Lyrics
I've got my troubles
I have difficulties or challenges in my life.
They're waiting back at home
These difficulties are waiting for me back at my home.
Up in this bubble
I am isolated or detached from the world, represented as a bubble.
I tend to make my own
I tend to create my own isolated world or problems.
This tilted orbit
My life's path is unstable or unsteady.
Dull as a sedative
My existence is unexciting and calming like a sedative.
Someone write my obit
I wish someone would write my obituary.
"Hope he's happy where he's headed"
There's a hope that I'll be happy wherever I'm heading.
It's a white rabbit, stranded satellite
My situation is like a lost or abandoned satellite, like a white rabbit.
It's a parlor trick, stranded satellite
It's a deceptive or clever illusion, like a parlor trick.
I'm so full of shit, stranded satellite
I am dishonest or insincere, like a stranded satellite.
I'm up here every night and
I spend my nights in this isolated state.
I'm feeling less enlightened
I feel less knowledgeable or wise.
What was it I was fighting?
I question the purpose or reason for my struggles.
I've been abandoned
I've been left alone, and it's my own doing.
I do it to myself
I am responsible for my own abandonment.
I've got this habit
I have a tendency to turn positive situations into negative ones.
Of making heaven hell
I have a habit of making happiness into misery.
This floating flophouse
My current state is like a floating, undesirable residence.
Keeping me gone too long
This state is keeping me away for too long.
Someone tell my spouse
Someone should convey my love to my spouse.
I love her more than Major Tom did
I love her more than Major Tom did (a reference to David Bowie's character).
No, I don't think she knows
I doubt she is aware of the depth of my love.
Stranded satellite
I am a satellite stranded in space.
In a gilded cage, stranded satellite
I am confined in a luxurious but limiting space, like a gilded cage.
In a rolling grave, stranded satellite
I am in a mobile grave, constantly moving but with no purpose.
I'm up here every night and
I spend every night in this state.
I'm feeling less enlightened
I feel less wise or illuminated.
What was it I was fighting?
I question the purpose or reason for my struggles (repeated).
I'm feeling distant
I feel emotionally distant from someone who is far away.
You're half a world away
You are physically far away from me.
These bad decisions
My past decisions have solidified my fate.
Solidified my fate
I accept the consequences of my bad decisions.
I miss you dearly
I miss you deeply, but I won't return home.
But I'm not coming home
My current life is dull and monotonous.
Yeah, this life is dreary
Yet, it's the only life I know and accept.
It's the only life I know
My life may be bleak, but I embrace it.
I've got my troubles
I have troubles waiting for me back at home (repeated).
They're waiting back at home
My problems are still present and unresolved.
Up in this bubble
I am still isolated in my own world or problems (repeated).
I tend to make my own
I continue to create my own isolated world or problems (repeated).
This tilted orbit
My life's path is still unstable or unsteady (repeated).
Dull as a sedative
My existence remains unexciting and calming like a sedative (repeated).
Someone write my obit
I still wish someone would write my obituary (repeated).
"Hope he's happy where he's headed"
There's still a hope that I'll be happy wherever I'm heading (repeated).
