Dark Star
Poliça Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is all mine
Not my child not my child
Hold you just a little while
I'm gonna give her all my life
Until she's until she's
Swooped up by the sea of love
Ain't a man in this world who can pull me down
From my dark star dark star
I will remain there
Its done me good so far
What is mine, what is all mine
Not my child not my child
Hold you just a little while
I'm gonna give her all my life
Until she's until she's
Swooped up, swooped up, by the sea of love
Ain't a man in this world who can pull me down
From my dark star dark star
I will remain there
It's done me good so far
What is mine, ooh
What is all mine
Not my child, not my child
Hold you just a little while
Im gonna give her all my life
Until she's, until she's
Swooped up by the sea of love
The lyrics of Poliça's song "Dark Star" express a sense of ownership and protection over a child, but also a desire for that child to eventually be swept away by the sea of love. The repetition of "What is mine, what is all mine" emphasizes the possessiveness of the singer's feelings, while the line "Not my child not my child" implies a state of confusion or ambiguity about the relationship. The singer plans to dedicate their entire life to the child, but also acknowledges that eventually they will be taken away by the "sea of love".
The refrain of the song, "Ain't a man in this world who can pull me down from my dark star dark star, I will remain there, it's done me good so far", suggests a sense of defiance and steadfastness in the singer's character. The "dark star" could be interpreted as a symbol of their intense emotions or obsession with the child, and the acknowledgement that it has "done me good so far" implies that the singer is comfortable with their feelings and is willing to protect them.
At the same time, the repetition and ambiguous phrasing of the lyrics illustrate the complexity of the singer's emotions, which may include love, possessiveness, and a sense of loss or sorrow. Overall, "Dark Star" is a melancholic and introspective song that explores the depths of human emotion and connection.

Is it just me or this song is hypnotic, I can't just listen to it once, I play it in loop, I want more every time , love the bass and the drums, her voice is mystical , gets me out of my chair and I can't stop dancing to it, it cheers me up, it's like eating a sorbet in a hot day. And it's like a cozy fireplace in winter
