Stars Are Overrated
Yearning for Recognition: Stars' Overrated Glimpse
Lyrics
From this far you can't even see the stars
Observing stars is impossible from this distance.
On the boulevard, on the boulevard
Referencing a location, possibly the boulevard, emphasizing the distance from the stars.
From out here, the praise won't hit your ears
Praise or recognition is not audible from this distant perspective.
No matter who you are
Regardless of identity, the distance from stars remains constant.
Who you are
Reiteration of the universal nature of being distant from stars.
I got high enough and made it close enough to see
Personal experience of getting closer to the stars.
That all these stars are overrated
Expressing a belief that stars are not as significant as perceived.
Looking down on you and me
Stars are viewed as looking down on people, suggesting a sense of superiority.
Never close enough to touch
The distance prevents physical contact with the stars.
I'd be lying if I said it was ever enough
Admission that the experience of getting close to stars was not fulfilling.
Cause I'm still wishing on the day that you'd look up and see me
Expressing a desire for recognition and connection from someone specific.
You get in the car and you hear me on the radio
Being heard on the radio, indicating success and visibility.
Talking bout how far I got after you let me go
Reflecting on achievements after a significant relationship ended.
I'm taking off on every billboard, magazine, dinner with the king and queen
List of achievements, yet the desire remains unfulfilled.
Richer than the rest and I'd have given it all to you
Despite success, the singer would trade it all for a particular person.
Hey, hey, it's true
Reiterating the truth of the preceding statement.
I got high enough and made it close enough to see
Repeating the experience of getting close to stars and finding them overrated.
That all these stars are overrated
Stars are perceived as overvalued, emphasizing their insignificance.
Looking down on you and me
Stars' distant perspective remains unchanged.
Never close enough to touch
Physical closeness to stars is unattainable.
I'd be lying if I said it was ever enough
Admission that the previous experience was insufficient.
Cause I'm still wishing on the day that you'd look up and see
Continued desire for recognition and connection from a specific person.
You'd see me with the stars and driving fancy cars and blowing up on TMZ
Imagining a scenario where the person acknowledges the singer's success.
I'm wearing some designer clothes in clubs that no one knows
Describing a glamorous lifestyle in pursuit of recognition.
Oh, that's where you'll find me
Specific location where the singer can be found in the described lifestyle.
But now I'm way out here with no one near
Current isolation, abandoning the dream for recognition.
Oh, I left that dream behind
Reflecting on leaving behind the pursuit of fame and recognition.
Just wishing maybe someday, someway, somehow, my stars they would align
Expressing a lingering hope for alignment of personal aspirations with success.
I got high enough and made it close enough to see
Repeating the experience of getting close to stars and finding them overrated.
All these stars are overrated
Reiteration of the belief that stars are overrated.
Looking down on you and me
Stars are perceived as looking down on people, suggesting a sense of superiority.
Never close enough to touch
Physical closeness to stars is unattainable.
I'd be lying if I said it was ever enough
Admission that the previous experience was insufficient.
Cause I'm still wishing on the day that you'd look up and see me
Continued desire for recognition and connection from a specific person.
