Antistar

Haunting

something about paparazzi, I'm sure. he says 'grant me intamacy', 'I'll turn a stone and find you' 'blind me with flashbulbs'... 'puzzle me with syllables' coudl be pesky reporters. in any event, it' seems to be about the drawbacks of being a star. hence the title.

peace

yo duck, i guess you're right however, it's funnny to rhink of an MA song which is about paparazzi, isn't it? :) anyway, that's just part of the song, it's kind of a montage ("yeah more sweet narcosis...")

This song is absolutely awesome. The ethnic-type string solos are amazing.

but i always heard this line as if it was 'yellow streetlamps' although it's obviously not that:D

Part of hte song to me seems like its about drugs of some sort...and sex. But maybe im not looking deep enough.

this song tires me a lot....

.

i have no idea what the meaning of this song could be, although, reading what you have posted gives me some insight into what it could.

i love the strings (and synth) melodies. almost tribal, almost middle eastern, - Totally Massive Attack Material.

anyway, piece.

ean,

one of those toxic yet utterly addictive relationships one can't help but stay in. 'antistar', to me, is about a dysfunctional, all-consuming romance - the singer is addicted to the other ("can you make it numb? / and kill the pain like cortisole") in spite of the ultimately destructive nature of their relationship (hence "iconography / fucks with me / you look great in bloodstains").

mostly i just adore the strings and the beats in this song - sweeping, anguished, a perfect closing track for '100th window'.

Maybe it is how paparazzi turns a star insane. How he seeks drug to cope with the depression and pressure of being a star. Just a thought. Amazing song. The syth kind of reminds me of the Banshees from Halo..lol.
