Star
Rising from Shadows: Unveiling the Deeper Meaning of 'Star' by Noël Wells
Lyrics
I'm gonna be a star
I aspire to achieve fame.
They're gonna pull me down
There will be attempts to bring me down.
I'll hang myself back up
I will recover and rise again.
And we will do it again
We will repeat this process.
I'm gonna be a star
Reiteration of the aspiration for fame.
They're gonna tear me down
Expectations of criticism and setbacks.
I'll dust myself back off
I will overcome challenges and continue.
And we will do it again
We will go through this cycle again.
Do it again
Emphasis on the repetition of the process.
It seemed so easy to live happiness
Living a happy life seemed easy.
And even easier with all our friends
It was even easier with friends.
When we grew older we fell one by one
As time passed, friends drifted away.
Have we forgotten we all said
Questioning if promises were forgotten.
Let us be the sun, sun
Remembering the shared desire for greatness.
I'm gonna be a star
Reaffirmation of the desire for fame.
You're gonna bring me down
Expecting external factors to hinder success.
And I'll come crawling back
Despite setbacks, resilience to return.
And we will do it again
The cycle of pursuit continues.
Do it again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of the journey.
It seems so silly we live separateness
Reflecting on the sense of isolation.
And even sillier we're both God's kids
Acknowledging a shared divine connection.
When we were younger we would hold on tight
Recalling the tight bonds of youth.
And we'd scream into the night
Expressing emotions under the night sky.
Let us be the sky, sky
Desire for unity and vastness like the sky.
We're gonna both be stars
Mutual aspiration for fame.
We're going to drag each other down
Recognition of mutual challenges.
But we'll come rising up
Confidence in rising above difficulties together.
And we will do it again
Commitment to repeating the journey.
They'll love us again
Anticipation of renewed admiration from others.
They'll love you again
Assurance that love and recognition will return.
You'll love me again
Expressing hope for mutual affection.
