2000 Light-Years of Darkness Lyrics
Tell me can my eyes betray me?
Do they say how happy i feel
When no one takes the seat beside me
On the bus and make a fuss?
Then i’m easy
To go away, take a train, go astray
Disappear into the unknown
To a place where you’r always
All alone
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness
Take a look into my eyes
200 miles of black woods
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness You’ll see
My eyes, your eyes
Father and son
Our thoughts will be one
Connected in souls
Together at last
In the same black hole
One day you won’t know my name
You will go and
Not come back again
I assume
It will bring me great pain
But at least
I’ll know where you’re staying
Cause you and i
Got a way to go astray
Disappear into the unknown
To a place where we’re always all alone
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness
Take a look into my eyes
200 miles of black woods
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darknessYou’ll see
My eyes, your eyes
Father and son
Our thoughts will be one
Connected in souls
Together at last
In the same black hole
In my eyes, in your eyes
In our 2000 light-years of darkness
In my eyes, in your eyes
In our 2000 light-years of darkness
Do they say how happy i feel
When no one takes the seat beside me
On the bus and make a fuss?
Then i’m easy
Disappear into the unknown
To a place where you’r always
All alone
2000 light-years of darkness
Take a look into my eyes
200 miles of black woods
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darkness You’ll see
My eyes, your eyes
Father and son
Our thoughts will be one
Connected in souls
Together at last
In the same black hole
You will go and
Not come back again
I assume
It will bring me great pain
But at least
I’ll know where you’re staying
Got a way to go astray
Disappear into the unknown
To a place where we’re always all alone
2000 light-years of darkness
Take a look into my eyes
200 miles of black woods
Take a look into my eyes
2000 light-years of darknessYou’ll see
My eyes, your eyes
Father and son
Our thoughts will be one
Connected in souls
Together at last
In the same black hole
In our 2000 light-years of darkness
In my eyes, in your eyes
In our 2000 light-years of darkness

I would've thought it was a song about romantic soulmates, but the "father and son" thing trips me up.
I think it could be about father-son relationship, just like it says.
"One day you won’t know my name You will go and Not come back again I assume It will bring me great pain But at least I’ll know where you’re staying"
This could be about his father getting old and becoming demented (?) and eventually dying.
Is it possible that it's about the cyclical nature of father/son relationships? I mean:
"Father and son Our thoughts will be one Connected in souls Together at last In the same black hole "
It could be a comment on how a son becomes like his father as he ages, and eventually passes on, just like his father before him.
