Lyrics
Turn me around
Feeling disoriented or lost, seeking a change in direction.
Vision goes with the sun
Imagery of a shifting perspective as the day progresses.
Far above the ground
Elevated, possibly transcendent state, above ordinary concerns.
Halfway to oblivion
Being at a point of no return, halfway to a state of forgetting.
In the stratosphere
Reference to the Earth's stratosphere, a metaphorical space.
There's nowhere to go from here
A sense of being stuck or having limited options in this space.
In the stratosphere
Reiteration of the feeling of being trapped in the stratosphere.
I'll be back home another year
Anticipation of returning home, but not immediately.
High as the moon
Metaphorical height, detached from earthly concerns.
Earth below to comfort me
Earth provides comfort but from a distant vantage point.
Needle to the spoon
Symbolism of drug use, possibly seeking escape or alteration.
Strike a match and let it be
Indicating a decision to ignite or begin a transformative process.
In the stratosphere
Reiteration of being in a space with limited options or progress.
There's nowhere to go from here
Emphasizing the feeling of being stuck in the stratosphere.
In the stratosphere
Continuing the sense of confinement in this elevated state.
Somewhere I can disappear
Expressing a desire or need to disappear, escape from visibility.
In the stratosphere
Repeating the notion of limited options within the stratosphere.
There's nowhere to go from here
Underlining the feeling of being trapped or directionless.
In the stratosphere
Repetition emphasizing the lack of options in the stratosphere.
Be back home another year
Acknowledging the expectation of returning home, but not soon.
