Well I was stranded, one million miles from earth
The safety device on my ship didn't work
Floating around half dead with no future
in the vacuum of space, getting weaker
Along came a ship with the girl that was in it
She looked like a cross between Barbarella and Gidget
She said "Hey man, can I give you a ride?"
She opened her hatch, I went inside
The tears were rolling down my face

Don't let me go, I can't take the fall
You might not know it, but you're my space queen
My rocket holds, one more soul
and in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has ever crossed my eyes

She took me back to an earth that was horrid
Anger, and greed, and heartache and squalor
For protection we had each other
We built a home, and we recovered
And we loved one another with all of our hearts
but we took it for granted and grew apart
I yearned for the open expansive space
and rebuilt my ship and went away
and as I was leaving I felt like Luke Skywalker
leaving his home planet of Tatooine
"Usa la force, Luke!"

Don't let me go, I can't take the fall
You might not know it, but you're my space queen
My rocket holds, one more soul
and in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has ever crossed my
eyes
(crossed my eyes)
(crossed my eyes)

As I was leaving the Earths' atmosphere,
Something was holding me back, was it fear?
Maybe it was the gravity belt
That's when I learned what it was that I felt
A giant rubber band was attached to me tightly
Tied to my leg by the girl who had saved me
To make sure I'd return one day
But what she didn't realize
Is that the rubber band stretched so far
That when it snapped me back to earth
I went through the Earths' crust...
Through the mantle...
Through the core...
And out the other side...
Breaking every bone in my body!

Don't let me go, I can't take the fall
You might not know it, but you're my space queen
My rocket holds, one more soul
And in my search for intelligent life
nothing like you has ever crossed my eyes
(Don't let me go) don't let me go now, baby
(You might not know it) but you're my space queen
(My rocket holds) and you know...
(Don't let me go)
(You might not know it)
(My rocket holds) one more soul
And in my search for intelligent life
Nothing like you has ever crossed my eyes
(cranberry sauce...)

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
