Space Travel Is Boring
Cosmic Reflections: Journey Beyond Loneliness
Lyrics
Won herself a pass to some far off moon
Won a ticket for space travel to a distant moon.
It was second class but what's to lose
Had a second-class ticket with little to lose.
And looking out her window she could more than assume
Observing from her window, she realized the limitations of seeing air or time in space.
That you can't see air or time
Reflecting on the inability to see air or time in the vastness of space.
She's the only rocketeer in the whole damn place
She is the sole space traveler among others.
They gave her a mirror so she could talk to her face
Given a mirror to combat loneliness, emphasizing self-reflection.
She still got plenty lonely but that's just isn't the case
Despite the mirror, she still feels lonely over time.
With time, time, time
Loneliness persists with the passage of time.
Started hearing voices sometime in June
Started hearing voices, possibly indicating a mental struggle.
She knew she could go crazy but didn't think that soon
A realization that she might go crazy, though not expecting it so soon.
Now she doesn't feel lonely but she'd just as soon
Despite not feeling lonely, she would rather try to overcome challenges.
Try, try, try
Expressing a determination to keep trying despite difficulties.
Man shot to the moon
A man has traveled to the moon, possibly a separate narrative or a reflection.
I bought a paperback and want to go real soon
The narrator expresses a desire to go to the moon, buying a paperback on the subject.
I'm shot to the moon
Reiteration of the narrator's longing to reach the moon.
Been there a half an hour, I want to come home soon
Having been on the moon for a short time, a desire to return home emerges.
