Black Hole
Ben Böhmer Monolink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Once you saw the future and now you're looking back
At how you gave up everything you have
Once there was no distance, no space between us two
Once I fell, I fell into your black hole

Ooh, it's getting dark and dark you see
Ah-ooh, I'm losin' you, I'm losin' me
Ooh, closer now, I feel your soul
Ah-ooh, I'm divin' into you, black hole

I'm divin' into you, black hole

I can see myself now, from the other side
Where their colours bleed into my eye
It's a sweet sensation to leave it all behind
And when I fall, I fall into your black hole

Ooh, it's getting dark and dark you see
Ah-ooh, I'm losin' you, I'm losin' me
Ooh, closer now, I feel your soul
Ah-ooh, I'm divin' into you, black hole

I'm divin' into you, black hole






I'm divin' into you, black hole

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ben Böhmer feat. Monolink's song, "Black Hole" depict the sensation of falling into a dark and all-consuming abyss. The opening line, "Once you saw the future and now you're looking back" suggests that the singer was once in a position of power, where they had a clear sense of direction and purpose. However, they gave it all away, and now they gaze back on their past, perhaps with regret or longing. The second line, "At how you gave up everything you have," reinforces this idea of sacrifice or loss.


The chorus of the song repeats the metaphor of the black hole as a place of darkness and a source of danger. The lines "Ooh, it's getting dark and dark you see / Ah-ooh, I'm losin' you, I'm losin' me" suggest that the singer is plunging further and further into this unknown void, losing their sense of self and their connection to the outside world. The line "closer now, I feel your soul" could be understood as the singer becoming more intimately connected to the black hole itself, perhaps even finding some kind of solace in their shared darkness.


In the final verse, the singer describes seeing themselves from the "other side," implying that they have already fallen into the black hole and are looking back from within it. The metaphor of colors "bleeding" suggests a sense of disorientation or confusion, as if the borders of reality are starting to dissolve. Despite this, the line "it's a sweet sensation to leave it all behind" implies that the singer has made peace with their situation, even finding some kind of pleasure in the collapse of their former life.


Overall, the lyrics to "Black Hole" present a complex and evocative portrait of someone willingly embracing a state of darkness and surrender. It's possible that the black hole represents a form of addiction or obsession, as it draws the singer deeper and deeper into its grip.
