Dark Spring Lyrics

Dark red light years
Brought near
Cold gone glowing
Night sing
Star death ringing
Brought fear

I want to lie in
They call Orion
The colors missing
Upon the dark spring

Cold red light years
Brought near
Dark gone glowing
Night sing

The worlds colliding
Unreal dividing
The colors missing
Upon the dark spring

Cover art for Dark Spring lyrics by Beach House

Black & White. Dark & Light. Death & Rebirth. Inward & Outward. Contrasting opposites. Each accentuates or gives rise to the other.

In this song I visualize the Cosmos. A large Star "kindles a light in the dark existence of mere being," to borrow the words of Carl Jung. It's gravitational pull reduces the space between surrounding worlds, "light years brought near."

For a moment it shines brighter than ever. Nothing to fear. Then it explodes in spectacular fashion (goes supernova), "Star death ringing," while its core simultaneously collapses into a black hole, "The colors missing Upon the dark spring" See Wiki Stellar Evolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_evolution

If this song is about the birth and death of a star, it could directly tie in with Track 5 on the album: "Drunk in LA." The band said that song portrays a sad actress after her prime. Legrand imagines Edith Piaf. So here the star is actually a person.
