What I am going to talk about is the killers, one of the most popular rock band in present day. Originally, they come from Los Vegas, U.S, however they became the rock heroes in British’ eyes. All of the 3 albums won lots of fans for them, especially the latest one—days & ages. It includes their song Human and Spaceman, which respectively rank the top one for weeks in Billboard chart.
Actually, though people usually regard them as a rock band, it is not easy to define what style they are. They incorporate alternative, punk and kind of techno, of course rock music---to some degree, they create their own music.
I can’t narrow down my favorite songs, but I will say that the latest album is my favorite one, and it did let me enter their music world and make me like them. Let's enjoy one of this album first!
Well, I will show you the lyrics of my favorite song of them. There is nothing but amazing!!
Go through it patiently, and you will find the fantastic thing. :-)
Spaceman
It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess that changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'Cause they calling me by my name
And they're zipping white light beams
Disregarding bombs and satellites
And that was the turning point
That was one lonely night
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
Well, now I'm back at home and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know it's gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap
And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night
Sometimes they justify my claim
And the public don't dwell on my transmission
'Cause it wasn't televised
But it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
I'm fine but I hear those voices at night sometimes
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
The song maker says, "It ain't so bad"
The dream maker's gonna make you mad
The spaceman says, "Everybody look down"
It's all in your mind
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind

It is cool, right? I think this song is about wanting to move on from or change something however when it finally happens you realize that you don't want it. The storytelling style is common in their works, but this one is absolutely the most creative and attractive piece in my eyes. It does not tell you the meaning directly but let you think more and the more you think the more you will figure out. We are tired of our current situation and we are always dreaming so much to change our life, however, when everything changes take place, you may find that the origin of your life is brilliant.Like literary masterpieces, there is no absolute correct interpretation for particular song lyrics. So I just share my feeling about the spaceman. And I am caring about YOUR opinions!!!
Go and find more music of the Killers. Their music is definitely worth listening !!!
