Blackstar Rising Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have got no reason at all
Getting older but not getting any wiser
And I never even heard the last call
I have got no reason
No reason have I got
Seems like I am stuck in my old ways
Bitter jaded and vitriolic
Got no reason
I have got no reason at all
Got no reason
At all
At all
At all
No reason at all
I got a new song to sing now
Wishing to Christ that I would never get old
Whilst to the sands of time my mind and body were being sold
Yeah I have got a new song to sing now
Got no time for getting the blues
After all it could be worse
I could be like you
Well I got no reason
Seems like I lost the plot
Well I am putting it all on the line now
Out on a limb on one final shot
The lyrics to Blackstar's song 05. New Song discuss the feelings of someone who has reached a certain age without feeling any wiser. The lyrics suggest a sense of bitterness and frustration with oneself, as well as a fear of aging and wasted time. The singer has "got no reason" and feels stuck in old ways, lacking inspiration and purpose. However, in spite of these feelings, the singer announces that they have a "new song to sing now" and won't waste any more time dwelling on negativity or feeling sorry for themselves. The new song represents a fresh start and a newfound enthusiasm for life.
