Black Hole
Finian McKean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing adds up to me
The theatre is empty
I wanna leave but they won't let me
I offer you my hand – take it
If you don't, I won't make it
The ground under me's slipping
black hole, black hole
Black as they come
Don't fuck with me, I'm in a black hole
Black hole, black hole
You better run
No where to run to in a black hole
I'm holding out my hand – take it
If you don't, I won't make it
The ground under me's shaking
I feel you tremble, but I think you're faking
… feel you're faking
ahh, ahh
Get me out of this black hole
Yea, yea, get me out of this…
I'm in often
Yes, I'm in often
I often get sent home
The lyrics of Finian McKean's song Black Hole convey the feelings of being stuck and alone in a seemingly sinister and endless void. The song starts with the singer feeling like a "bad movie" where nothing makes sense to them. They are in a theater that is empty, but they can't leave as something is holding them back. The singer then reaches out for someone's hand to help them escape from this black hole, but they are not able to hold onto that person's hand. The black hole represents a place of darkness and hopelessness where there is no escape. The repeated line, "Don't fuck with me, I'm in a black hole" highlights the desperation of the situation and shows that the singer needs help.
The lyrics are metaphorical and represent the struggle of being stuck in an endless void, whether it is a physical place or a mental state. The offer of a hand to hold represents the desire for connection and hope, and the inability to hold onto it represents the fear of losing that connection. The singer feels like they are slipping away, and there is no one to save them. They are alone in this dark and endless void, with no one to turn to for help.
