The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us
Echoes of Lost Love: A Star's Poem to the Departed
Lyrics
A star up in the sky
A celestial entity in the sky
A poem to the dead
A tribute or expression for those who have passed away
Let this mistake
Suggesting a past error or regret
Bring a vivid crystal to her eye
Desire for an emotional reaction from someone
So drain out my lungs
Removing emotions or feelings before they become overwhelming
Before the fluid brings a choke
Preventing suffocation from overwhelming emotions
I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice
Feeling unable to fully experience someone's words or essence
A star up in the sky
Same as lines 1-7
A poem to the dead
-Let this mistake
-Bring a vivid crystal to her eye
-So drain out my lungs
-Before the fluid brings a choke
-I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice
-Let me walk on high wire of rusty nails
Metaphorically navigating a precarious situation with pain
While barefoot shedding the flesh of our existence
Stripping away the layers of one's being or identity
I don't want anybody to fall
Desire to prevent harm or damage to anyone
A star up in the sky
Similar to lines 1-7 with slight variations
A poem to the dead
-Let this mistake
-Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
-So drain out my lungs
-Before the fluid brings a choke
-I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice
-Now's the time
Emphasizing the immediacy of the moment
Now is the time
-...more I try
Increasing effort leading to more loss
...more I lose
-But today
-Remember me?
-But today
Requesting remembrance in the present
Remember me?
-But today
Focus on someone's eyes
Your eyes
-Your eyes
Repetition emphasizing the shining eyes and walking home under street lights
They shine
-Your eyes
-Your eyes
-They shine
-Your eyes
-Your eyes
-They shine
-Your eyes
-Your eyes
-They shine
-Your eyes
-Your eyes
-Your eyes
-They shine
-Your eyes
-Walking home
-Street lights go out
-Walking home
-Street lights go out
-A star up in the sky
Similar to lines 1-7 with slight variations
A poem to the dead
-Let this mistake
-Bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
-So drain out my lungs
-Before the fluid brings a choke
-I cannot inhale the sparkle of your voice
