Spaceman
Autumn Hill Lyrics

The lyrics of Autumn Hill's "Spaceman" seem to be a metaphorical representation of the search for meaning and purpose in life. The song describes two individuals who both feel a deep sense of longing and restlessness, as if they are searching for something intangible, something that they cannot quite put into words. The first verse describes a woman who is leaving her partner behind in search of this elusive thing. She is crying because she is aware that she is leaving something behind that is important to her, but she cannot ignore the voice inside her that is calling her to explore new horizons. The second verse describes a man who is also feeling the same sense of restlessness, but instead of leaving physically, he walks away from his job, symbolizing his desire to change his life path. The chorus describes the idea that perhaps God is just like them, a "spaceman" who is also searching for his own purpose on Earth. He has created a beautiful universe with golden skies and hidden diamonds, hoping that those who feel lost, like the two protagonists in the song, can find their way back home to their true selves.

The lyrics invoke a feeling of melancholy as well as a sense of hope. The idea that there may be a purpose to our existence and that we are not alone in our search for meaning provides a sense of comfort to those who feel lost or disconnected. The "spaceman" metaphor is used effectively to convey a sense of awe and wonder, emphasizing the vastness and complexity of the universe, and the idea that there may be something greater than ourselves that we are all searching for.
