Stars
Embracing Insignificance: Clay Coast's "Stars" Meaning
Lyrics
Once I tried to count the stars
Contemplating the vastness of the universe by attempting to count the stars.
Why can't I just touch them all?
Expressing a desire to physically connect with all the stars.
Small, the size every human is
Reflecting on the small size of humans in comparison to the universe.
But we think that we own the world, so big
Noting the human tendency to perceive themselves as owning the world despite its immense size.
The universe holds too much for us
Acknowledging that the universe holds more than humans can comprehend.
We don't hold the weight of even one, small, tiny star
Highlighting the insignificance of humans compared to the vastness of even a single star.
The world spins around
Observing the continuous rotation of the world.
And the stars, they surround
Noting the presence of stars surrounding the Earth.
Every moment in time
Emphasizing the significance of every moment in time.
As we waste our lives
Reflecting on the idea that lives are often wasted.
Distance is vast
Commenting on the vastness of space.
I'll feel small to the last
Feeling small in comparison to the infinite stars until the end of life.
Next to infinite stars
Being aware of one's smallness next to countless stars.
Come to terms with our new size
Accepting and coming to terms with humanity's new perspective on its size.
Specks of dust are what they look to us
Describing stars as appearing like specks of dust from the human perspective.
And there's thousands in the sky to count
Noting the abundance of stars in the sky that seem countable.
Each star to name, every one in flame
Referring to the idea of naming each star, recognizing their individuality.
But we never reached even one, small, tiny star
Expressing the inability to reach even a single small star.
The world spins around
Reiterating the continuous rotation of the world.
And the stars, they surround
Highlighting the constant presence of stars in the passage of time.
Every moment in time
Emphasizing the significance of every moment in time.
As we waste our lives
Reflecting on the idea that lives are often wasted.
Distance is vast
Commenting on the vastness of space.
I'll feel small to the last
Feeling small in comparison to the infinite stars until the end of life.
Next to infinite stars
Being aware of one's smallness next to countless stars.
Come to terms with our new size
Accepting and coming to terms with humanity's new perspective on its size.
We live among the stars
Acknowledging that humans coexist with the stars.
But we can't reach the stars
Expressing the inability to physically reach the stars despite living among them.
