Black & White. Dark & Light. Death & Rebirth. Inward & Outward. Contrasting opposites. Each accentuates or gives rise to the other.
In this song I visualize the Cosmos. A large Star "kindles a light in the dark existence of mere being," to borrow the words of Carl Jung. It's gravitational pull reduces the space between surrounding worlds, "light years brought near."
For a moment it shines brighter than ever. Nothing to fear. Then it explodes in spectacular fashion (goes supernova), "Star death ringing," while its core simultaneously collapses into a black hole, "The colors missing Upon the dark spring" See Wiki Stellar Evolution: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_evolution
If this song is about the birth and death of a star, it could directly tie in with Track 5 on the album: "Drunk in LA." The band said that song portrays a sad actress after her prime. Legrand imagines Edith Piaf. So here the star is actually a person.
