Straight Into Darkness Lyrics

To me the second verse of this song really captures the essence of this song. "Man there was nothin', only black sky" You move through your life from job to job, relationship to relationship and, sometimes, you get this feeling that you are being propelled into nothingness; that everything that meant anything to you is "back there" and what lies ahead is empty and black.

My Opinion
