"Get Lucky" a metaphor for Cosmic birth, re-birth and Interstellar travel

The song refers to the cosmic miracle of our existence. Born from the big bang, like the legend of the Phoenix, we are flung among the stars. The 'force of love beginning' is hints to the ascent of human emotion within the cosmos.

Raising the bar and our cups to the stars refers to interstellar travel. Here is why:

It is widely acknowledged by scientists, particularly Stephen Hawking, that our imperative should be master interstellar travel and discover other life-supporting planet in the universe. If not, humanity will perish. As the song says, 'we've come too far to give up who we are'. "If you want to leave (the planet), I am with it!" :)

Pharrell even hinted that the song is not about the surface meaning. :)

Finally, while thematically varied, Daft Punk's album, 'Random Access Memories' final track is 'Contact' - which features the soundtrack of an astronaut who is encountering a unidentified flying object in space. Furthermore, the track is synced to a sequence from the film, 2001: A Space Odyssey.

thx for your post. i think the very same way about the song.

just consider its an astronomers song about the search for planets, the search of a new earth we can live on, and listen or read the lyrics again.
