to an unknown audience
In "To Be There Now," Jen Getto of Carissa's Wierd sings, "Don't forget just how it made you feel / Don't forget it made you want to die. / [guitar jng jng jng jng jng] And all these stars just don't ever seem to go away." That makes sense to me: frustration at the stars' persistence. They do seem to hold out some original hope, after all.
If you listen close enough, you get wind that she might be singing, "And all these scars..." But that would seem to make it a line about heroin addiction. And if your hopeless comes from heroin addiction, well then you're just not trying hard enough. That's not bedrock.
