Houston, We Have A Problem
Love Lost in Space: Houston, We Have a Problem
Lyrics
Early this morning with no system warning
Unexpectedly and early in the day, without prior indication
She left without saying goodbye
She departed without bidding farewell
My Aurora Borealis was streaking for Dallas
The speaker's beloved, symbolized as a beautiful natural phenomenon, is heading for Dallas
Like a comet burning out of the sky
She's leaving abruptly, akin to a comet vanishing suddenly
I did something bad, she got mega mad
The speaker committed a serious mistake causing her significant anger
And this time I'm paying the price
He acknowledges facing consequences for his actions this time
I'm out here in space and I can't replace
The speaker cannot replace what he's lost in his life
What I've launched right out of my life
Regret for losing something valuable
Houston, we have a problem
Recognition of a significant problem in their relationship
Our love is on the line
Their love is in jeopardy
I'm having doubts we'll work things out
Doubts arise about resolving their issues
We've just been counting down time
They've been simply waiting for time to pass
All I'm hearing is static
Metaphorically, unable to understand her thoughts/feelings
Her signals have jammed up my mind
Communication breakdown, unable to comprehend her intentions
Houston, we have a problem
Reiteration of the relationship problem
Between her heart and mine
Conflict exists between their emotions
Mission Control, all systems were go
Initial confirmation that everything seemed fine
But I'm lost in space this time
The speaker feels lost and isolated without her
Without her around, it's bringing me down
Her absence is causing emotional distress
And the atmosphere's cold here tonight
Emotional detachment and loneliness without her
And Houston, I'm way out of orbit
Feeling disoriented and detached from his normal course due to her departure
Because she was my heart's lifeline
She was the vital connection to his emotions and life
I ain't got the right stuff like I thought
He realizes his inadequacy in maintaining the relationship
So try to bring her home, alright?
Plea to help restore the relationship
Houston, we have a problem
Reiteration of the relationship problem to Houston
Our love is on the line
Highlighting the crisis in their love
I'm having doubts we'll work things out
Uncertainty about resolving their issues
We've just been counting down time
They've been waiting, hoping things would get better
All I'm hearing is static
Continued difficulty understanding her feelings
Her signals have jammed up my mind
Her thoughts are confusing and unclear to him
Houston, we have a problem
Reaffirmation of the conflict between them
Between her heart and mine
The emotional struggle between them is emphasized
And Houston, I'm way out of orbit
Feeling adrift without her presence
Because she was my heart's lifeline
She was essential to his emotional well-being
I'm tired of playing Space Ranger
Tired of pretending to be emotionally strong
So try to bring her home, alright?
A plea to bring her back
Houston, we have a problem
Reiteration of the relationship crisis
