Starsign
Embracing Chaos: Apocalyptic Themes in 'Starsign'
Lyrics
It's about time
Emphasizing the importance of the current moment
It's about time
Reiterating the urgency of the situation
That this world goes up in flames
Desiring or anticipating a dramatic change or destruction of the world
Like a bolt from the blue, descending from the sky
Describing a sudden and unexpected event
My brain collapses in the dead of night
Personal mental collapse or breakdown occurring during the night
Too much for my psyche, another crack-up
Feeling overwhelmed, possibly leading to a psychological breakdown
If you're awake, join me
Inviting others who are awake to share the experience
All the things you see, the same as what I see
Perceiving things similarly to others
We listen to the sound of nervous breakdown
Listening to the distressing sounds associated with a nervous breakdown
A death that blends with a will to live
Having a will to survive despite facing death
One of the things that freaks me out
Being disturbed or unsettled by certain things
I'm waiting for a sign, have to leave this place behind
Anticipating a sign or signal to leave a place behind
Where no one knows my name
Seeking anonymity by leaving a place where one is unrecognized
Then later we'll calm down, we'll both break down and cry
Expecting an emotional release, followed by tears and goodbyes
(And say) our last goodbye...
Expressing the sentiment of bidding a final farewell
I'll break the chains, I'm out of line
Intending to break free from restrictions or limitations
I'm living on my nerve, last days of ninety-nine
Living with a sense of urgency and uncertainty, referring to the end of 1999
Nightmare, conspiracy, depression and lunacy
Mentioning various negative emotions and states of mind
I need to feel, walled up inside
Feeling emotionally confined or restricted
Locked up, messed up, maybe there is no tomorrow
Contemplating a lack of future, feeling trapped in the present
All this thinking does me no good
Realizing that excessive thinking is not beneficial
I'll miss you my love, but it's about time that this world goes up in flames
Expressing a longing for change or destruction of the world despite missing someone
