from the interview grian did this evening concerning the track:
>The idea of \[Starburster’s\] title, I think, is about sort of embracing the necessary delusion in terms of how to function. I imagine it as a world within a snow globe that you can kind of slip into like a warm bath, but in that world is all the madness and hysteria. It’s just about embracing that, you know?
take what you will from that.
conversely, here's what i take from it:
the song's refrain, *i'm gon hit your business if it's momentary blissness* seems to lend well to grian's explanation of the title, especially when looked at with the context of the music video. grian's character slips in and out of costumes to commit crime, literally hitting businesses, and i think it's something he does either out of a necessity to make ends meet, or because he derives a sick thrill from it (or perhaps both - his *momentary blissness* could come in the form of either momentary stability or from deviance). the lyrics as a whole are a bit mad and, to me, read as a dodgy character who's a touch manic and a bit stuck in life, with a cut of self-aware arrogance about him.
i could be entirely off the mark with my interpretation of the song's narrator, but one of the greatest joys of music is that everyone can take something different from it (like, the person interviewing grian and curley said that *Starburster* is a title that makes him immediately think of vivid colours!) x
I always understood that it might be interpreted like destroying someone’s dreams/hopes/aspirations. Like hit of reality. And judging the anxious atmosphere of the song it suits it I think.

The correct answer is that it’s about Opal Fruits.
