Lost in space
Amanda Somerville/Avantasia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another star
Has fallen without a sound
Another spark
Has burned out in the cold

Another door
To barrens standing open

And who is there
To tell me not to give and not to go

How could I know? how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever

How could I know? how could I see?
Feeling like lost in space to roam forever

I'm crawling down
The doorway to the badlands
And kicking down

Are you heard: it's to the black
And all the damage
Fading in the oblivion mirror
When the demons
Are calling me, their dragging me away

How could I know?, how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever

How could I know?, how could I see?
Feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Lost in space
Lost in time
Lost in space
Lost in Time
Lost in Space

How could I know, how could I know
How could I know, How could I know
That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever

How could I now, how could I see
Feeling like lost in space to roam forever

Forever...

There is a sense of loneliness, isolation, and despair in the song as we realize that we are just small specks in the vast and infinite universe, vulnerable to the whims of fate and chance. Amanda's haunting and ethereal voice adds to the hypnotic and melancholic atmosphere of the track, immersing us in the cosmic mystery and magic of the universe.

Another spark
Another life

Has burned out in the cold
The person passed away under difficult circumstances

Another door
Another opportunity

To barrens standing open
Leading to a difficult path

To advise me against making a difficult decision

That I'll get lost in space to roam forever
That I would be lost and unsure of my path for a long time
