Lyrics
From the brightest star
Metaphorical reference to someone or something very bright.
Comes the blackest hole
Contrast between brightness and darkness, suggesting a negative force.
You had so much to offer
Acknowledging the person had valuable qualities.
Why did you offer your soul?
Questioning a choice to sacrifice something significant, possibly integrity.
I was there for you, baby
Expressing past support and availability.
When you needed my help
Recalling a time when assistance was provided.
Would you deny for others
Raising a question about consistency in treating others as oneself.
What you demand for yourself?
Challenging the person's expectations from others.
Cool down mama, cool off
Advising someone to calm down, possibly suggesting emotional intensity.
Cool down mama, cool off
Repeating the advice for emphasis.
You speak of sights and wonders
Expressing a need for something different or more meaningful.
I need something other
Rejecting conventional wonders, seeking something unconventional.
I would believe if I was able
Expressing a desire to believe but facing challenges.
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Waiting for small, insignificant offerings or attention from someone.
You were pretty as a picture
Complimenting someone's appearance.
It was all there to see
Highlighting transparency, suggesting honesty.
Then your face caught up with your psychology
Suggesting a disconnect between appearance and true nature.
With a mouth full of teeth
Emphasizing an unpleasant visual image.
You ate all your friends
Metaphorical consumption of relationships or alliances.
And you broke every heart thinking every heart mends
Causing emotional pain without considering consequences.
You speak of signs and wonders
Reiteration of seeking something more meaningful.
But I need something other
Expressing a need for unconventional experiences or answers.
I would believe if I was able
Reiterating the struggle to believe.
But I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table
Continuation of waiting for insignificant attention or gestures.
Where you live should not decide
Advocating against discrimination based on living conditions.
Whether you live or whether you die
Stressing the importance of equality in life and death.
Three to a bed
Illustrating overcrowded living conditions.
Sister Ann, she said
Introducing a character, Sister Ann, commenting on the lack of dignity.
Dignity passes by
Highlighting the absence of dignity in certain situations.
And you speak of signs and wonders
Repeating the desire for something more meaningful.
But I need something other
Reiterating the rejection of conventional wonders.
I would believe if I was able
Reiterating the struggle to believe.
I'm waiting on the crumbs from your table, hey
Continuation of waiting for insignificant attention or gestures.
