The “3rd Planet” in the song refers not only to the Earth itself, but also the third member of a family, a child.
Many fans believe that the song is about a family dealing with the loss of a child due to a miscarriage, and that upon finding out about the child’s death, the protagonist of the song is suddenly swept up in all of the potential that has been lost forever.
The lyrics of the song are disjointed, suggesting a stream of consciousness and flashbacks to the moment of conception.
