Spaceman
The Killers攀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
'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
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

可是聽到要連續爬112次,整個人軟掉,Alex 真的超神 XD
