Shooting Star
Rhesus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
writing silly words on a wall
the bleeding memories
your pretty face coming down the hall
it's allright it's allright
i'm just a little tired
well come on, look at me i can smile
if you want me to i could even kill you
shooting star
okay okay
shooting star
okay okay
he's just a lonely boy sadly looking at this lovely toy
you can blame me if you want to
you can't get back anyway
you can blame me if you want to
you can't get back anyway
shooting star
okay okay
shooting star
okay okay
he's just a lonely boy sadly looking at this lovely toy
(if you don't get it back, you gotta let it out)
The lyrics of Rhesus's song "Shooting Star" portray an individual who is at a party, feeling somewhat disillusioned by the event. They describe themselves as writing silly words on a wall while being haunted by bleeding memories, only to catch sight of a pretty face coming down the hall. The singer seems to be struggling with their emotions, stating that they are just tired but also acknowledging that they can smile if others want them to. The most striking part of the song comes next, where the singer suggestively states that they could even kill others if asked to do so.
The chorus of the song, "shooting star, okay okay," repeats multiple times, perhaps suggesting that the singer is looking for something or someone to give them direction or guidance. The song then repeats the stanza about the singer being a lonely boy, sadly looking at a lovely toy. The final line of the song, "if you don't get it back, you gotta let it out," perhaps hints at the singer's pent-up emotions and the need to express them.
One interpretation of the song could be that the singer is struggling with mental health issues, such as depression or anxiety, and the party is triggering these emotions. The bleeding memories and loneliness could be a metaphor for a traumatic event that the singer is struggling to come to terms with. The mention of killing someone could be an extreme manifestation of the singer's feelings of frustration and anger.
