The Space Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Hanszel 

Cover art for The Space lyrics by Marillion

Such a beautiful way to and an album, the literal words of the last bit. We are one, we are all the same.

The beginning of the song could be open for multiple interpretations. Maybe a state of being, a phase of life? I don't know.

@Hanszel To me this song is about inequalities of life. The opening lines are about someone who thinks they are so high above others, so high that they are "unable to breathe at the height that they flew". These people think they can do things without consequence...."crashing your car in Amsterdam. He did it without knowing/He didn't feel a thing/He just wrecked it and kept going"

The chorus is how they feel they are familiar with being among the stars.

The end section is very powerful ( as well as difficult to sing)...
