Description
Here, falling in love doesn't sound like tender glances and warm embraces, but rather like a cosmic catastrophe. When it seems that your heart is a glacier, and suddenly it is covered by an avalanche, so much so that you can't breathe. Everything is too loud, too bright, too destructive to resist.
And while somewhere out there stars are falling into a black hole, inside there is exactly the same vacuum. It pulls, spins, breaks, and no one is going to let go. Even deception in this case is perceived as a game: painful, but exciting, as if without this chaos life would lose its flavour.
The track is about a passion that doesn't ask for permission, doesn't give you a choice, and always comes at the wrong time. Like an encounter with a black hole: you know there's no turning back, but you fly anyway.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Ooh, baby, don't you know I suffer?
Ooh, baby, can't you hear me moan?
You caught me under false pretences
How long before you let me go?
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the (you set my soul)
(Into the supermassive)
I thought I was a fool for no one
But, ooh, baby, I'm a fool for you
You're the queen of the superficial
How long before you tell the truth?
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Ooh, you set my soul alight
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the (you set my soul)
(Into the supermassive)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
You're a supermassive black hole
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the supermassive (you set my soul alight)
Glaciers melting in the dead of night (ooh)
And the superstar's sucked into the (you set my soul)
(Into the supermassive)
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
Supermassive black hole
You're a supermassive black hole
