The Escape Engine Lyrics

broken from orbit and not returning
stupid, find satillite, brighter burning
the view is so blue for so long
youre a sinking shell
in an ink well
kind of a comon feeling, freefall
loseing the will to make distress calls
forgetting youre falling and feeling your blood slow down
who could you tell

make the ending as good as the show
for as you go
no connection
no mission control

and the air is thinning
and the inertias winning
the code that we spoken is broken beyond repair
and i dont care
spin into the black or plumet burning to the sea
but either way i wont believe a word

...you send to me

make the ending as good as the show
for as you go
no connection
no mission control

make the ending as good as the show
for as you go
no connection
no mission control

yes it definitely is.

I think its a metaphor to a dying relationship as an astronaut forgotten in space waiting to die.

Where I got that from is, that it could all just be a story, but in that, these lines seem to represent something more personal.
