A song about getting lost in space, losing communication with Earth then, after several years, with the air supply going out, blowing the ship as a last ditch effort to communicate with ground control. You know, the same old story.
I thought about making this a continuation of the story about Major Tom, and considered invoking his name in the lyrics somehow, but decided against it. But, now you know who it is about.
lyrics
Left alone in this desert
I’m a billion miles from anywhere
Floating lost and I’m weightless
I can feel the end is drawing near
There’s nothing here for you
There’s nothing left to lose
Lost I’m hollow here
Communication error
Sent off course years ago
And all you take for granted
Are things I’ve since forgotten
There’s nothing here for you
There’s nothing left to lose
Lost I’m hollow here
No rain, no clouds
No conversation
No message from the ground
No inspiration
There’s nothing here
(no air)
No breathing here
(no air)
I set the charge as a warning
I can hope they see my sign
