Dark Star
Deine Lakaien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back and forth - torn
Strandgoods of the galaxies
Back and forth - torn
Exhausted, starved, yet still a hunter
Hidden, lurking behind some planets
In narrow lanes, in narrow lanes
Dark star you are the light of my night
Dark star why do you run from me
Dark star why don't you kill me
How long ago when I ran into you
Spark discharges - dazzled
Since that moment I've lost my way
Back and forth - dazzled
Exhausted, starved, yet still a hunter
Hidden, lurking behind some planets
"Faster! Faster!"
Moons and planets passing by
Faded through light - blind
Men forged to black mountains
Faded throgh love - blind
Screens may be distorted
Radars may be deaf
Hunting for love, hunting for love
The lyrics of Deine Lakaien's song Dark Star can be interpreted to represent the idea of searching, wandering, and feeling lost within the vast and endless universe. The opening lines suggest the feeling of being torn and stranded in a universe full of galaxies. The singer of the song is exhausted, starved, and yet still a hunter who is hidden and lurking behind some planets in narrow lanes. The subsequent lines reflect the singer's obsession with the "Dark Star", which acts as a light that guides them through their journey. They ask why the Dark Star runs from them and why it doesn't kill them, which can be seen as a metaphor for their own inner struggles and fears.
The singer then reminisces about their encounter with the Dark Star, stating that they were dazzled by the spark discharges that they experienced. Since then, they have lost their way and continue to wander aimlessly through the universe, still searching for the Dark Star. The lyrics reflect a feeling of hopelessness and desperation to find something in the universe that can offer guidance and hope.
Overall, the lyrics of Dark Star can be interpreted as an exploration of the human condition and the search for meaning and purpose in life. It is a reflection of how we often feel lost and alone in the world, and how we long for something to guide us and give us a sense of direction.

As once I said, this videoclip reminds me so much to Begotten movie.
It is just me or maybe is that I do not understand avant garde stuff? :V
By the way, I like this. It is strange, bizarre, and the singer's voice is the kind of voice of the Phantom of the Opera. Ghostly, deep but enchanting. I like so much Deine Lakaien songs, specially “The Night of Love”, “Nobody's Wounded” and “Love Will Not Die” and more.🌹
