Cover art for Autoluminescent lyrics by Rowland S. Howard

My favorite song about what the back and forth of addiction and substance dependency is like.

Notice how every other verse describes either a state of brightness or darkness. In the luminescent phrases he feels as though he's more powerful than God and can take on anything. In the dark phrases, he falls through a tortured endless spiral.
Important terms - No Contest: a plea by which a defendant in a criminal prosecution accepts conviction but does not plead or admit guilt. Nova: a star showing a sudden large increase in brightness and then slowly returning to its original state.
"I fell on a soft spot. I'm white heat, I'm white hot again." In this state the only way to pick yourself up after pain and misery is to return to the cycle. Hence he ends the song by repeating the word, "Again" over and over.
