Though the song has many references to astronomy, especially the life cycle of a star, the lyrics can be applied to the choices we make in our everyday lives too. We are stars. Lyrics:
Verse 1
We all start at the same place
Cold, Dark and Alone
GMCs turn protostars
As we heat up and grow
Now a teen I age
Learning where I’m placed
In our world’s social order
Whether O, A, or M, the brightest or dim
Chorus
Our choices determine our end
And we fight as hard as we can
But the pressure, it pushes again and again and again
Again and again and again
And we explode
Pushes past out forces breaking us down
Can’t hold it back, and we collapse
Verse 2
Those of us scared
Those who depend on another
We grow through our life
Becoming giants in our own right
From a small dwarf to a beautiful explosion
We use our bond with others to impact the universe
Chorus
Bridge
A single point, a single point (singularity)
A single point, A single point (singularity)
Repeat 2x
Don’t get near to me,
Stay away from me
I’ve got no light inside
Stay here and you’ll never leave
Chorus 2x
