We Hang Like Stars
Glowing in the Dark Together: Mat Kerekes' Celestial Connection
Lyrics
We hang like stars
We exist prominently and shine like stars.
We are glow in the dark to them
We are luminous in the darkness, but others may not perceive or understand us.
Can’t tell us apart
We are indistinguishable from each other.
Can’t even feel it, no way
Our connection is subtle or intangible, not easily felt or detected.
I just want to keep you
An expression of a desire to maintain or preserve the relationship.
I’ve seen this film before, I just skip the ending
Having experienced similar situations before, the speaker chooses to avoid the expected outcome.
If you’re going, best believe I’m coming with you
If you decide to leave, rest assured that I will accompany you.
You’re a sunset
Comparing someone to a sunset, possibly implying beauty and a limited lifespan.
First breath to casket, no tricks
Life is depicted from the first breath to the casket, emphasizing the inevitability of death without deception.
We hang like stars
Reiteration of the idea of being connected or shining together like stars.
You can even see it up there
Suggesting that the connection is visible or evident even in the celestial realm.
I just want to keep you
Expressing a desire to maintain or preserve the relationship, echoing line 6.
I’ve seen this film before, I just skip the ending
Reflecting on past experiences and choosing to avoid the anticipated conclusion, echoing line 8.
If you’re going, best believe I’m coming with you
Reiterating the commitment to accompany the other person if they decide to leave.
I’ve been here once before, I just can’t remember
The speaker has encountered a similar situation before but struggles to recall the details.
If you’re going, best believe I’m coming with you
If the other person decides to go, the speaker is determined to go along with them.
