Aerosmith - Spaced Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
Lyrically, "Spaced" delves into themes of escapism, confusion, and disconnection. The song portrays the feeling of being "out of sync" with the world around you, reflecting the chaotic and surreal experience of mental or emotional detachment. The lyrics express a sense of being lost in a haze, disconnected from reality, yet yearning for something more, possibly clarity or escape. It’s a reflection of the band's experience with the highs and lows of fame, and it speaks to a broader existential feeling of being "spaced out."
Song lyrics
Spaced in time, child of nine
Doing 20 years on the way
Fire and steel, Earth unreal
Find another planet to stay
Papa died, ma survived
Telling me about her ordeal
And the soul she could not feel
'Cause they made her so unreal
Lightning years, disappears
20 million years on my brain
Synthesize, overrides
Trying to keep from going insane
And my soul, I cannot feel
'Cause they made me so unreal
Spaced enough to know I feel there's nothing out there
Spaced enough to know I feel I really don't care
Spaced enough to feel I'm really losing my mind
And I'm never never never never ever going back
I'm off the track
No one even knows I'm alive
Spaced, without a trace
Waiting for the word to arrive
I'm the last man to survive
