Blackstar Lyrics

Lyric discussion by secreturelaloo 

Cover art for Blackstar lyrics by David Bowie

the video shows 3 crucified beings the one in the middle is a female

blackstar has a pawn the pawn is executed blackstar then steps forward

radiohead's black star and bowie's blackstar both sing of home

radiohead's black star is about a troubled woman (blame it on the black star)

bowie's blackstar is going to take somebody home

blackstar exalts himself

the unknown somebody that blackstar is involved with is insulted; they're a flash in the pan (they're not a star, like blackstar)

the unknown somebody is losing their passport (freedom) and shoes (soul)

the unknown somebody will have no sedatives (boo, as in cry, for where blackstar is taking them they are going to want or need sedatives, but will have none)

the executed one, the unknown somebody, and blackstar are three different beings

in the city of sin (villa of ormen) the women are worshiping their god, lucifer

lucifer is not I AM (he wants to be) lucifer is I WILL
