Long time Bowie fan myself, I've only recently revisted the Ziggy Stardust album and it might just be me, but I clearly see that David knows
something.
Here's some lyrics for your opinions"
Starman -
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hed like to come and meet us
But he thinks hed blow our minds
Theres a starman waiting in the sky
Hes told us not to blow it
Cause he knows its all worthwhile
He told me:
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
The curious lines in the chorus (the last three) seem to divert the concept that Bowie was talking about aliens, but i see a way that they fit
perfectly.
The children losing it implies - let the children sin, as we're the children of God, this starman, and we're ungrateful. The children using it is
the opposite, were we more or less leech from the ever presence of God, again; this starman. The most confusing line, the last, seems to imply let the
children dance, but i see, rather than dancing, boogie is a synonym used to represent human's free will.
I had to phone someone so I picked on you ho ho
Hey, thats far out so you heard him too! o o
Switch on the tv we may pick him up on channel two
Look out your window I can see his light a ight
If we can sparkle he may land tonight a ight
Dont tell your poppa or hell get us locked up in fright
This section of the song is clearly referring to a confontation, where the confrtontee shines a light at the starman which is a light. Not telling
your pops is a clear reference to the fright impulse we have, as perhaps children, to run to our parents, and their worry over the 'light' instills
even greater fright.
That's the main song which hints towards something; but here's more:
Moonage Daydream:
Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah!
Notice that it's eye, not the plural eyes. Most cultures convey that humans have a sort of third eye, which is keen not to the physical but to the
metaphysical. That's what the word electric hints towards.
The ray gun could be, perhaps an abduction beam, and once onboard close first hand contact with the being. it's so bizarre it's like freaking out in
a MOON AGE daydream.
There's more, I need to do more digging.
