DEAD ASTRONAUT
Ryan Oakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah the first thing I was handed
Was a list of all der standards,
I think im from a different planet,
Feds are coming to the rescue,
They’re gonna put me in a test tube
Badges say that they’ll protect you,
You couldn’t take it, and felt separated,
And now you’re reshaping the truth,
Look what you created, this alienation,
Just caused an invasion in you
I’m not like you and im not what you want,
Might as well just be a dead astronaut,
I’m not like you but im all that I got,
Might as well just be a dead astronaut,
I guess they couldn’t take it
So they put me on a space ship,
said it’d only be day trip,
They forgot how long a day is
You couldn’t take it, and felt separated,
And now you’re reshaping the truth,
Look what you created, this alienation,
Just caused an invasion in you
You couldn’t escape it don’t try to erase it,
You’re feeling it inside of you
When you’re on a space ship know everyones favorite
Part would be all of the views
I’m not like you and im not what you want,
Might as well just be a dead astronaut,
I’m not like you but im all that I got,
Might as well just be a dead astronaut,
I guess they couldn’t take it
So they put me on a space ship,
said it’d only be day trip, damn
I’m not like you and im not what you want,
Might as well just be a dead astronaut,
I’m not like you but im all that I got,
Might as well just be a dead astronaut,
The lyrics to Ryan Oakes's song "DEAD ASTRONAUT" depict a sense of alienation and detachment from society. The singer feels like they don't fit in and describes themselves as being from a different planet. The mention of being handed a list of standards suggests that they were immediately expected to conform to societal norms upon their arrival. There is a sense of government surveillance and control as the singer mentions the feds coming to the rescue but ultimately using their power against them. The lyrics suggest that the singer's uniqueness and inability to conform eventually lead to their isolation and feeling like an outsider. They compare themselves to a dead astronaut, symbolizing a state of being disconnected and distant.

95 is when I landed, Yeah the first thing I was handed
I arrived at a young age and was immediately given a set of societal norms
Was a list of all der standards, I think im from a different planet
I received a list of societal expectations, which made me feel like an outsider
Feds are coming to the rescue, They’re gonna put me in a test tube
Authorities are pretending to help, but they're actually planning to control me
Badges say that they’ll protect you, Until they’re using it against you
The symbols of protection and authority will eventually be turned against you
You couldn’t take it, and felt separated, And now you’re reshaping the truth
You couldn't handle the pressure and started distorting reality
Look what you created, this alienation, Just caused an invasion in you
Your self-imposed isolation led to a personal crisis
I’m not like you and im not what you want, Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I don't conform to your expectations, so I might as well be isolated and alone
I’m not like you but im all that I got, Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I am different from you, but I have only myself to rely on
I guess they couldn’t take it So they put me on a space ship, said it’d only be day trip
Since they couldn't handle my uniqueness, they exiled me on a spaceship, claiming it would be temporary
They forgot how long a day is
They underestimated the duration of my exile
You couldn’t escape it don’t try to erase it, You’re feeling it inside of you
You can't run away from your true self; it's a feeling deep within you
When you’re on a space ship know everyones favorite Part would be all of the views
When you're isolated in a spaceship, everyone's favorite aspect would be the scenery
I’m not like you and im not what you want, Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I don't fit into your mold, so being an isolated astronaut seems fitting
I’m not like you but im all that I got, Might as well just be a dead astronaut
I am different from you, but I have only myself to rely on
I guess they couldn’t take it So they put me on a space ship, said it’d only be day trip, damn
Since they couldn't handle my uniqueness, they exiled me on a spaceship, falsely claiming it would be a short journey
