Black Hole
Tommy Ljungberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A storm is coming but I'm prepared
I've been gone for a while but don't be scared
Right now I don't know if I'll ever arrive
Where the grass is green and was still alive

How about see you on the other side
I know that I'll be paying for the ride
Into the black hole
Song from my soul
Through the black hole
To make myself whole
Again

You're not the truth, you're half the light
But if I tell you now, the sun dies out
Cause I can only give you my heart
When the darkest clouds begin to part

How about see you on the other side
I know that I'll be paying for the ride
Into the black hole
Song from my soul
Through the black hole
To make myself whole
Again

I'm giving my love
Can't give in, my love
No, I'm giving my love
Can't give in, my love
I'm giving my love

Into the black hole
Song from my soul
Through the black hole




To make myself whole
Again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tommy Ljungberg's song Black Hole are emotionally intense with a touch of mystery. The song appears to be about a person who is preparing for a storm; both literally and metaphorically, as the character seeks to overcome the storm he has been facing for a while. He is unsure if he will ever find his destination, an idyllic place where the grass is green and alive, but he is determined to find the light on the other side of the dark tunnel, hence his repeated mentions of "seeing you on the other side."


The chorus suggests that the character is undergoing some form of self-healing process. He is taking a journey into a black hole, which is a place of darkness that also symbolizes the unknown. Through this mysterious and treacherous path, he is on a quest to find unity with himself, to make himself whole again. He plans to achieve this by taking his expressive journey through music. The final verse affirms his dedication to forging ahead and healing, despite the challenges he might face.


Overall, Black Hole is a powerful song that delves deep into the emotions of a person who seeks to overcome adversity, darkness, pain, and uncertainty. It is a great example of how a song can speak volumes to the listener and evoke emotions that the writer intended to convey.
