Black Star
Unraveling the Troubles: Black Star's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
I get home from work
I return home from work
And you're still standing in your dressing gown
You are still in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
Expressing uncertainty about how to handle the situation
I know all the things around your head
Aware of the thoughts occupying your mind
And what they do to you
Acknowledging the impact of external influences on you
What are we coming to?
Reflecting on the state of the relationship
What are we gonna do?
Pondering the future and seeking solutions
Blame it on the black star
Attributing problems to an abstract "black star"
Blame it on the falling sky
Associating issues with a deteriorating sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
Blaming a satellite that connects them
The troubled words of a troubled mind
Describing the distressing thoughts of a troubled mind
I try to understand what is eating you
Attempting to comprehend the source of distress
I try to stay awake
Struggling to stay awake, possibly due to emotional turmoil
But its fifty hours since that I last slept with you
Highlighting a significant time gap since being close
What are we coming to?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the relationship
I just don't know anymore
Expressing a sense of confusion
Blame it on the black star
Again attributing issues to the elusive "black star"
Blame it on the falling sky
Linking problems to a metaphorical falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
Blaming a satellite for bringing them home
I get on the train and I just stand about
Getting on with life, but standing idle on a train
Now that I don't think of you
No longer thinking about the person
I keep falling over
Experiencing physical instability, metaphorically falling
I keep passing out when I see a face like you
Passing out when confronted with a reminiscent face
What am I coming to?
Questioning the direction of life
I'm gonna melt down
Anticipating a breakdown or emotional collapse
Blame it on the black star
Once again attributing issues to the mysterious "black star"
Blame it on the falling sky
Blaming problems on a deteriorating sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
Pointing fingers at the satellite connecting them
