Starset – Dark on Me Lyrics 10 years ago
1) There's no hate, there's no love
2) Only dark skies that hang above
3) I call your name as I walk alone
4) Send a signal to guide me home

5) Light the night up, you're my dark star
6) And now you're falling away

7) But I found in you, what was lost in me
8) In a world so cold and empty
9) I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
10) In the dead of night, you went dark on me

11) You're the cause, the antidote
12) The sinking ship that I could not let go
13) You led my way and disappeared
14) How could you just walk away and leave me here?

15) Light the night up, you're my dark star
16) And now you're falling away

17) But I found in you, what was lost in me
18) In a world so cold and empty
19) I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
20) In the dead of night, you went dark on me

21) Blinded, I can't do this on my own
22) You were all I've got to guide me home

23) I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
24) In the dead of night, you went dark on me
25) Dark on me, dark on me, dark on me
26) Dark on me, dark on me

27) I could lie awake just to watch you breathe
28) In the dead of night, you went dark on me



*1* We never hated each other, but now you're gone and so is the love.
*2* Now there's a cloud of grief above, following me around.
*3* I need you now that I'm alone.
*4* You left me behind and I need you again.
*5* (My) best guess is that Dustin means this as a metaphor. Dark stars are ____objects (possibly stars, they don;t know) that give off little light, so even the ____slightest presence of them "lit my night up".
*6* The light you gave off is dimming; or, in literal terms, there isn't even a slightest presence anymore

*7* You brought out a part of me that I thought was gone forever.
*8* I was feeling lost and alone before you came to save me.
*9* I feel secure enough just staring at you, knowing that you're here and alive
*10* Out of no where, you left me.


*11* The fact that you're gone is the reason for why I'm in pain, and the antidote ____is your presence once again.
*12* You (a ship) are leaving my life (sinking) but I can't let go of the idea of you.
*13* You guided me and instantly vanished
*14* self explanatory

*15* (see 5)
*16* (see 6)

*17* (see 7)
*18* (see 8)
*19* (see 9)
*20* (see 10)

*21* I might as well be blind without you. I can't do a thing without your help.
*22* You were all I had in this world.

*23* (see 5)
*24* (see 6)
*25*
*26*

*27* (see 9)
*28* (see 10)





Overall, I'm not exactly sure what the story is, but I think it's either about suddenly being dumped by someone who you thought it was going great with, or it's about losing someone to death (where it says "I could lie awake just to watch you breathe, that could mean that, at this point, just knowing that they're not dead is comfort enough) ("sinking ship" and "dark star" could both mean that death was slowly approaching and life was fading). Either way, it's about losing the only one that really mattered to you.

(note: I copied and pasted the lyrics and I'm too lazy to review, so I apologize if I missed a correction)

Nine Inch Nails – Hurt Lyrics 10 years ago
I think the song is about guilt; making mistakes in the past that have hurt people. He's hurting himself (possibly cutting, but I'd guess generally beating himself (mentally, physically, socially, verbally, etc.)) because he has ruined his own life and can't forgive himself. He has driven everyone away for selfish reasons, but now he realizes that what he wanted never truly mattered ("my empire of dirt"). Now he's at the point of trying to forget reality: drugs.

Breaking Benjamin – Topless Lyrics 11 years ago
I think it's about the 2 sides of mind in the situation of self conflict. For example, I always imagine it like how much you want to love someone or how much you thought you did despite their evil inside

Breaking Benjamin – Evil Angel Lyrics 11 years ago
Why the hell does everyone think it has to be about love?! I think it's either about the abusment of life and or suicide. Or about how much life sucks and the protection they need in their struggle
