Cover art for Hourglass lyrics by At the Drive-In

I think this song is more about alienation from those around you and maybe wishing that you were an astronaut so you had an excuse to get away from the world for a while. Just a song about being fed up with people.

thank you obviously his feelings are being compared to one of an astronauts but he is not just seeing about the fucking russian space programs failures i think its about the feeelings felt from withdrawing from heroin
