"The lyrics to this song were inspired from a documentary on the Apollo moon missions called 'For All Mankind'. The second verse specifically is talking about a dream that one of the astronauts had the first night he slept on the moon. The film is absolutely amazing and Brian Eno did the whole soundtrack to it which is beautiful. I showed the lyrics to my friend who had first shown me the documentary, and he didn't pick up on the connection until I told him, which was great because I wanted the lyrics to have a much broader scope than just a literal interpretation."
You can find this in the booklet that accompanies the CD.
