Seems to me this song could have parallels to 'Motorway to Roswell' ("his tiny ship..."), though not necessarily involving the same character. I imagine a human-piloted spacecraft experiencing engine failure ("speed leaving without warning..."); the pilot crashes, stays the night, and watches the Martian sunrise as his oxygen runs out. He contemplates his life ... "once I had a good fly..."
Strongly curious!
I always thought that the character on Motorway to Roswell was the same Jeffrey who's in I Believe In Space! I don't know how, but I think that these two songs are somehow connected.

Your interpretation on this song is beautiful and striking anyways, but I wanted to share this thought with you.

@kshe95 Maybe they're the same character; maybe not. "Trompe le Monde" is an album inspired by space and travel themes. Many of the songs are about trips and processes that went awry (as in "Planet of Sound", "Motorway to Roswell", and "Distance Equals Rate Times Time"); therefore, it is not odd to think that two stories have similarities or that two stories share their main character.
