Stars – Set Yourself on Fire Lyrics 16 years ago
Someone earlier stated earlier that the whole album itself has a lot of political meanings
what if this is just one of them..
The band could be referring to the "one thing" to a kind of socialist point of view on love
this was referred to in a lot of media, a good example is V for Vendetta
if everyone loved everyone then everyone will be set free. or "love will set you free"

In the darkest part of you that you have ever seen
In the smile of the child staring at the TV screen
In the diary of a priest
In the sheets that lie upon his bed
Out there amongst the waves
And inside your lover's head

the ideology that had encouraged these ideas the most was communism, and the final revolutions
which had happened about 20 years ago this year.
its about revolution..
or at least how i see it.
