Stardust
Embracing Stardust: A Celestial Love Story by Madeline Clarke
Lyrics
The moon said, "I love you"
The moon expresses love.
Then I said, "The moon can't love"
The speaker doubts the moon's capacity for love.
Then God said, "You're made of stardust
God affirms that the speaker is made of stardust.
And the moon's made of stardust
God highlights that the moon is also composed of stardust.
Why shouldn't the moon love you back?"
God questions why the moon wouldn't reciprocate love since both the speaker and the moon share the same stardust origin.
I've been feeling pretty so maybe we can talk today
The speaker expresses a positive self-perception and suggests a desire for communication.
But the silence is so frightening, and I can't think of what to say
The speaker finds it challenging to break the silence and is unsure of what to say.
I've been living praying everything will be okay, yeah
The speaker hopes for a positive outcome and has been praying for things to be okay.
But I've been feeling pretty so maybe we can talk today
Repetition of the desire for communication and positive self-perception.
I just wanna tell you every thought that burns my veins
The speaker wants to share intimate thoughts with the listener.
I just wanna sing you every song that haunts my days
The speaker desires to share emotionally charged songs.
I don't know
Uncertainty about the future.
What tomorrow holds
Expressing uncertainty about what lies ahead.
I just know what I want
The speaker knows their desires but is uncertain about the future.
My backpack gets so heavy, it drags my feet
The speaker carries a heavy burden symbolized by a backpack.
But with all these things I carry, not one of them is what I need
Despite carrying many things, none fulfill the speaker's true needs.
And I think it's wrong to want someone to carry this weight
The speaker questions the appropriateness of wanting someone else to share their burdens.
Yeah but I've been feeling pretty so maybe we can talk today
Repetition of the desire for communication and positive self-perception.
I just wanna tell you every thought that burns my veins
Reiteration of the desire to share intimate thoughts with the listener.
I just wanna sing you every song that haunts my days
Reiteration of the desire to sing emotionally charged songs.
I don't know
Uncertainty about the future reiterated.
What tomorrow holds
Reiteration of uncertainty about what lies ahead.
I just know what I want
Repetition of knowing desires but uncertainty about the future.
And I hope it's gonna be okay
Expressing hope that things will be okay.
Hope it's gonna be okay
Repetition of the hope for a positive outcome.
You're beautiful
Affirmation of the listener's beauty.
You're beautiful
Reiteration of the listener's beauty.
You are made of the same stuff, the same STARDUST so why shouldn't you??
Highlighting that the listener is made of the same stardust, implying their inherent value and deserving of love.
You're beautiful
Reiteration of the listener's beauty.
You're beautiful
-You are made of the same stuff, the same STARDUST so why shouldn't you??
Reiteration of the idea that the listener, like the speaker, is made of stardust and deserves love.
