A Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has pulled us way.
Past torn and fast enough.
We'll never get away.
And I won't see you.
Fuck this fight away.
And if you don't break this day.
Then I'll die or die trying.
Because to say we beat this is everything
These lyrics in A Star's song "Round & Round" depict the struggle of a couple trapped in a city that has become old and run-down. The city metaphorically represents the deteriorating state of their relationship, which has been through many difficulties and challenges. The line "past torn and fast enough" suggests that they have been through a lot and have moved past it quickly, not giving themselves time to heal properly. The next line, "We'll never get away," shows the sense of being trapped in the situation they find themselves in.
The line "And I won't see you, fuck this fight away" expresses the singer's frustration and perhaps anger towards their partner. They may be tired of trying to make it work and just want to give up. The following line, "And if you don't break this day, then I'll die or die trying," shows the determination of the singer to try and save the relationship at any cost. The final line, "To steal us away because to say we beat this is everything," shows that they believe that if they are able to overcome their struggles and make their relationship work, it will be a great victory for them.
Line by Line Meaning
And this city rusted worn.
This old and damaged city that we live in.
Has pulled us way.
Has separated us from each other.
Past torn and fast enough.
Beyond repair and too quickly to keep up with.
We'll never get away.
We won't be able to escape this situation.
And I won't see you.
I won't be able to see you again.
Fuck this fight away.
Let's stop trying to fight this situation.
And if you don't break this day.
If you don't overcome this today.
Then I'll die or die trying.
I'll do whatever it takes to make things better, even if it kills me.
To steal us away.
To take us away from this unpleasant situation.
Because to say we beat this is everything
Because being able to say that we overcame this is the most important thing.
