International Anthem
All-Stars United Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to this
I'm transcending English
Something's bigger
Than the national hymn
If you're thick,too thin
Green,blue or pinkish
Hum together with a cellophane skin
A holy karaoke

Prayer in stereo
Here it comes
Here's to You
To the kings and queens
And all the President's men
It doesn't matter if you're strong
King Kong
Lose the things between yourself and Heaven
And then, when you're ready,
you can hum along
Our holy karaoke
Prayer in stereo
From down to here below
In gratitude
From Coco to Moscow
We hope You're pleased
With these rhyme schemes

And musical score
Like never before

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of All-Stars United's song International Anthem touch upon the idea of transcending language barriers and boundaries to unite together with music. The first line, "Listen to this/I'm transcending English" sets the tone for this idea of communicating through music beyond just spoken language. The lyrics go on to suggest that there is something bigger than the national hymn, which implies that music can be a universal language that can connect different people from different countries and cultures. The song is encouraging people to come together, regardless of their differences, and "hum together with a cellophane skin" as a symbol of being transparent and vulnerable.

The reference to "holy karaoke" and "prayer in stereo" may convey the idea that music is a way of worship and connecting with the divine or spiritual essence. The song also acknowledges the power of music to surpass labels and classifications such as skin color, size or physical appearance, as well as national, political, and social affiliations. It speaks of unifying all to hum along to a joyful, uplifting melody as a gesture of gratitude for life's blessings.

Listen to this
Pay attention to what we are about to say

I'm transcending English
I am going beyond just the English language

Something's bigger
This is more important than just a small thing

Than the national hymn
More important than a patriotic song

If you're thick, too thin
Regardless of your body shape or size

Green, blue, or pinkish
No matter what your skin color or tone is

Hum together with a cellophane skin
We should all come together and sing this song despite our physical differences

A holy karaoke
A sacred singing session

Prayer in stereo
We are sending our prayers out loud and clear

Here it comes
The song is about to start

Here's to You
Cheers to all of you

Also including those in high political positions

It doesn't matter if you're strong
Even if you are physically or mentally strong

King Kong
A nod to the fictional character's strength

Our holy karaoke
A communal spiritual activity

Prayer in stereo
We are chanting in unity

From down to here below
From the lowest depths to the highest peaks

In gratitude
Out of appreciation and thankfulness

From Coco to Moscow
From all corners of the world

We hope You're pleased
We hope that a higher power is happy with what we are doing

With these rhyme schemes
The way in which the lyrics rhyme

And musical score
The music that accompanies the song

Like never before
Unlike anything that has been done before
