“Scars shine like dark stars. Wounds are where the light shines through.”

I have this quote in my mind for years (because of some lyrics) and I always loved it. But today I learned that a dark star exist before regular stars are able to thrive. This metaphor goes so much deeper now!

They have a gravitational pull that is strong enough to trap light under gravity. But there is light within it … already! ⭐️✨💫

🎶 When you're feeling like an astronaut

Stuck on a planet even time forgot, and

You're a version of yourself, but you're not the same

You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and

The stitches heal, but the years are lost, and

Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain

Why're you running from yourself now?

You can't run away

Cause your scars shine like dark stars

Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through 🎶
