The Early Stars Lyrics
The notion never leaves me
No leisure for a restless heart
Summers breathing lessons
Collapsing air we fall apart
Oh, and when you sink into the ground you'll fly.
Face your own sky
Darkness pours down from the early stars
Wait for my sign
We'll go quietly together.
The slow eyes disappointed
No liesure for a wanting heart
Struggle in seperation
Silent and alone.
And when they open up their
Papers they'll know
Fumbling around with outstretched hands
While you and I can.
No leisure for a restless heart
Summers breathing lessons
Collapsing air we fall apart
Oh, and when you sink into the ground you'll fly.
Darkness pours down from the early stars
Wait for my sign
We'll go quietly together.
No liesure for a wanting heart
Struggle in seperation
Silent and alone.
Papers they'll know
Fumbling around with outstretched hands
While you and I can.

Early Stars is about double assisted s**? “when you sink into the ground/ you’ll fly” “We’ll go quietly together” “when they open up their/ papers they’ll know” There are hints all throughout this song about a plan or carrying out a double assisted s or two s in parallel.
There are hints towards life/breathing in the phrases found in verse 1, “restless heart”, “breathing lessons” and “collapsing air”.
Meanwhile verse 2, “slow eyes” (extremely morbid interpretation) might be referring to the partner’s last moments with their eyes open as life leaves their body. It gets slightly more complicated with the latter two lines in the verse however, as “separation” and “alone” suggest that only the partner carried out the s*, leaving the singer…? I believe its more likely that the partner went first, giving the singer a moment of ‘silence’ where this song could hypothetically come into existence on this fictional timeline.
However haunting and beautiful this song is, its subject matter is serious, if you need help with your mental health, it is right at your fingertips.
And to ohboyitisntmic!, I’m here aren’t I?
I absolutely love this song. One of my all-time favorites...it's so beautiful.
this could have made a brilliant idols winner firs single song, yet i too really love this song. especially the melody and the guitar intro sweeps are beautiful.
I sure wish that kids these days would recognize that Jejune=the shit
