KILLERS
- Spaceman LyricsIt 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're calling me by my name
And they're zipping white light beams
Disregarding bombs and satellites
And that was the turning point
That was one lonely night
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna 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 it's 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 on my transmission
'Cause it wasn't televised
But it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna 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
I'm fine but I hear those voices at night sometimes
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna 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
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're calling me by my name
And they're zipping white light beams
Disregarding bombs and satellites
And that was the turning point
That was one lonely night
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna 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 it's gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give

The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna 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

When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the Killers' song 'Spaceman' presents a narrative of alienation and confusion, which is represented by the main character's abduction and then his return back to Earth.

Clearly at first it is about aliens. I then goes on to describe how the worries of an everyday life can sweep you up but looking from a removed perspective our troubles are very petty.

How about schizophrenia? I'm fine, but I hear those voices at night sometimes, they justify my claims.

I thought it could describe a child being taken to an asylum and given a lobotomy. All from the child's point of view, so the rest of the song comes through a lobotomized filter. 'It's all in my mind'

I agree with with Alyssa.I think all him desribing the abduction as paramedics ripping him from his bed,lights and calling him by name certainly sound like a trauma room.

It's about suicide, EMT's, transfusions, surgeons, angels, and afterwards, in that order. And we're glad that 'the song maker' decided 'it ain't so bad' after all, and stayed with us. Cemeteries suck.
