Shooting Stars
Ephemeral Dreams: Unveiling the Poetic Depths of 'Shooting Stars'
Lyrics
As time
Reflecting on the passage of time
Goes by
Acknowledging the progression of time
They never even told us why
Expressing confusion about the lack of explanation
These games
Referring to actions or activities in life
We played
Suggesting that certain experiences should be postponed
Must be saved for another day
Implying that certain actions or decisions should wait for the future
And the plans
Referring to previous intentions or aspirations
We made
Indicating that plans have been disrupted and only broken dreams remain
Only shattered hopes sculpted in clay
Describing shattered hopes symbolically as sculpted clay
And the lives
Referring to the course of lives
They swore
Suggesting that lives were spent in a futile effort
Were only spent closing a door
Indicating that lives were devoted to closing doors, possibly ending relationships
Everyone's gone once on this street
Highlighting a shared experience of loss or departure on a street
And the tear-stained shoes still on my feet
Indicating emotional distress through tear-stained shoes
I'm all alone and I don't know why
Expressing loneliness without understanding the reason
As I watch the stars fall from the sky
Observing stars falling from the sky, possibly symbolizing challenges or difficulties
Be Still
Advising to remain calm and composed
Pretend
Suggesting a facade or pretending to be unaffected
And the revelry never ends
Implying continuous celebration or festivities
It's hard
Expressing difficulty in experiencing genuine emotions
To feel
Questioning the authenticity of pain
If any of the pain is real
Suggesting that life experiences may feel unreal
And the life
Referring to the life one has known
I've known
Describing life as a shadow on stone, possibly suggesting an ephemeral nature
Is just a shadow cast upon stone
And the lives
Reiterating the idea that lives were committed to certain actions without full awareness
They swore
Emphasizing the lack of understanding about future consequences
But they didn't know what was in store
Highlighting the unpredictability of life events
Everyone's gone once on this street
Repeating the theme of loss or departure on a street
And the tear-stained shoes still on my feet
Reiterating emotional pain through tear-stained shoes
I'm all alone and I don't know why
Expressing confusion and solitude without a clear reason
As I watch the stars fall from the sky
Observing the falling stars as a metaphor for challenges or hardships
Everyone's gone once on this street
Repeating the theme of loss or departure on a street
And the tear-stained shoes still on my feet
Reiterating emotional distress through tear-stained shoes
I'm all alone and I don't know why
Expressing confusion and loneliness without clear understanding
As I watch the stars fall from the sky
Observing the falling stars as a continuing symbol of challenges
Everyone's gone once on this street
Repeating the theme of loss or departure on a street
And the tear-stained shoes still on my feet
Reiterating emotional distress through tear-stained shoes
I'm all alone and I don't know why
Expressing confusion and solitude without a clear reason
As I watch the stars fall from the sky
Observing the falling stars as a persistent symbol of challenges or difficulties
