Heavy Metal: The Black and Silver
Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's in the whirlpool, where matter vanishes
Degenerate star, arm of Orion
An iron sun, the forbidden circle
It's a mountain, it's a black horizon

Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place

Where there was never, never one

By starlight, the heaviest horizon
Magnetic mirrors, scattered body slow
A chaos of metal, river of fire
The countless blue and glows

Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun
Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never one

Falling matter, from the cross
Freedom that was never lost
Beyond the end, we'll be coming
Beyond time, space and control

Direction, sun light
Creation, done right
Foundation, before the Einstein grips the night
Spans a river, star light
Become tired, damn right
World, I love darkness
Without end, and I love light

Heavy metal, black and silver
Falling matter of the sun

Folds itself into a place
Where there was never, never, never, never one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blue's song Heavy Metal: The Black and Silver are quite abstract, but they seem to be referring to the creation and destruction of stars. The first line talks about matter vanishing in a whirlpool, which could be a reference to the intense gravitational forces inside a black hole. The "Degenerate star" mentioned later is a type of star that has burned up all its fuel and collapsed in on itself, becoming incredibly dense. The "iron sun" could be a reference to a neutron star, which is made mostly of neutrons and has a very high density.

The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Heavy metal, black and silver," seems to be a reference to the material that makes up stars. Stars are made mostly of hydrogen and helium, but they also contain small amounts of heavier elements like carbon, nitrogen, and iron. When a star "dies," it explodes in a supernova and scatters these elements throughout space.

The last lines of the song are particularly interesting: "Direction, sunlight / Creation, done right / Foundation, before the Einstein grips the night." This seems to be a reference to the early days of the universe, before the laws of physics that we understand today were in place. The line "Before the Einstein grips the night" implies that the song is talking about a time before Einstein's theory of relativity, which revolutionized our understanding of space and time.

Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on the vastness of the universe and the forces that shape it. The lyrics are poetic and evoke a sense of wonder and awe at the mysteries of the cosmos.
