Black Hole
Kyles Tolone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

While all of us want some extra too
Got heavy hearts but our mouths are full
We set out to be decent men
Then we found a gun in our hands

There's a price to pay
I don't know if we could
Change our ways
But then we know we should
We're feeling so lost inside

God help us
We've got to end this life tonight
So help us
And turn this darkness into light

Oh have we fallen from grace
We are floating in a black hole
In this wide open space
Or are we just lost souls

When we were young
Our wildest dreams
They would take us close to the sun
Whenever we got there




It got too hot there
And we had to pull back from the heat

Overall Meaning

In "Black Hole," it appears that Kyles Tolone is discussing a group of individuals who have taken a turn for the worse, and now feel as though they are lost in a "black hole." The song's intro seems to suggest that although these individuals may have started out with the intention of being "decent men," they have since succumbed to the allure of violence, likely as a result of some sense of dissatisfaction or unhappiness. The line, "We set out to be decent men / Then we found a gun in our hands" serves as a metaphor for how these individuals have found themselves on this destructive path, seemingly unintentionally.


The chorus, "God help us / We've got to end this life tonight / So help us / And turn this darkness into light" suggests that these individuals have recognized that they are doing something wrong, but they are struggling to find a way out of their situation, or at least find some sort of redemption. The imagery of the "black hole" and lost souls is very bleak, and seems to convey a sense that these individuals are trapped and may not be able to escape. The bridge of the song provides some context, suggesting that these individuals were once young and optimistic, dreaming of greatness, but that things went awry.


Overall, "Black Hole" is a powerful and atmospheric song that deals with complex themes of violence, regret, and hopelessness. It suggests that sometimes, even the best of intentions can lead people down dark paths from which there is no return.

live sind sie fantastisch gut. Das Album ist mega, bin seit Monaten süchtig danach, hat den Sprung in die All time-Top Ten meiner Lieblings-CDs gefunden (etwa seit 1967). Hoffe dass viele Leute diese Band kennenlernen. Sie haben es verdient, berühmt zu werden.
