Astronaut

Definitely one of their best songs

Well no one is going to be useful so I guess I'll be. Pretty obvious what it means. He feels like he has no one that he can talk to, even though he's probably physically surrounded by people. This is kind of like I'm Just a Kid in a way. He wants to find someone to just talk to or something because he's tired of not relating to anyone.

This is kinda how I feel since my best friend moved and turned into an asshole. It was probably a bad idea to put all my energy into one person, but I have trouble making friends with anyone that I can relate to.

Can anybody hear me or am I talking to myself My mind is running empty in the search for someone else Who doesn't look right through me, it's all just static in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite

Cuz tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut, sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted up, now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please.. come down, come down Because I'm tired of drifting round and round, and round, can I please come down

I'm deafen by the silence, is it something that I've done I know that there are millions, I can't be the only one Who's so disconnected, it's so different in my head Can anybody tell me why I'm lonely like a satellite

Cuz tonight I'm feeling like an astronaut, sending SOS from this tiny box And I lost all signal when I lifted up, now I'm stuck out here and the world forgot Can I please.. come down, come down Because I'm tired of drifting round and round, and round, can I please come down

Now I lie awake and scream in a zero gravity And it's starting to weigh down on me Let's abort this mission now, can I please come down

So tonight I'm calling all astronauts, all the lonely people that the world forgot If you hear my voice come pick me up, are you out there, cuz you're all I've got

The song might be about someone feeling lonely even though he's surrounded by people and has all he needs, but I don't see it from this viewpoint.

I relate to it because it explains how lonely I personally feel and I do not have any friends, so nobody to lean on because my family seems to have much more overwhelming problems than I do...

I feel this song could be an asexual anthem

well, i think the "I" in the song has friends, has a job and everything he needs, but he still feels lost because he has nobody to love and be loved, nobody to turn to in hard times, nobody who is there for him/her. he/she fells lonely because he/she has not the felling to LIVE, only to act what the others tells him/her.

this song really describs my feelings although i'm not brave enough to tell. yes, I feel lonely, and I need some love.
