Awesome song and good job interpreting it. I love the lines: "But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes And a dead black disk slides silently overhead It's fucking beautiful is what it is." No sun means no moonlight, plus no electricity on earth, the sky would look like black metal flake (which is what makes paint metallic or "sparkly", a good example is this-- 2.bp.blogspot.com/_i_AovfzNXgQ/SI_1lbqjB7I/AAAAAAAAUs8/0A773-96ewI/s400/IMG_6445.jpg). The stars would be so numerous, they would just blend together in lakes of light. And the "dead black disk" being the only other thing in the sky: the unilluminated moon, only appearing as a black disc in the sky. It really would be beautiful if you picture it. Great imagery in this song.

Everytime I listen to it now after reading this I get that image in my head. It would be literally awesome.

Just thinking though.. as someone else mentioned, the dead black disk could indeed be the now black hole sun?
