccentric circles till I scream
I’ve only gotten here (ooh wee ooh)
Just because ecliptic’s nowhere near (ooh ooh up up)

Enough of my chagrin (aay muh up up)
Designated dwarf as if I’ve been 
An errant asteroid (ooh wee ooh)
I’ll just see myself out to the void (ooh ooh up up)
