Song Meaning of “Death Of Aquarius” by Orange Goblin
‘Death Of Aquarius’ tells the story of a man who is on the brink of death and is enthralled by the beauty of the Aquarius constellation in the night sky. He reminisces of past moments of joy and happiness, but is now left feeling powerless and uncertain of his fate. The music conveys a deep sense of pain and lament, with the lyrics asking what could have been if he hadn’t succumbed to the downfall of life. As his last breath is taken, he reflects on the death of his own dreams, and the death of the beauty of the constellation he once admired so much. The overall message of the song is to appreciate life and all its beauty, for one day it may be gone too soon.
