its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
I try to count the stars tonight
As I look up into the sky
Out of nowhere it appeared
And I let go of all my fears
A man just screamed a sigh of delight
A blazing stream of dazzling white
Warm breeze caress my skin
Holds me close and sucks me in
This black hole, in this black...
So impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet, my heart is full
It’s so impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet, my mouth is full
Enjoy, joy, joy, joy yes
Enjoy joy, joy, joy
Crawling on my hands and knees
Leaves are dancing off the trees
Higher than an aeroplane
Dry my tears, I’ll rise again yeah!
I just saw a shooting star
Out the sunroof of my car
Round the mountains, up the hills
I swear to god this view could kill
In this black hole, in this black hole
In this black hole, sucks me in, in this black…
So impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet my heart is full
It’s so impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet my mouth is full
Enjoy, joy, joy, joy yes
Enjoy joy, joy, joy
Yeah I’ll enjoy, joy, joy, joy
You enjoy, joy, joy, joy
In this black hole
As I look up into the sky
Out of nowhere it appeared
And I let go of all my fears
A man just screamed a sigh of delight
A blazing stream of dazzling white
Warm breeze caress my skin
Holds me close and sucks me in
This black hole, in this black...
So impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet, my heart is full
It’s so impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet, my mouth is full
Enjoy, joy, joy, joy yes
Enjoy joy, joy, joy
Crawling on my hands and knees
Leaves are dancing off the trees
Higher than an aeroplane
Dry my tears, I’ll rise again yeah!
I just saw a shooting star
Out the sunroof of my car
Round the mountains, up the hills
I swear to god this view could kill
In this black hole, in this black hole
In this black hole, sucks me in, in this black…
So impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet my heart is full
It’s so impressive, so beautiful
As fast as a bullet my mouth is full
Enjoy, joy, joy, joy yes
Enjoy joy, joy, joy
Yeah I’ll enjoy, joy, joy, joy
You enjoy, joy, joy, joy
In this black hole

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I love this song. It's really catchy. Temposhark is a pretty cool band. I think this song is about realising how beautiful life is and celebrating this fact. The repetition of "this black hole" is.. (i think) the view of the world through his eyes.
But then sometimes I think it's about him being on drugs and everything becomes beautiful and exciting. lol but i guess that's highly unlikely.
I actually thought that this song was about sex, considering the lines "A man just screamed a sigh of delight A blazing stream of dazzling white Warm breeze caress my skin"
I mean, honestly. What do you think of when you hear that?
