In Space, No One Can Hear You Cry
Loneliness Among the Stars: Exploring the Emotional Journey in 'In Space, No One Can Hear You Cry'
Lyrics
I am a non-critical system
I acknowledge that I am not a critical part of a system.
Stuck on an overcritical rock
I feel stuck in a highly critical environment or situation.
Lacking the skills, knowledge or training
I lack the necessary skills, knowledge, or training to become an astronaut.
To qualify as an astronaut
I do not qualify to be an astronaut.
But could I be a passenger?
Could I be a passenger instead?
Stowaway or cargo?
Can I sneak aboard or be transported as cargo?
Baggage?
Am I just excess baggage?
In space no one can hear you cry
In space, no one can hear expressions of emotional pain.
I smile and mouth the word goodbye
I put on a brave face and silently say goodbye.
I’ll seek out a colony
I will search for a colony to belong to.
Whichever one will take me
I will join any colony that accepts me.
Take me to the stars
Expressing a desire to explore the stars.
An object in motion stays in motion
An object in motion remains in motion, indicating a desire for progress.
An object at rest stays at rest
An object at rest remains at rest, suggesting a reluctance to stay stagnant.
Sound waves can't travel in a vacuum
Sound waves can't travel in a vacuum, emphasizing isolation and lack of communication.
And nobody passes my empathy test
No one meets the criteria for empathy in my assessment.
But I don’t need an audience
I don't require an audience for my emotions.
Loneliness beats ignorance any day
Feeling lonely is preferable to being ignorant.
In space no one can hear you cry
In space, emotional distress goes unheard.
A satellite to resupply
Being a satellite, ready to replenish and support.
I’ll survey the galaxy
Expressing a desire to explore the galaxy.
Hitchhiking from rover to rover
Planning to hitchhike and explore using rovers.
Take me to the stars
Reiterating the desire to be taken to the stars.
In space no one can hear you cry
Repeating the idea that emotional cries go unnoticed in space.
Self-conscious of their naked eyes
Aware of being self-conscious in front of others.
If you join in my fantasy
Inviting others to join in a shared fantasy.
I promise to accept you.
Promising acceptance to those who join in the fantasy.
