where is my spaceship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i feel like i can do anything
so i make a pot of coffee and go to the office
sit at a desk until five thirty
i guess this is anything
but hey i've got cash for beer
and i can get sushi at the mall if i want to
or a brand new pair of jeans
i can do anything
i can do anything
i can do anything
i can do anything
The lyrics of "Where is My Spaceship" convey a sense of disillusionment with the daily routine of working life, and a desire to break free from it. The opening lines, "when i wake up in the morning / i feel like i can do anything," suggest a feeling of optimism and possibility, but this is quickly tempered by the reality of "going to the office" and sitting "at a desk until five thirty." The repetition of the phrase "i guess this is anything" reflects a sense of resignation, as if the singer is acknowledging that this is what life has come to - a cycle of work and consumption that doesn't really leave room for anything else.
However, the song also touches on the idea of consumer freedom - the ability to buy whatever one wants, whether it's "beer and taco bell and cigarettes" or "sushi at the mall" and "a brand new pair of jeans." The repetition of the line "i can do anything" underscores the sense of choice and agency that comes with having money in one's pocket. But ultimately, there is a sense of emptiness to this kind of freedom, as if it doesn't really amount to anything substantial.
Overall, "Where is My Spaceship" speaks to a common feeling of ennui and frustration that many people experience in their daily lives, particularly when it comes to work and consumption. The lyrics suggest both a longing for something more meaningful and a recognition of the ways in which consumer culture can be both alluring and ultimately unsatisfying.
