Smeghead is absolutely right! 100%. This guy, in the song, is dead. Dead.
The very first line!
"Dont bother to call this room
theres nobody here who can pick up"
That's the hospital room. I think we all agree that it's a hospital, because of the obvious get well card, with the cartoon nurse. And the lines about "There's nothing wrong with me", and the ending... where the words change...
"crawl to the rocket
by coughing at the airport
by limping to the taxi".
So he's in a hospital room. He's in there, right? But... don't bother to call? There's no one there who can pick up? He's already "checked out". And now his soul/spirit/ghost is free to fly wherever. And he's going to the moon. Smeghead said it very well...
"It's really uplifting in the same way that most TMBG songs are. They sound upbeat, but have (usually) a sad message, but if you stare long enough into the subliminal you can find the happy again."
This song is sung by a dead guy. A ghost/spirit. But... a happy dead guy! lol.
