Tarja – Dark Star lyrics
Burning out in the distance
You're falling, starting to fade
Light is condemned to be
Tied down by gravity close to the end

Do you still remember?
Before the weight that pulled you under
Dared you to rise

Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created
You'll never know what it feels like to shine
You're the master in your own mind,
But a slave to all, you are a dark star

Empty is never enough
You keep clawing for what you can't reach
Smothering space without any grace
And I can't breathe

Nothing lasts forever
Even the stars will lose their luster
Returning to dust

Where are you now?
Are you proud of the life you wasted?
Wearing the crown of illusion you created
You'll never know what it feels like to shine
You're the master in your own mind,
But a slave to all, you are a dark star

    This song is about using spirituality as a means of escapism, motivated by fear of really living, that then leads to a wasted life just as much as it does the delusion that one has somehow "transcended" life, thus, "You're the master in your own mind, but a slave to all you are a dark star." The chosen form of escapism is likely meditation and / or positive focus. It is an overly, unhealthy "lunar" approach to life as opposed to a healthy "solar" approach to life (healthy meaning that both lunar and solar energies are in proper balance / integration), thus we have the line, "You'll never know what it feels like to shine." And the idea of a "dark star" is one who had the potential to shine bright like a star but chose not to, and now they never will.
