Starman
Cosmic Revelations: Unveiling the Starman's Message
Lyrics
Hey, now now
Expression of excitement or attention.
Goodbye love
Farewell to love or a past relationship.
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
Uncertain about the time, in a dimly lit environment.
I leaned back on my radio
Leaning back on the radio, possibly tuning in to music.
Some cat was layin down some rock 'n' roll
Someone playing rock 'n' roll music.
"Lotta soul" he said
Characterizes the music as having a lot of soul.
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
The loud sound starts to fade away.
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
The sound returns like a slow voice on a wave of phase.
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
Suggesting that what was heard wasn't a DJ but a cosmic influence.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Introduces the concept of a "starman" in the sky.
He'd like to come and meet us
The starman wants to meet humanity.
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
The starman fears that meeting humans might overwhelm them.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Reiterates the presence of the starman.
He's told us not to blow it
Advises not to spoil the opportunity presented by the starman.
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
Acknowledges the significance of the encounter with the starman.
He told me
Personal communication with the speaker and the starman.
Let the children lose it
Encouragement to allow children to embrace and enjoy the experience.
Let the children use it
-Let all the children boogie
-I had to phone someone so I picked on you
The speaker feels the need to share the experience, choosing someone close.
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him too
Expressing surprise and confirmation of shared experience.
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on channel two
Suggesting using media (TV) to confirm the starman's presence.
Look out your window, I can see his light
Encouragement to look outside and witness the starman's light.
If we can sparkle he may land tonight
If humanity can shine (sparkle), the starman may visit.
Don't tell your poppa or he'll get us locked up in fright
A caution not to reveal the encounter to those who might react negatively.
There's a starman waiting in the sky
Repetition of the starman's presence and the advice to embrace the moment.
He'd like to come and meet us
-But he thinks he'd blow our minds
-There's a starman waiting in the sky
-He's told us not to blow it
-'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
-He told me
-Let the children lose it
-Let the children use it
-Let all the children boogie
-There's a starman waiting in the sky
-He'd like to come and meet us
-But he thinks he'd blow our minds
-There's a starman waiting in the sky
-He's told us not to blow it
-'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
-He told me
-Let the children lose it
-Let the children use it
-Let all the children boogie
