Greetings From Space Lyrics

Greetings from space
I am lost without a trace
Without a face, number or name
Here we could stay
It feels nice to get away
from all the pain
The world has gone insane

It's all the same
handshakes and names
Circulating round
But I've found
a leap hole in the ground
So tell my guitar
I wont be coming home tonight
Feels kind of hopeless
when there's no one around

So I try to say that I'm sorry
And I try to do no harm
And I lied when I said I was Happy
If you love me
please, let me go

Peel off my skin
I don't need anything
I've lost your ring
But, honey, It's just a thing
Here we could stay
It feels nice to get away
from all the pain

The world has gone insane
It's all the same
handshakes and names
Circulating round
But I've found
a leap hole in the ground
So tell my guitar
I wont be coming home tonigh
Feels kind of hopeless
when there's no one around

So I try to say that I'm sorry
And I try to do no harm
And I lied when i said
I was happy
If you love me
please, let me go
So tell my guitar
I won't be coming home tonight
Feels kind of pointless
when there's no one around

I'd interperet the song as being about escapism when living with borderline personality disorder. More specifically in the form of dissociating or being madly in love. She sings "without a face, number or name", which sounds like she lacks identity. Like if you were dissociating. "Here we could stay, it feels nice to get away, from all the pain, the world has gone insane" Dissociating is often a way to defend yourself from stress so it feels nice to get away from all the pain, I'm assuming it's about borderline since it's common to dissociate when you are borderline and it's to defend yourself and let you "get away from all the pain" and stress that comes with having borderline. Also because of her song borderline, and her song autopilot which also seems to fit in on dissociating. The "the world has gone insane" would be derealization. The second verse about being in love when borderline. You only see that person and you "get away from all the pain".

I don't know if this makes sense or if it's about something completaly else. Anyway it's my interpretation.
