Manic Star Lyrics

Cover art for Manic Star lyrics by Conjure One

This song is basically about a person who is chafing against her mundane life. She's looking for escape through a relationship: "one day is one day less to live/ I want you to be my sedative" and "let's love like there is no tomorrow/ Shelter each other from the pain and sorrow"

She her existence feels a bit useless because the world is so big and evil: "One tiny person in one shiny car/ Spinning on our manic star" (the 'shiny car' could be a statement against materialism)

One part I find interesting is: "Are you afraid of dying, too?" There's a bit of condescension in the singer's voice. It's as if she's saying, every one places too much stock in life. She thinks she's above them because she's not scared.
