Bang bang shoot-em-up destiny Bang bang shoot-em-up to the moon Bang bang shoot-em-up one-two-three (One two three four) I wanted to be a space man That’s what I wanted to be But now that I am a space man Nobody cares about me Hey Mother Earth won’t you bring me back down Safely to the sea But round and around and around and around Is all she ever say to me I wanted to make a good run I wanted to go to the moon I knew that it had to be fun I told them to send me real soon I wanted to be a space man I wanted to be it so bad But now that I am a space man I’d rather to be back on the pad Chorus + last line: Is just a lot of lunacy Round and around and around and around and around So bring me back down Round and around and around and around and around Safe on the ground Chorus You know I wanted to be a space man That’s what I wanted to be But now that I am a space man Nobody cares about me Chorus #2: Say hey Mother Earth better bring me back down I’ve taken just as much as I can But round and around and around and around Is the problem of the space man Aaahhhh Aaahhhh (repeat and fade) by: José Duarte [email protected]

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le rêve d’un homme qui aspire à explorer l’espace, un désir de grandeur et d’aventure qui se heurte rapidement à la réalité. En devenant astronaute, il se rend compte qu’il est devenu un être isolé, sans reconnaissance ni attention, et se sent perdu dans son nouveau rôle. La répétition de l'idée de tourner en rond traduit une frustration face à son existence et à son éloignement de la terre. Il finit par désirer retourner sur le sol, là où il se sentait plus en sécurité et apprécié. Au-delà de son thème principal, le morceau met en lumière le paradoxe entre les aspirations humaines et la solitude qui peut résulter de la réalisation de ces rêves. Ce cri du cœur rappelle à quel point il est essentiel de se sentir connecté aux autres, même en poursuivant des objectifs apparemment grandioses.
