Stoic Logic Lyrics
Cut some new lines in your palms with the night like you own it, don't trip
Burn what you've learned in the black hole and wait for the winter to split
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
Climb up the towers
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
Play with the powers
Cut some new lines in your palms with the night like you own it, don't trip
Burn what you've learned in the black hole and wait for the winter to split
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
Turn time into trouble
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
Try to see double
Cut those new lines in your palms with the night like you own it, don't trip
Burn what you've learned in the black hole and wait for the winter to split
I know, i know, you can go, you can go
M-I-S-S-I-N-G
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
M-I-S-S-I-N-G
Burn what you've learned in the black hole and wait for the winter to split
Climb up the towers
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
Play with the powers
Burn what you've learned in the black hole and wait for the winter to split
Turn time into trouble
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
Try to see double
Burn what you've learned in the black hole and wait for the winter to split
M-I-S-S-I-N-G
I know, i know, we can go, we can go
M-I-S-S-I-N-G

I think this song talks about drug abuse and child abuse, and this theme could be portrayed in other songs from the Astrological Straits album, and it's a very popular theme in the industrial/post-industrial music scene also...
But without further ado let's go back into the interpretation!
"Cut some new lines in your palms": i use to think this is a reference to cocaine injection, seen in a very childish way, since the "lines" can be thought as the rubber bands with which kids usually play, the adjective "new" indicates that those lines aren't the usual lines with which the kid played with, but, you know, lines of cocaine.
"with the night like you own it": a reference to the fact that kids usually doesn't want to go to bed and sometimes want to stay up at night. A drug that can keep you up at night is MDMA, still continuing with the drug abuse/child abuse theme portrayed in the song.
"I know, i know, we can go, we can go; climb up the towers": a reference to MDMA's chemical structure, that, seen from a different angle looks like a tower. "Play with the powers": obviously talks about the "powers" that drugs can give, the adjective "play" here is used in a kiddish manner, following the dark theme of the song.
"I know, i know, we can go, we can go; M-I-S-S-I-N-G": the premise of a classical hide and seek game between two kids, but its not what it seems; the abused kids will go literally "missing", because of the drugs effects.
