The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Supernova" by the artist "Within Temptation"

Within Temptation’s "Supernova" paints a picture of longing, loss, and the hope for reunion through the metaphor of a supernova. The lyrical protagonist is in a state of deep sorrow and despair ("drowning in the dark", "burning from within"), feeling lost and alone. The "crimson skies" and "billion stars" create an image of a vast universe, emphasizing their own insignificance.

The "supernova" in this context symbolizes both an end and a new beginning. The protagonist awaits this momentous event ("your final embrace"), which will be a catharsis, a release from pain and emptiness. They crave this explosion like a breath of fresh air ("like thunder begging for a lightning strike"), like a divine touch ("for the clapping hands of the Maker, stars will slide down").

Despite the darkness and despair, there is hope within the protagonist. They believe that the "supernova" will illuminate their path, giving them the strength to go on ("as long as I can dream, nothing is set in stone", "I'll break free from gravity"). Their heart yearns for the light and warmth ("I long for your fire"), which they hope to find in this cosmic cataclysm.

[Intro:]

I'm waiting for you, supernova

I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova

I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova

Drowning in a haze, and I just wanna get in deeper

Purple skies with a million stars, I'm falling ground

These days when I'm losing track of time

These days when I'm burning up inside

These days when I'm lost, I search the skies

[Chorus:]

I'm waiting for your last goodbye

'Cause I'm not over it, not over it

I'm waiting for your last goodbye

The kiss of time

Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning

Stars are falling down for God's applause

I'm waiting for the light of your supernova

Your last goodbye

I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova

I'm waiting for you

When the lights go down, I'm still here, and I'm singing for you

When the lights go down, I can't let the music fade

I dive in deep and soar so high

I blow the ashes through the sky

On a hill, I'm here to say goodbye

[Chorus:]

I'm waiting for your last goodbye

'Cause I'm not over it, not over it

I'm waiting for your last goodbye

The kiss of time

Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning

Stars are falling down for God's applause

I'm waiting for the light of your supernova

Your last goodbye

I'm waiting for you

[Bridge:]

As long as I dream, it ain't over, over

I'll break the chains of gravity

Oh, I long for your fire, yeah, I long for your fire

My heart is lost between the stars

[Break:]

Drowning in a haze,

And I just wanna get in deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper

[Chorus:]

I'm waiting for your last goodbye

'Cause I'm not over it, not over it

I'm waiting for your last goodbye

The kiss of time

Like thunder screaming out for a flash of lightning

Stars are falling down for God's applause

I'm waiting for the light of your supernova

Your last goodbye

I'm waiting for you, supernova

I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova

I'm waiting for you, supernova, supernova, supernova

[Outro:]

Drowning in a haze,

And I just wanna get in deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper
