Relatively straight forward??? You have a bigger brain than I :)
The easy answer about any of the stranger Moody Blues songs is that they are about drugs. But this one. . . I don't know.
It starts easy enough, sure, the guy is lonely, and why not?
Then it goes onto one of the Moody Blues regular trips. Beam of light? Stars falling down?
I cannot help wondering if there is an intentional change of perspective mid-song - that the Melancholy Man he is at the start is the same person he is talking about a little later. That's fine - but why the switch?
It is just possible that I have way over-analysed this song. . .
