Spaceman

I've been enjoying some of the lighter aspects of this song. Aliens, abduction, the unknown. I can see this song as paying homage to some of the killer's idol in the past such as David bowie: space oddity and Elton john: RocketMan. I feel a deeper connection to this song and feels that it's about TRUTH. A Rough literal interpretation of this it's about a person who gets abducted by aliens and is experimented on but returns and no one believed him.
This song focuses on an extraordinary thing happening to an ordinary man and no one believes him. This ordinary comes from a star crossed world so he's aware that it is troubled. And when he gets abducted the song says for the first time 'And that was the turning point that was one lonely night'. This is talked about him realizing that humans are not alone and aliens exist but he's away from earth and he feels alone.
Then He Back home but He tries to tell people but no one cares and or even cares to listen to him cause it wasn't televised. No the main charater come to another realization that even though he tries to tell everyone this HUGE discovery no one cares and now he feels alone even in his home.
This brings the chorus in more light. With the dream maker, starmaker, and spaceman all telling him separate things. The first two are just saying ridiculous things similar to fortune tellers and such but the Spaceman says everybody look down, it's all in your mind. Which brings self-doubt to the main character. He then states a blatant falsehood of the Nile running from east to west. This is reaffirming that everyone could end up believing the definite falsehood just through popular opinion. The main character then accepts that he was not abducted just to fit back in with society but he still hears though voices at night. Cue the OH OH Oh's!!!
So You need to ask yourself do You look down at your star crossed world? Is it all in your Mind?  Or do you risk it and did you go to the skies and to the stars?
Needless to say AWESOME AWESOME song sorry if I got too deep I'd appreciate any feedback comments criticism whatever the Killer Rock!

I think Spaceman is about not appreciating life until it's put in danger.  In the first verse, he is abducted by aliens and being subjected to... well, I'm not sure what.  In the second verse, he's happy to be alive after the ordeal and urging anyone considering ending their life to really give it a good think, because although he made it, now he has to deal with the voices he hears in his head and regrets not really taking advantage of his life before.

People from another galaxy. Simply showing how Brandon respects them but slightly afraid. But the video seems to be a hootenanny of some sort which makes me slightly confused.

I think it's about a man who tries to kill himself (despite regretting it later), and has a near death experience, which haunts him for the rest of his life.

"It started with a low light" - The first sight of the bright white light people record as seeing when they have near death experiences.

"You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind;" - The man wanted to commit suicide.

"But when they cut me open,
I guess that changed my mind." - The near death experience changed his perception of life and death.

"Have just flown too far from the floor this time" - In many near death experiences, some people claim they have 'out of body' experiences, where they seem to float about above their body.

"'cause they calling me by my name" - People describe voices as calling their names towards a bright light.

"And the zipping white light beams" - The brilliant white light people claim to see when they have near death experience is seen by the person in the song.

"That was the turning point;
That was one lonely night" - People who have near death experiences describe a 'turning point' of sorts, where they think they have a choice whether to continue into the white light, or return to their body (thereby choosing whether to live, or continue in on an afterlife).

"The dream maker's going make you mad" - The 'dream maker' (God) will make you go insane by making you think so much about this experience.

"The spaceman says, Everybody look down
Its all in your mind" - A skeptical person, namely a spaceman, blames the white light on psychological factors, and tells people to look down at the Earth, and see it is just a planet; there is no heaven or hell.

"Well now I'm back at home, and-
I�m looking forward to this life I live;" - After leaving hospital, the person has changed their lifestyle, like many people who claim to have near death experiences.

"You know its gonna haunt me," - The experience was frightening, and he dwells on it for a long time.

"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" - A few near death experiences involve a 'river of life', and 'darkness' being heaven and hell respectively, and the person who had the experience was trapped between the two sides, so the person singing is changing his life so he doesn't get stuck in hell.

"but I hear those voices at night sometimes they justify my claim," - He still hears the voices he heard during the experience in his dreams, and they prove that the experience did happen, despite people saying it didn't.

"and the public don't dwell on my transmission
�cause it wasn't televised" - The media do not believe him very much, and don't care, so it wasn't reported in the media.

I don't believe in near death experiences having a holy or religious meaning, and I do believe they're psychological, but I ask you to consider this idea.

dont no much about this exept it was written in the jungle on one of brandons holidays.
