So the beauty of a great song is that it can mean different things to different people depending on their life experiences. To me this song is about a person,for me a guy, who comes upon a situation that suddenly explodes his life. I envision him at a party or social event where he looks through a glass window and sees his girl laughing as she converses with some other guy. She is very engaged with this person and my interpretation is that he understands it's over for them. Every thing is going dark for him. A panic is overtaking him and a noise is growing inside his head. He can hear nothing else in the room. With the panic he quickly moves to the back of the room but the sound in his head is exploding. Things are now totally black thus the metaphor of a spaceship completely blocking out the whole sky. I also feel like this has happened before and he has confronted her but she always downplays it--"it was just a laugh". Like , what are you making such a big deal about it. But in this situation, it's just too obvious to him that it's over---"when you had enough of me"----sweet dark. I'm sure there are hundreds of interpretations but for me this works.
