Our Stars
Embracing Resilience: Finding Strength in the Storm
Lyrics
I know it hurts
Acknowledgment of pain or difficulty
I know it hurts sometimes
Recognition that pain is occasional but meaningful
But that's what makes it good
Implies pain contributes to meaningful experiences
Cause if it doesn't hurt
Without pain, there might be a lack of grounding or motivation
There's prolly nothing holding you down
Indication that pain keeps one grounded, attached
No anchor in your storm
Metaphor for stability amidst chaos
I pretend that I'm brave
Expressing an act of bravery despite uncertainty
I pretend that I know
Claiming to possess knowledge or confidence
All the answers in life
Confession of not knowing all life's answers
I don't know
Admission of attempting
What I do is I try
Expressing the action of trying and emotional release
I cry, cry, cry, I cry
Emphasizing emotional vulnerability through tears
I see our lights in the sky
Seeing reminiscences of shared experiences in the sky
How we made it through the night
Reflection on surviving hardships together
I try, try, try, I try
Continued effort to not repeat mistakes
Not to mess it up this time
Desire to enable success for oneself and others
So our stars can fly
Aspiration for personal and collective growth
One step, two step we said
Referencing progression and resilience
Hangin' on by a thread
Depiction of clinging on despite difficulties
Those were tough times
Recognition of challenging phases in life
And then we go over
Transitioning to reviewing past experiences
Everything that we've been through
Reflection on shared history contributing to strength
Yeah that's what makes us strong
Emphasizing strength derived from shared experiences
I pretend that I'm brave
Reiteration of feigned courage in uncertain situations
I pretend that I know
Claiming knowledge or confidence despite uncertainty
All the answers in life
Confession of lacking complete life knowledge
I don't know
Admission of attempting despite uncertainty
What I do is I try
Emphasizing the persistent effort
I try
Repetition emphasizing perseverance
I cry, cry, cry, I cry
Continued emotional release through crying
I see our lights in the sky
Seeing reflections of shared experiences in the sky
How we made it through the night
Remembering the resilience during challenging times
I try, try, try, I try
Continued effort to avoid repeating mistakes
Not to mess it up this time
Desire to enable success for oneself and others
So our stars can fly
Aspiration for personal and collective growth
We go over
Emphasizing a review or reflection
We grow older
Acknowledging the passage of time and growth
We get stronger
Highlighting increasing resilience
Gonna get outta this now
Expressing determination to move past difficulties
We keep trekking
Continued effort in progress despite challenges
Up this mountain
Persistence in overcoming obstacles
Till the sky meets our hearts
Metaphor for achieving ambitions or goals
That's what we are
Defining oneself through experiences and growth
I pretend that I'm brave
Reiteration of feigned bravery in uncertainty
I pretend that I know
Claiming knowledge or confidence despite uncertainty
All the answers in life
Confession of lacking complete life knowledge
I don't know
Admission of attempting despite uncertainty
What I do is I try
Emphasizing the persistent effort
I try
Repetition emphasizing perseverance
I cry, cry, cry, I cry
Continued emotional release through crying
I see our lights in the sky
Seeing reflections of shared experiences in the sky
How we made it through the night
Remembering the resilience during challenging times
I try, try, try, I try
Continued effort to avoid repeating mistakes
Not to mess it up this time
Desire to enable success for oneself and others
So our stars can fly
Aspiration for personal and collective growth
I fly, I fly, I fly, I fly
Expressing freedom or achievement
In the deep blue sky
Imagery of success or growth in an expansive space
With our stars that fly
Continuation of success or growth metaphor
