Rocket Man lyrics

It means vote republican if you want to continue moving humanity forward with such wonderful achievements as space travel and all of the technological innovations that come from it (computers, microwave ovens, lcd tv's and displays, digital cameras and watches, etc. ). The dem's have killed the space program and used the money to bail out dead-beat homeowners and wall street bankers.

It is clear that whoever wrote this song, wether it be elton or his lyricist, used the life of an astronaut to symbolize whatever theme they were trying to get across to the listener. That theme, it seems is either the seperation from reality due to drugs or a lifestyle that they are forced to live, or the seperation of themselves and someone they love. It is definately not just about an astronaut although the words are that doesn't mean jack when you are talking about songs, books, and poems. If you took everything at face value then the stories of oliver twist and guliver's travelers were about a young poor boy and a guy with a bunch of tiny poeple, and they would have not caused the drastic reforms that they caused in england. So, in conclusion, the song about the effects of drug abuse or personal detatchment through the sybolism of the life of an astronaut.

Modern sense of isolation working 9 to 5 then going home.

I always thoughr this said burnin up his fuse a pair along! Dk why...

Thank you, jeggers! You "proved" what i just said! Thank you again!

Go to the vevo version of rocket man on youtube. While the contemporary elton is performing onstage, a giant screen behind him has an actor portraying the young (early 70s) elton rock star surrounded by groupies and temptation; his wife and child are minimized and overlooked with all the adoring fans surrounding him and clamboring for attention before he has to go onstage. The surreal and detached life of a famous star is portrayed by this song.

It's obvious, the man is going through a divorce, and this is what it feels like to go through it

It means mitt romney has it all wrong, and you should really be listening to rupaul... Er, sorry, i mean ron paul

I was a young adult at this time and i always was under the impression this song was about an astronaut leaving on a mission again...

There was a hell of a lot of lsd circulating the college campuses when this song was released-could be about the "burned out"
