Described as "an ethereal mixture of darkwave and electro," "thumping drumbeats followed by cavernous vocals," "euphonious guitar and warm, subdued keyboards," BATZZ in the Belfry draws from a number of influences, but unashamedly delivers music in the traditions of goth, darkwave and ethereal.
Star in a Dark Sky
Batzz in the Belfry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looking up to wash my face, and the tear drops too
Like a worn out coat, in your hands
Turn it inside out, i'm a brand new man
You're star in a dark sky
No use in waiting for the sunrise
Take a walk on a quiet street, like a holiday
Like an unread book, so the story goes
Like a superhero that nobody knows
And the news man
He goes round, round, round
Like the taxis
In this old, cold town
You're a star in a dark sky
No use in waiting for the sunrise
Like a hopeless dream, in my heart
Like a tragic ending, that gets torn apart
And i know now, deep inside of me
To be here, in your company
And the news man
He goes round, round, round
Like the taxis
In this old, cold town
You're a star in a dark sky
No use in waiting for the sunrise
The lyrics of "Star in a Dark Sky" by Batzz in the Belfry are open to interpretation but generally describe a relationship that has brought about a sense of renewal and freshness to one of its participants. The singer seems to have gone through a tough time, feeling like a "worn out coat" until their partner came along and turned them inside out, making them feel like a new man. The partner is described as a "star in a dark sky," and the singer sees no use in waiting for the sunrise because the presence of their partner already lights up their world.
The second verse continues the idea of feeling renewed and refreshed in the partner's company. Walking on a quiet street is described as feeling like a holiday, and the partner is compared to an unread book or a superhero that nobody knows. The singer sees the world around them, with the news man going round and the taxis in the old, cold town, but their focus is on their partner who is the shining light in their world.
The third verse describes the singer's realization that being in their partner's company is where they truly feel they belong. They compare it to a hopeless dream or tragic ending being torn apart, implying that they have had struggles and difficulties in the past, but being with their partner now makes everything worth it. The repetition of the news man and taxis in the old, cold town serves as a reminder of the struggles of everyday life, but the partner being a "star in a dark sky" is the beacon of hope and light that makes it all worth it.
