Neil Armstrong
Navigating Life's Confusion: A Song of Belief and Constellations
Lyrics
Heard you say "They didn't put a man on the moon
Expressing skepticism about the moon landing claim.
We just needed someone to prove all this floating's worth doing"
Highlighting the need for purpose in life, implying the moon landing as proof.
Then why did you say that you miss a simpler time
Questioning the sincerity of missing a simpler time.
Well so do I and I find myself pining for you
Expressing personal longing and connection to the listener.
These days can a question be asked
Pondering the legitimacy of asking questions in the present era.
When the hero comes in last
Reflecting on the irony of heroes finishing last.
Who is winning?
Pose of a rhetorical question about who is winning in current circumstances.
Well I am tired of feeling confused
Expressing weariness of confusion.
And lest my words be construed
Clarifying intent to avoid misinterpretation.
I can't separate what's real, but I know that I believe in you
Acknowledging difficulty in distinguishing reality but expressing belief in the listener.
There you go, out on the pavement walking alone
Observing someone walking alone on the pavement.
They could name a star after you and you'd still be complaining
Sarcastically commenting on dissatisfaction despite potential recognition.
And now it's clear
Indicating clarity in purpose now that the listener is present.
Now that you know why I wanted you here
Referring to a specific reason for wanting the listener there.
There's a southern constellation that shines with your name on it
Mentioning a symbolic constellation associated with the listener.
And I won't fly until the day that I die
Declaring a commitment to stay grounded until death.
But we can't keep out dreams in jars so I'll keep yours close to mine
Recognizing the intangibility of dreams but expressing a desire to keep the listener's dreams close.
Well I am tired of feeling confused
Reiterating weariness of confusion.
And lest my words me construed
Repeating the intent to avoid misinterpretation.
I can't separate what's real, but I know that I believe in you
Reaffirming belief in the listener despite challenges in discerning reality.
I can't separate what's real, but I know that I believe in you
