Space Station #5
Montrose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The future's in the skies above
The Heavens unfold and a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
Oh, what a time we had
Livin' underground
I move to station number five
Next time around
As far as you want and close as you need
It's all in your mind you know
This old Earth hasn't really seen it's day
It's here, time to go
Oh, what a time we had
Livin' underground
I move to station number five
See you next time around
I remember when it was so clear
We were young but the memory still remains
To pick fruit from a tree, fish from the seas
Now nothin's left here but the stains
But I can't cry no more, can only be glad
That there's other places we can be
If the time suites you right I'm leaving tonight
Come fly away with me, yeah, yeah
Start with a Sun and move on out
The future's in the skies above
The Heavens unfold and a new star is born
Space and time makin' love
Oh, what a time we had
Livin' underground
I move to station number five
See you next time around
Next time around, yeah, yeah
Montrose's song Space Station seems to be a call to explore the mysteries of the universe and leave behind the limits and imperfections of Earth. The lyrics Start with a Sun and move on out, The future's in the skies above, The Heavens unfold and a new star is born, Space and time makin' love seem to describe the creation of a new celestial body and the potential for exploration that it brings. This is contrasted with the nostalgia and sadness of memories from living on Earth, where it seems that everything has been exhausted and stained. Despite this, the singer seems hopeful and excited for the future, inviting others to join him in exploring the cosmos and leaving behind the difficulties of life on Earth.
The lyrics also seem to express a longing for a simpler time, where things were more natural and there was a greater connection to the earth. The line I remember when it was so clear, We were young but the memory still remains To pick fruit from a tree, fish from the seas, Now nothin's left here but the stains seems to express a sense of loss and longing for a time when things were simpler and more pure. However, the singer seems to recognize that this is no longer possible and instead looks towards the future and the unlimited possibilities that space offers.
Overall, Space Station seems to be a song about the excitement of exploration and the potential that lies beyond the confines of Earth. It is also a reflection on the impermanence of life on Earth and the need to embrace change and new opportunities.

Montrose is one of the unsung heroes of rock music. This album alone deserves more credit than most other rock bands of the time.

Those who know though regard it as one of the greatest rock debuts of all time. And that it is.
