I completely forgot he is such a big sci fi fan, and the band making it to the top thing is something that never crossed my mind lol. I knew it was about a sci fi character, as Rob tends to write about often. No homosexual undertones or anything there lol.
I thought it was evident. Just makes sense from the place in time he wrote it from.

I actually saw Starbreaker as a cross between science fiction and also the bullshit bands have to go thorough to hope to be the "chosen few" . (Quoting Message by HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS from Friday, March 11, 2011 9:46:40 PM)

Not to mention the fact that Rob is really into Science Fiction. That's what I get from the song too, it's science fiction about a "savior" that will take us to paradise (or looking at it now, I suppose it could be about drugs?). And I agree completely Becks, just because Rob is gay doesn't mean every song he writes has homosexual undertones..... I'm really sick of fans thinking every song is gay now that Rob came out. Before no one ever thought they were, but now some people see it in every song. And even if it is, WHO CARES???

To me it's a typical Priest made up character song, some dude called Starbreaker taking people away to space or something 'star voyage to a new world, lightyear miles away' etc.
Bear in mind I am a very literal person, I don't read undertones very well, but in saying that I find it very hard on reading the lyrics to pick up any gay undertone. Just cos Rob is gay doesn't mean every crazy Priest song is about gay stuff LOL.

I never made that connection to be honest. And reading the lyrics again, I still don't LOL

I'd say that's the most overrated. Apart from Sinner and Dissident Aggressor the rest is pretty average.
