Everybody Wants to Be an Astronaut
Chasing Cosmic Dreams: Unveiling the Desire Beyond Gravity
Lyrics
Got out of bed this morning, I didn't sleep at all
Expressing the speaker's restless night and anticipation for an important event.
Today I'm makin' history, I'm pickin' up my call
Indicating the speaker's determination to make a significant achievement and answering a call.
I'm going into space, man, don't know when I'm coming down
Conveying the speaker's adventurous spirit, heading into space with uncertainty about the return.
But I'll send you all a message when I'm passing my ole town
Committing to communicate with loved ones while on the space journey.
So tell me, why is it we're never happy?
Raising a rhetorical question about the elusive nature of happiness.
Everybody wants to be an astronaut
Highlighting the widespread desire for the adventurous and prestigious role of an astronaut.
And take the long tall trail into the stars
Emphasizing the allure of exploring the stars and the challenges of the cosmic journey.
Everybody wants to show a brother what they got
Expressing the universal aspiration to showcase one's abilities and achievements.
Everybody wants to be an astronaut
Reiterating the desire for the esteemed role of an astronaut.
I can feel my body shiver, the lights are everywhere
Describing the physical and emotional impact of the cosmic experience.
They marvel at my heartbeats inside the atmosphere
Illustrating the admiration of onlookers for the speaker's vital signs in space.
And I'm looking at the world, in a way you never could
Reflecting on a unique perspective of the world, possibly gained from space exploration.
I knew I'd be a traveling man, but I misunderstood
Acknowledging a misunderstanding or miscalculation about the nature of a "traveling man."
So tell me, why is it we're never happy?
Pondering the persistent human discontent despite achievements and adventures.
'Cause everybody wants to be an astronaut
Reiterating the widespread desire for the prestigious role of an astronaut.
And take the long tall trail into the stars
Stressing the challenging journey into the stars.
Everybody wants to show a brother what they got
Emphasizing the urge to demonstrate one's capabilities to others.
Everybody wants to be an astronaut (hey)
Repeating the universal desire to become an astronaut.
Don't you tell me that I never
Defiant response to doubters, asserting a determination to prove oneself.
I will show you what I'm made of
Commitment to showcase personal strengths and abilities.
Ready for the E.V.A. Come on, let's go outside and play
Preparedness for Extravehicular Activity (E.V.A.) and an invitation to join in the adventure.
What you say?
A playful and inviting inquiry, encouraging others to participate in the cosmic journey.
Everybody wants to be an astronaut
Reiteration of the widespread desire for the esteemed role of an astronaut.
And take the long tall trail into the stars
Restating the challenging path into the stars.
Everybody wants to show a brother what they got
Reemphasizing the inclination to showcase one's achievements.
Everybody wants to be
Repeating the universal desire to become an astronaut.
La la la la la la la la
Expressing a melodic, possibly nonsensical refrain.
La la la la la la la
-La la la la la la la la la la la
-Everybody wants to be an superstar
Shifting focus to the desire for fame and recognition, particularly through music.
Rock the world and make the cover at The Times
Associating happiness with playing the guitar and making a mark in the media.
'Cause everybody's happy when they're playing the guitar
Highlighting the positive connection between playing music and joy.
Everybody wants to be
Concluding with a repetition of the universal desire to become an astronaut.
