Good song. Awesome lyrics.


Everywhere I look they are there...
what is everyone doing? Going to a home?
To a place that makes us feel warm...
a place that grants us a smile. Seems like a very simple idea, but not hardly figured out
(looking everywhere)
I just see faces. Faces staring blank as they go on with the routine
This routine. Nothing new...it's time to go through this

A spaceman. That's what they say I am.
Nothing but a spaceman...
always pushing it all away
Trying to get to that one place I call home

The journey begins...forcing a new life with the unexplained...
a creeping rush that surrounds me.
Floating-floating away
Always pushing it all away
Trying to get to that one place I call home
My own planet...I allowed this wish...
unexpected...not knowing why...
Wonder why I question it, now? I'm on my own planet...
not many can experience this sensation. Loneliness is creeping out...
Maybe all the complaining is an accurance of boredom. I supposed it's too late.

I am floating farther and farther away
I did love, I did laugh, I did live
(Now I'm on my own planet)

A spaceman. They say I am...a spaceman
Planets everywhere...my own destiny...
I'm floating towards the sun, the sun of nothing
I have become the sun of nothing
Nothing is here. Memories are not clear.

Floating to the sun...farther away
I can't believe that's what it has come to...
I never really had it all that bad
I just looked around and never thought about the blank stares.
(Blank stairs)
They were looking into something much worse than what I thought I was
Selfishness is a very sticky quality of this species
Looking around...I don't see faces...
yes I am lonely. It's to be appreciated. It's to be expected. I'll sleep now.
(Dream wave)


Now's for the interpretation:

This song is about a man that gets tired of his life. He decides the only natural way to rid himself of this world is to fly to the sun and burn his body. He builds a rocket ship (he has already been named the “spaceman” in his town) and starts his journey. The song is the thought process during his voyage towards death. He evaluates all the different aspects of his life and towards the end realizes he had it better than most. He has regret but there’s no turning back cause he is already floating towards the sun.
