Both lovers are ending their dull relationship and finally saying goodbye to one another and coming to terms with their lack of love for each other, creating a sad tune for heartbreak.ĭespite the change in pace from folk-rock to progressive rock throughout the entire "Vide Noir" album, it was done well, exemplified by the final track "Emerald Star." The narrator's heartbreak of finding out that the love of his life doesn't love him anymore, combined with the dark, dramatic instrumental, makes for a great song. Mysterious in tone, "Way Out There" feels like a dark fantasy story, in which the narrator describes his attitude towards death and its inevitability as he slowly drifts away from the world and the life he once inhabited. This track takes a slightly romanticized look at regret. The narrator regrets leaving his lover, and no matter where he goes, he comes back to them, asking them to love him the way that they used to. This surprisingly upbeat song tells the story of a man in love with a woman who is engaged to another, and his attempt to win her affection by fighting her fiance. Unfortunately, her fiance is a massive man who easily beats him, leaving him to die as he realizes he was destined to lose either way. Upbeat and energetic, "Hurricane" is a change in pace to a summery tune, talking about the fun of living life on the edge. The narrator describes his restlessness and his love for thrills, making it a cheerful song for the rebel in all of us. The poetic lyrics of the song take a look at existential dread, and the fear of the unknown after death, sung over a catchy combination of loud and fast guitars and drums.
