Outer Space
The Dead Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Many miles between us lie
She beams in her emotions
Love letters from the sky
She talks to me from outer space
A million miles from this place
Her digitals reply
Hey lover come in
Electric pleasures for our eyes
The phone line gives me my dosage
The screen is my disguise
So what's with your big dumb frown
It's your head its comeing down
The rest have left for sure.... hey lover come in
The opening lines of “Outer Space,” a song by The Dead Flowers, seem to describe a long-distance relationship, where the singer’s lover is located many miles away, in other oceans. Though the distance between them is great, they stay in touch through digital technologies, with the woman sending “love letters from the sky” to the singer. He seems to be comforted by the presence of her digital messages, saying “Her digitals reply” and calling out to her to connect, asking her to “Come in,” a phrase used in radio communication.
The song takes a steamier turn when the two discuss “virtual bondage” and “electric pleasures for our eyes.” It is clear from the lyrics that they are enjoying discussing such taboo topics through technological media, where they can indulge in fantasies without fear of being seen. However, the song concludes on a somewhat ominous note, as the singer notices that one of his colleagues seems to have become disaffected, and he calls out to his lover again, asking her to “come in” and provide him with some reassurance.

I really liked this band, shame it's so hard to find much of their stuff, even online. Thanks for doing the good job.
