This song is about suffering, and our lack of awareness while within it.

He is dry flammable hay tied with wire, eaten by horses, is consumed with fire after playing with it. We play with life until it plays with us when we realize we can't control our fate, and yield to our inevitable infallibility.

The stone represents how a diamond symbolizes eternity, but a marriage is not, and we know it even on our wedding day. Whether death or divorce, it will end. But those moments are still so precious despite their impermanence.

We become impassioned (on fire), and can't resist our feelings. We believe our passions are an outside force, and worship them like a spiritual force.

The subway is a tunnel of life, with stops and destinations. Like Jesus during the crucifixion, we all suffer, yet become so consumed with our own suffering, and don't make eye contact, a metaphor for empathizing deeply with the suffering of others.

A black hole, or dark star, is depression. And painful moments in life. Light cannot escape them. A disconnection from heart, soul, consciousness and rhythm.

Like how death releases our struggle with impermanence, the moment we surrender to our suffering, we're finally able to let it go. And realize that the many others are more important than our single self.
