Lyric discussion by Job 

This song has nothing to do with space travel, or isolation, and has NOTHING to do with love. If you watch the "Live in Pompeii" DVD, and truly experience it, the meaning will be clear.

This song centers on the drummer, Nick Mason, and what he wants his soul to do. He idolizes the sun, and wishes that when he dies, a piece of his soul, no matter how small, travels to the sun to help keep the sun burning bright.

Maybe, you can't say it for definite though!!
