This song is written from the perspective of someone who has left behind on a small village or city by his/her lover.
The lover decided to run away after realizing that he/she was living a dull life, just waiting for “the star of the age”.
When you are lost
You climb to the firing range
Without a lantern in your life
But the star of the age
And in the bright flash
An emptiness burns away
You trade the darkness of your mind
For the star of the age
Surging away from the tower's embrace
You race like a tiger
Relentlessly lashing the days
And leave, in the wake of our wandering lives
The signs we are aging
The houses we drowned in the lake
While a shining world
Believes that, inside of days
All the darkness of our lives
Will meet the star of the age
While the buildings fall
In silence and reverie
Among the islands of our minds
Among the stars of the age
Oh shining world!
Where nothing is happening
But what is in our minds
The swelling stars of the age
But still my love
The only relieving light
In the spinning darkness of our lives
Is when I see you again
In the moonlight
In the starlight
In the sunlight
And I believe it again
