Trigger warning: Themes of s*icide.

Early Stars is about double assisted s**? “when you sink into the ground/ you’ll fly” “We’ll go quietly together” “when they open up their/ papers they’ll know” There are hints all throughout this song about a plan or carrying out a double assisted s or two s in parallel.

There are hints towards life/breathing in the phrases found in verse 1, “restless heart”, “breathing lessons” and “collapsing air”.

Meanwhile verse 2, “slow eyes” (extremely morbid interpretation) might be referring to the partner’s last moments with their eyes open as life leaves their body. It gets slightly more complicated with the latter two lines in the verse however, as “separation” and “alone” suggest that only the partner carried out the s*, leaving the singer…? I believe its more likely that the partner went first, giving the singer a moment of ‘silence’ where this song could hypothetically come into existence on this fictional timeline.

However haunting and beautiful this song is, its subject matter is serious, if you need help with your mental health, it is right at your fingertips.

And to ohboyitisntmic!, I’m here aren’t I?
