Black hole sun
Mrs. Columbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In disguises no one knows
Hides the face, lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat, summer stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (won't you come)
Stuttering, cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
And sometimes far too long for snakes
In my shoes, a walking sleep
And my youth I pray to keep
Heaven sent hell away
No one sings like you anymore
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Hang my head, drown my fear
Till you all just disappear
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come (black hole sun, black hole sun)
Won't you come
Won't you come
The lyrics of Mrs. Columbo's "Black Hole Sun" are deeply introspective and melancholic, evoking a sense of nostalgia and regret for the past. The song speaks to the experience of feeling disconnected from one's own life and identity, as if living in a dreamlike state where reality is distorted and fleeting. The opening lines, "I dream in colors / And the people I used to be", suggest a sense of dissociation and disorientation, as if the singer is struggling to understand their own sense of self or personal history.
The theme of time, and its relentless march forward, is a recurring motif in the song. The line "Tomorrow never mattered" suggests a sense of apathy or resignation about the future, while the phrase "Back when time was a friend of mine" speaks to the nostalgia for a simpler, happier time in the past. The singer is haunted by the memory of their youth, when they believed they would be "forever young" and could "burn a hole in the sun." Now, they seem to have lost that sense of possibility and wonder, feeling trapped in a life they are merely "passing through."
Overall, "Black Hole Sun" is a poignant meditation on the human experience, exploring themes of identity, nostalgia, and the passage of time. It is a deeply personal and introspective song, one that invites listeners to reflect on their own sense of self and how it changes over time.

I dream in colors
My dreams are vibrant and full of life
And the people I used to be
I have changed and evolved over time
Tomorrow never mattered
I only live in the present moment
A trip on the scale of lunacy
My life has been full of crazy experiences
I was a passenger
I didn't feel in control of my own life
In a life I was only passing through
I felt like I was just going through the motions
An angel with a dirty face
I may appear pure and innocent, but I have a dark side
With a smile on a lie that could make it seem true
I can deceive others with a convincing smile
How would you ever know it, how the story goes
It is impossible for outsiders to truly understand my life story
Painting footsteps on the road, you never know
I am leaving my mark on the world, but others may never realize it
I saw the world with diamonds in my eyes
I used to see the world as a beautiful and precious place
And I'd take my heart and throw it in the sky
I was impulsive and made decisions without thinking of the consequences
I believed that I'd be forever young
I used to think that I would never grow old
I could burn a hole in the sun
I felt invincible and like I could do anything
I'm turning the pages
I am reflecting on my past experiences
Back when time was a friend of mine
I used to have all the time in the world
How everything changes
Nothing stays the same forever
Jump from the fun and you never think twice
I used to be reckless and take risks without considering the consequences

Az első körös Doricicás borzalmak után ez valami megdöbbentő! Tetszik! Zsinórban a tizedik szám, amit élvezettel hallgattam végig, szinte hihetetlen. :) Nem tudom, milyen csoda csapott bele, de ne engedje ki! :))
