Actarus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because the adventure's in my mind
My Ufo Robot in the sky, my Ufo Robot in the sky
Ready, my Ufo Robot in the space
And change your body in your face
My Ufo Robot in the space, my Ufo Robot in the space
Fly, my Ufo Robot in the sky
Against the monster of the night
My Ufo Robot in the sky, my Ufo Robot in the sky
Shooting Star, Shooting Star, Shooting Star, Shooting Star
Shooting Star, Shooting Star, Shooting Star, Shooting Star
Fly, my Ufo Robot in the sky
Because the adventure's in my mind
My Ufo Robot in the sky, my Ufo Robot in the sky
Shooting Star, Shooting Star, Shooting Star, Shooting Star
The lyrics of Actarus's song "Shooting Star" describe the adventures of a UFO robot in the sky and in space. The singer is encouraging the robot to take flight and go on adventures because they exist solely in the singer's mind. The lyrics suggest that despite there being no physical evidence or reality for the adventures of the UFO robot, they still hold value and bring excitement to the singer.
The next section of lyrics mentions the ability for the UFO robot to change its body and face, presumably transforming to adapt to different environments and situations. The singer urges the robot to use this ability and come face-to-face with the "monsters of the night," further emphasizing the excitement and thrill of the adventures the singer has conjured up in their mind.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Shooting Star" several times, perhaps serving as both a reminder of the beauty and excitement of space as well as the fleeting nature of the experiences in the singer's mind.
Overall, the lyrics of "Shooting Star" convey a sense of childhood wonder and imagination, where anything is possible in the imagination and reality is not a limitation.
