Analysis of Starry Night



Shards of luminous crystals in the abyss,

Are you watching the same stars as me,

In this moment,

Wherever you are,

Are we sharing the same cigarette,

In pensive solitude,

Thoughts of you wrap around me,

I am drunk on your love,

So I eagerly drink my fill,

Until reality has become no more,

And blue lightning has run its course through me,

As I lean back,

Watching the stars,

Smoking my cigarette,

Wherever you are.
