Astronaut
Luna Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna plug you in
I wanna get you things
Send you a pentagram
Feed you diazepam

I wanna play the game
I wanna live again
I wanna bend your spoons
And make your silver shine

because your surly stare
Is so revealing
Because your feet are bare
My eyes are peeling

I'll wear a stylin' mustache
You'll wear a frozen smile
We'll run like tamal tigers
We'll drink the poison vile

I'm not the jack of diamonds
I'm not the six of spades
I don't know what you thought
I'm not your astronaut

because your surly stare
Is so revealing
Because your feet are bare
My eyes are peeling

because your mistletoe
Because I gamble




Because I told you so
My eyes are scrambled

Overall Meaning

The line "I wanna bend your spoons / And make your silver shine" can be interpreted to mean that the singer wants to have a positive effect on the other person's life, to be someone who can make things better for them.


The chorus of the song is particularly striking: "Because your surly stare / Is so revealing / Because your feet are bare / My eyes are peeling." The singer seems to be drawn to this person despite (or because of) their guardedness or prickly demeanor. The image of their bare feet is a vulnerable one, implying that this person is open to some degree, even if it's not immediately apparent. The line "my eyes are peeling" suggests that the singer is intense in their focus and desire to understand this person.


Throughout the song, there is an undercurrent of playfulness and whimsy. The singer talks about wearing a "stylin' mustache" and running "like tamal tigers." There's a sense of adventure and excitement in the desire to connect with this person.
