Addition: Being "back in the bachelor scene" probably hints to this being a breakup song, since a bachelor.is someone without a partner. |

| Chroma Key – Astronaut Down Lyrics | 6 years ago |

To me, this song sounds like someone trying to get over a breakup. They're trying to rationalize their feelings but are so lost that they keep doubting themselves ("I'm sorry I'm sorry I don't know what I'm saying"). While trying to work through the breakup, they say a lot to their partner, like maybe they just need a sabbatical, or saying how distraught they were when they found the breakup note in the cereal box, or recalling how they left hints of the relationship's demise on the stereo. The singer's lostness is also why I think they sing "I feel like an astronaut in a submarine." The entire astronaut scenario, in fact, is a metaphor. They feel like when they go to sleep, they'll "float out out of bed" by having bad dreams about their ex. |
