All of a sudden, the title 10 Days Until Space Cadet came to me. It makes no sense, but in the context of the song it does. The lyrics are sort of about that feeling that you know you're going into something and you might not be coming back.

Sort of inspired by a history lesson, where an untrained regiment of recently freed black slaves during the Civil War attacked a fort. Leading them was a white man, Robert Gould Shaw, and he was within inches of the opposite side's soldiers. Many think he went into it knowing he was going to die. Once the command to fire was called, he was killed, among with half of his men.

So the space cadet is running away from what he thinks is going to be a suicide mission, and I still don't know what his fate is going to be yet. Whether he actually goes on the flight or whether he goes through a complete identification change is still a mystery.

Stay tuned...
