On the literal level, the dot in the sky is a spaceship/UFO. The subject (“you”) of the song has an opportunity to climb aboard and take an earthly vacation, embarking on an alternate life, freed of terrestrial binds and responsibilities. For the subject’s unconventional mind, the trappings of this world have become unbearable; even the risk of death is inviting, if not alluring. A lifetime of societal conditioning (deception and lies) has coerced (through ice cold persuasion) this persona into manifesting a psychological heaven-scape which presents a force—symbolized by the “dot”/UFO—so powerful that “she fell in love” with its ineluctable attraction. The wounds inflicted by the human condition are deeper than any burning knife can cauterize. Ultimately, the subject convinces herself, through self-delusion and perhaps aided by substance abuse (watering at night) that this otherworldly accession will take place. The assertion that “they never heard from you and it became a concern” is bifurcated: (1) no one would listen to (or especially accept) the subject’s radical views, driving her to feel further marginalized, and (2) resulting in her figurative disappearance (as if abducted by aliens) or her actual suicide.
