one of those toxic yet utterly addictive relationships one can't help but stay in. 'antistar', to me, is about a dysfunctional, all-consuming romance - the singer is addicted to the other ("can you make it numb? / and kill the pain like cortisole") in spite of the ultimately destructive nature of their relationship (hence "iconography / fucks with me / you look great in bloodstains").
mostly i just adore the strings and the beats in this song - sweeping, anguished, a perfect closing track for '100th window'.
