Fantastic song with a haunting melody. The meaning is kind of hard to discern, but I'll try my hand. It's probably completely wrong, lol.

K, so these people harness their anger (which has been lying dormant for so long), and use it to fight away all of the enemies that are keeping them in ("douse the ceiling/ Light up all the evil dreams"). The main person finds the whole thing euphoric, and rises up above all of the walls that held her prisoner for so long ("as I watch the walls descend like stars"). She realizes that she's become a monster, but doesn't really care. Afterwards, her and the other person are alone together, all of her anger is spent, and she's a complete wreck, but I get the feeling that she doesn't mind all that much. The other person is her rock, or "island". The battle that she fought in is still raging, but she's completely out of it, just like she wants to be ("leave your lightning outside"). They were the weeds of society, but now have fought against whoever/whatever that was keeping them there and have risen to the top.

Ok, that was inarticulate as hell, but I hope you get my point. Does anyone know what she is saying about a little past half way through the song? It's muffled and I can't understand it.

I think she's listing the names of stars or something.

"... Proxima Centauri... GX Andromeda... Sirius... Aquarius... G51-15... Antares..."

Well a couple of those are constellations...

I couldn't catch a few of those. Still. Fantastic song =).

Yeah, and that fits in with the whole "like staarrsss" thing.
