"Black Hole" explores the internal struggle of an individual grappling with feelings of emptiness and the desire for validation. The metaphor of a black hole symbolizes a consuming nature, where the protagonist feels trapped in their own ego and the need to draw energy from others to sustain. Despite the longing to be at the center of attention and shine like the sun, they acknowledge their darker reality, leading to a cycle of chasing superficial connections. The emotional weight of the lyrics conveys a sense of loneliness and the quest for fulfillment.
 

Verse 1 — These lines reveal the protagonist acting exactly like a black hole: inherently destructive. Even when they recognize they’re wrong, they still generate conflict because conflict is their gravitational function. A black hole cannot help but pull things in and tear them apart and the protagonist cannot help but create emotional collisions that feed their ego’s mass. “Gravity” represents the self‑generated pull of ego and being “spun up” in it evokes how protagonist is caught in their own inward‑pulling force, unable to change themself. A singularity forms when matter collapses into infinite density. Here, the lies are the collapsing matter, or the accumulated deceptions, excuses, and self‑illusions that compress into the core of the black hole individual.
 

Pre-Chorus(s) — The sun symbolizes the fantasy version of the black hole: radiant, admired, central. “Satellites” represent people orbiting followers, giving attention and validation. This is the ideal they chase. However, instead of shining, they consume. Instead of giving warmth, they drain it. The metaphor clarifies that their emotional realization.

​

Chorus(s) — The ego functions as the mass of the black hole: the more they feed it, the stronger the pull becomes. “Pretend” is the false light they project, like the illusion of brightness around an event horizon. They fall for their own façade before realizing the result is always the same. “Feeding” on friends represents extracting validation, attention, or admiration. But like a black hole, they never become full, they only become hungrier, and eventually their strain destroys the relationship balance as they consume control over it.
 

Verse 2 — “Pulled them near then tore apart.” Emotionally, it represents how the protagonist’s gravitational pull destroys the people who get close. Their need for validation pulls others inward, and the pressure of that need tears relationships apart. In the end, a black hole leaves behind a void where a star once was, or "left a void to match my heart."
