Star Stuff
Starry Whispers: Embracing the Cosmic Messages in Slow Spirit's 'Star Stuff'
Lyrics
The salt the heat the waves echoing down
The elements of salt, heat, and waves reverberating
cn empty sea-side street
An empty street by the sea
You walk with a thought circling your head
Walking while a persistent thought encircles the mind
Like a giant blackbird from a local legend
Similar to a legendary giant blackbird
Your pace is brisk as you try to shake it
Walking quickly, attempting to rid oneself of it
But the moon rises like a police floodlight
The moon rising, casting light akin to police floodlights
In the civil twilight
In the twilight of civilization
cnd points omnipotence
Hinting at supreme power and direction
ct your infinite inside
Referencing the vastness within oneself
ch, come on, look up
Encouragement to look upwards
Come on and see the star stuff
To witness and experience the cosmic essence
Dancing like they're laughing up there
Imagining celestial entities joyfully dancing
ct all of us
Connecting humanity to this cosmic dance
One day you'll rise
A metaphor for personal growth and evolution
In time like an ocean tide
Time's passage compared to the ebb and flow of the ocean
If you listen she's whispering to you all the time
Suggesting constant subtle communication from the universe
cll the time
Emphasizing the continuous nature of this communication
The city street
Contrasting the urban environment and its noise
The traffic pounding in the space
Describing the incessant sound of traffic
Between all of your dreams
Amidst the gaps within aspirations and reality
You drown in grey
Feeling overwhelmed by a mundane and colorless existence
The music fades
The fading of inspiration or hope
cnd a cold wind blows your hope away
A chilling wind extinguishing optimism
ch, come on, look up
Reiteration of the encouragement to observe the cosmos
Come on and see the star stuff
To witness and experience the cosmic essence once more
Dancing like they're laughing up there
Imagining celestial entities joyfully dancing, reemphasized
ct all of us
Connecting humanity to this cosmic dance, reiterated
One day you'll rise
Continuation of the metaphor for personal growth
In time like an ocean tide
Comparing personal growth to the cyclical nature of time
If you listen she's whispering to you all the time
Highlighting the constant subtle communication from the universe, again
Salt water pulses in your bloodline
Referencing the influence of the sea in one's heritage
cnd the depths pulling
Suggesting a compelling force from the depths of the sea
The depths pulling in your mind
The sea's influence on the mind, persistent and continuous
cll the time
Emphasizing the everlasting nature of this influence
