about
Star Miner was written around the bass riff that appears in the beginning and end. It was specifically written to incorporate different styles that the band appreciated. The sections incorporate metal, early rock and roll and gothic music influences. The sheet that contained the original order of the song's sections was lost and the song was structured during mixing into it's current form (this also led to a decision to remove a second verse and course section).
lyrics
Don't stand so close
To the wall
You just might trip and fall
Gazing into dreary streets
Lights so dim and oh so bleak
Watch your step
Some just can't take a bet
The walls slowly closing in
It seems you can never win
