Astronaut: A Short History of Nearly Nothing Lyrics

Cover art for Astronaut: A Short History of Nearly Nothing lyrics by Amanda Palmer

i think amanda meant the song to be interpreted both literally and symbolically, like most of her songs. she likes to write her songs in a manner that almost anyone can relate to them. that's what i think anyway.

this song is absolutely beautiful. it has my favorite amanda-isms in it, the intro with banging piano that is sort of unnerving, but a beautiful chorus that balances it out, not to mention amazing lyrics. love it love it love it.
