song interpretation, stolen from www.geocities.com/afisongmeanings and edited by me.

morningstar means the devil. in fact, black metal band entombed have just brought out an album with that title.

i think this is a song about after lucifer brought war on heaven and god. according to religion, he lost the war. 'the star beneath the stairs' is lucifer himself, the stairs being the stairway to heaven. the 'melting walls' being the flames hell is made of. 'who will be the first to begin their fall' could mean which of the angels who fought for lucifer will fall into hell. 'or will we become one?' means will god forgive them and let them stay in heaven?

from here the song switches its point of view, now it is lucifer talking. 'am i the star beneath the stairs?' is lucifer asking himself if he is the one being punished. 'am i the ghost upon the stage?' is asking if he is the one who god holds dearly, stage being the center of attention. lucifer is asking, 'am i your anything?', does he mean anything to god anymore.

now it's back to the first point of view, seeing lucifer's fall from grace, how proud he was, how bright his light shined before he was banished to hell. and the next morning, there will be nothing left 'but what's inside of me', meaning memories.

and back to lucifer's point of view, he is saying that he doesn't want to die, not tonight, and he is asking someone to believe in him, to let him stay. he doesn't want 'to fall into the light', hell's fire. 'will you wish upon me? will you walk upon me?' lucifer asking the angels that followed him into the fight still want them to be his ruler, perhaps to march on heaven once again, or will they detest him and hold him responsible for them being banished to hell.

how interesting.


teacher's day today, some smart ass decided to pool money and buy our dearest teachers some presents. but the point is, most of us don't even like them too much. so then, it would be extremely hypocritical to give them presents when we dislike them anyway. so i didn't give the $3 to them, and don't intend to.

and then, some other smart ass decided to buy kefli a homer simpson toy worth 30 fucking dollars. and i think he is probably gonna give it to his son to destroy anyway. what a damn waste of money.
