Dressed For Space
TR/ST Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Road to ruin
No paper trail
No mercy shown
For heavens sake

Sheets on the wall
Ashamed to love
Frolic your faith
So refuse to come

Cheery call
Chug along
Knock it off till you see that beauty's gone

Perfect bloom
Perfect might
Sell it as this love crept out of sight

It's been a while I'm made of ribbon
He's been inside now I'm full of him
To here knows when, our clearance cold
I'm dressed for space, now can I go?

Well he needs me
Like a royal fox
Like he sorry's me
Like he smokes the rocks

Several masks
To last the year
Makes life dance
Right out of me

It's too hard to dream
Well fickle me
Put it in the icebox
Then we'll see

Wasting time
You've been caught




Bored unravelling
Knot for knot

Overall Meaning

The TR/ST song "Dressed for Space" is a haunting and atmospheric track that explores themes of longing, frustration and disillusionment. The opening lines, "Road to ruin, no paper trail, no mercy shown, for heaven's sake" sets a tone of despair and hopelessness. It feels like the singer has been pushed to the edge and is struggling to find a way out of their situation.


The lyrics "Sheets on the wall, ashamed to love, frolic your faith, so refuse to come" describe someone who is struggling with their desires and feelings of shame. The metaphor of "sheets on the wall" suggests that they have tried to conceal their true self, but they can no longer deny their desires. Despite this, they still can't fully embrace who they are and they resist the pull of their emotions.


The chorus, "It's been a while, I'm made of ribbon, He's been inside, now I'm full of him, To here knows when, our clearance cold, I'm dressed for space, now can I go?" suggests that the singer is ready to leave their current reality behind and start anew. They want to be free of their past and the constraints that have held them back. The space metaphor implies a desire to explore new frontiers and to escape the limitations of their current world.

Spin'glass Hydra

Robert's a magnificent talent and I enjoy exploring his lyrics to discover there possible meaning. If you listen carefully, the audio engineer's blurred, just one part of a line that is supposedly written, "Frolic your faith" into, what I personally believe is originally "god f*cks your friends". Of coarse, I could be way off: Nonetheless, Robert's lyrics are mostly made of metaphors and other figurative language. I believe it's about time the LGBTQ+ community had an artist who's so freely willing to expresses their sexuality; after all, straight people have been doing that for decades. "Dressed for Space" is extremely homoerotic, so this sounds very much like a really Hot PNP encounter:

It's been a while, I'm made of ribbon
He's been inside, Now I'm full of him
Till he knows when, Our clear in goal
I'm dressed for space, Now can I go?

I don't know about you, but I can practically smell the testosterone and sweat exuding from my tablet's screen. You would have to be dead to not start dancing, wherever you're standing, right now. Maybe it's just me, but there are points in the video where Robert looks like Johnny Depp, which only adds to his allure.

Damn, he's good looking and he knows it.



Vovan Meloman

Просыпаясь ночью
Смотришь из окна
Как мерцают звёзды
Как бежит луна

Вроде всё в порядке
Но опять вопрос
Разве мы одни
В миллиардах звёзд

Но ни царь и не судья
Никто не даст
Координаты корабля
Лишь тонкий мир
И чёткий ум
Покажут тебе путь
С которого не свернуть

Дороги в космос
Давно открыты
Их миллиарды
В голове
Выходим прямо
В открытый космос
Навстречу звёздам
Даёшь контакт
Пошёл контакт

It's timeless. TR/ST's music has such a unique sound, I am surprised he's not bigger in the pop-culture.

Zav D.R.

My thoughts exactly

Spin'glass Hydra

It's exactly, because of that "unique sound", TR/ST is not recognized in pop-culture. He's made his mark on the entire "Underground Subculture", which is where he want's to be. However, it appears you have an excellent ear for unique music, so, there's plenty more. Come along with us to enjoy "Underground" delights: A "Subculture" experience, I promise that it won't hurt?
