Spaceman
The Killers攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess that changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'Cause they calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregards the bombs and satellites

That was the turning point
That was one lonely night

The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind

Well now I'm back at home, and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap

And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night sometimes
They justify my claim
And the public don't dwell my transmission
'Cause it wasn't televised

But, it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night

The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind

The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind

My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run, from east to west

And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night
Sometimes

The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind

The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind

It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Killers' song "Spaceman" tell the story of a man who experiences an otherworldly encounter. He begins by describing how he was taken from his bed by beings who took his blood type, leaving a strange impression in his head. The man had hoped to leave the star-crossed world behind but changes his mind after being cut open. He hears voices at night but insists that he is fine.


The turning point of the song is when the star maker, dream maker, and spaceman speak. The star maker says that it's not so bad, the dream maker is going to make you mad, and the spaceman tells everyone to look down because it's all in your mind. The man is caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, thinking he might cross over. He is looking forward to life, but it haunts him, and he hesitates to give himself to it. The public doesn't dwell on his transmission because it wasn't televised. The song ends with a statement that everything is in his mind.


Line by Line Meaning

It started with a low light
Things began in a subtle way


Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
I was taken abruptly from my sleep


And then they took my blood type
They extracted a sample of my blood group


It left a strange impression in my head
It had a weird effect on my mind


You know that I was hoping
I wished that


That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
I could escape this ill-fated world


But when they cut me open
However, when they operated on me


I guess that changed my mind
That altered my mindset


And you know I might
And it could be true that


Have just flown too far from the floor this time
I went too far up in the sky this time


'Cause they calling me by my name
Because they are calling me by my own name


And the zipping white light beams
And the fast-moving white light rays


Disregards the bombs and satellites
Ignore the bombs and satellites


That was the turning point
That was the critical moment


That was one lonely night
It happened during a single, isolated evening


The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The creator of the stars says it's not terrible


The dream maker's going make you mad
The one creating dreams will drive you insane


The spaceman says, everybody look down
The astronaut said, everyone, direct your eyes downward


It's all in your mind
It is all a figment of your imagination


Well now I'm back at home, and
Now I'm back at my house


I'm looking forward to this life I live
And I am eager to enjoy my current existence


You know it's gonna haunt me
But I know it will continue to trouble me


So hesitation to this life I give
So I'm apprehensive about giving my life fully


You think you might cross over
You may consider crossing to the other side


You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You're in a dilemma, with two terrible options


You better look it over
You had better examine the options thoroughly


Before you make that leap
Before jumping into any of them


But, it was the turning point
But that was the critical moment


Oh what a lonely night
What a lonesome evening it was


My global position systems are vocally addressed
My GPS talks to me


They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to flow towards the west


And you know I'm fine
And you know that I'm alright


But I hear those voices at night sometimes
But I hear those voices during the night occasionally


They justify my claim
They support my assertion


And the public don't dwell my transmission
The public doesn't bother about my signal


'Cause it wasn't televised
Because it was not aired on television


It's all in my mind
It is just my imagination

@ciri4kgaming7

我發現 我是怕高怕死了

@林佳德-g3o

我兩樣都怕

@Futeracollect9916

只要看到Alex的视频,我第一时间都不是看内容 而是采访时间,是最新的,说明最近他还活着。

@totchichat

Alex 真的很令人欽佩,除了技巧超人類之外,在這集解說中還能充分感受到他的謙遜,太精彩的一集

10:57 到底誰會需要爬哈里發塔的訣竅

@SimonChenTWN

我聽到那段也大笑,居然很認真地提供了具體的爬法...

@jackrobert4918

這位專家表示:飯後運動的必備知識

@daniellai326

11:08 聽到爬杜拜塔只要V4等級的技巧,我還稍微自豪了一下,上星期去爬V4抱石輕鬆挑戰成功。
可是聽到要連續爬112次,整個人軟掉,Alex 真的超神 XD

@rositatang0602

你要嘗試去日本攀石館攀 此v4不同彼v4😂
