This time tomorrow, where will we be?

On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea

This time tomorrow, what will we know?

Will we still be here watching an in-flight movie show?

I'll leave the sun behind me
Expressing a departure from the current situation, leaving the familiar (sun) behind.
And I'll watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
Observing the passing clouds with a sense of melancholy or nostalgia.
Seven miles below me
Noting the distance from the ground, emphasizing a broader perspective.
I can see the world and it ain't so big at all
Seeing the world from a higher vantage point and realizing its relative smallness.
This time tomorrow, what will we see?
Pondering the sights that will be visible at the same time tomorrow, including urban landscapes.
Field full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets
Describing a future scene of populated areas with rows of houses and crowded streets.
I don't know where I'm going, I don't want to see
Expressing uncertainty and a lack of direction in the speaker's journey.
I feel the world below me looking up (looking up), looking up at me
Sensing the attention of the world below, feeling observed or judged.
Leave the sun behind me
Repeating the act of leaving the sun and observing clouds, indicating a continuous journey.
And watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
Continuing to watch the clouds with a tinge of sadness, suggesting introspection.
I'm in perpetual motion
Describing perpetual motion, implying a constant state of change and movement.
And the world below doesn't matter much to me
Expressing detachment from the world below, implying insignificance.
This time tomorrow, where will we be?
Reiterating the contemplation of the future and the unknown location at the same time tomorrow.
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across any empty sea
Returning to the spaceship imagery, emphasizing the vastness of the sea.
This time tomorrow, where will we be?
Repeating the question about the future and what will be observed.
This time tomorrow, what will we see?
Restating the uncertainty about what will be seen at the same time tomorrow.
This time tomorrow
