Lady Of Mars

Dark Star's 'Lady Of Mars' is a poetic exploration of love, freedom, and escapism, wrapped in a cosmic metaphor. The song begins with a series of conditional statements that challenge superficial reasons for love. The narrator dismisses love based on beauty, youth, and wealth, emphasizing that true love should be based on love itself. This sets the stage for a deeper, more meaningful connection that transcends materialistic and superficial values.

The chorus, 'I’ll meet you at midnight forever is not too far, far away from the earth light, I’ll take you away to the stars, my lady of mars,' introduces the idea of an otherworldly journey. The 'Lady of Mars' symbolizes a love that is out of this world, literally and figuratively. Mars, often associated with the Roman god of war, could also signify a love that is strong, resilient, and enduring. The imagery of meeting at midnight and traveling to the stars suggests a desire to escape the mundane and find solace in a celestial realm.

The song also touches on themes of time, deception, and freedom. The lines 'Stealer, stealing the time that we saw it was mine but the earth craft is down as we see' and 'Lier, the lies that could slip from your lips that can cause all my pain' reflect the struggles and betrayals that can occur in relationships. However, the promise of freedom and a new beginning is ever-present. The song concludes with a sense of hope and adventure, as the narrator envisions a future where they are free from earthly troubles, journeying through the stars with their beloved. The 'Lady of Mars' becomes a symbol of ultimate freedom and love, unbound by earthly constraints.
