Your Star Will Shine
The Stone Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through deep blue velvet skies
Shine for all the world to see
The universe in your eyes
When the storm outside is raging
And the dogs they howl your name
Lay down, sleep, I'll kiss you
Your star will shine again
Na na na na na na na na
Hush my darling, don't you cry
I'll stay by your side until morning
All through the night, I'll watch the skies
And your distant sun
Will shine like the gun
That's trained right between your daddy's eyes
The Stone Roses' song "Your Star Will Shine" is a beautiful and emotional ballad that speaks to the eternal and universal nature of love. The song's lyrics speak of a lover or a partner who is going through a difficult time, perhaps due to some kind of trauma or heartbreak, and the singer promises to be there for them no matter what, helping them weather the storm until their star shines again.
The opening lines suggest that the person in question has gone through a dark period and has retreated within themselves, but the singer remains optimistic that their star will shine again, illuminating the darkness and radiating the beauty of the universe. Despite the chaos and turmoil of the outside world, the singer offers the reassurance of their steadfast love and support, promising to stay by their partner's side and watch over them through the night.
The chorus is simple but powerful, repeating the affirmation that the person's star will shine again, a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The song's final lines suggest a possible cause for the person's pain and anguish, referring to a traumatic event involving their father. However, the metaphorical language and dreamlike quality of the song leave the interpretation open to personal reflection and introspection, encouraging listeners to find their own meaning within the lyrics.

Your star will shine again one day
Your brilliance and potential will once again be recognized and celebrated
Through deep blue velvet skies
In the vast expanse of the universe and all its mysteries
Shine for all the world to see
Let your light be a beacon of hope and inspiration for everyone around you
The universe in your eyes
Your passion and curiosity reflects the wonders of the cosmos
When the storm outside is raging
During the turbulent times and conflicts you face in the physical world
And the dogs they howl your name
The people and forces against you are making their presence known
Lay down, sleep, I'll kiss you
Rest easy, for I will provide comfort and assurance
Your star will shine again
Have faith that your talents and potential will not be extinguished
Hush my darling, don't you cry
Be still, be calm, don't let your emotions overwhelm you
I'll stay by your side until morning
I'll be here to support and comfort you through the night
All through the night, I'll watch the skies
I'll keep vigil, looking for signs of hope and inspiration in the stars
And your distant sun
Your hopes and dreams that seem far off and unattainable
Will shine like the gun
Will be as powerful and impactful as a weapon
That's trained right between your daddy's eyes
A reference to conflict and competition with authority figures and societal expectations
