Unhook the Stars
Andrew Younker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'd like you to stick around,
Even if the hurricane is bringing you down
Can I ever tell you all about my shitty day?
I promise it won't take very long, I've got Zelda to play
Don't go
Stay until the oceans run out of salt
I don't care what the doctor said if the doctor said it to me
I'll unhook the stars right above your
Head if you don't wanna hear it from me
Ohhhh what a member
Ohhhh what a choice
Ohhhh to remember the sound of your voice
Pooling, i'm pooling
Can I get some sunshine and a sidewinder?
Go and take my money, i'm not funny
I'm not kidding, that's for sure
The lyrics of Andrew Younker's Unhook The Stars are a sentimental plea to a loved one who is going through a tough time. The singer is trying to convince the person not to give up and to stay with them, even if things are difficult. They acknowledge that the hurricane of life's struggles may be causing the person to feel overwhelmed, but they still want them to stick around. The singer even offers to listen to the person's problems, promising that it won't take long, as they have a distraction in the form of a video game.
The chorus is particularly powerful, as the singer implores the person not to leave, even if a doctor has given them bad news. The imagery of unhooking the stars above their head is a touching metaphor for the singer's willingness to help the person in any way they can. The bridge of the song takes a different turn, with the singer expressing a desire for some sunshine and a drink, possibly indicating their own struggles. However, the final line of the bridge, "I'm not kidding, that's for sure," brings the focus back to the seriousness of the situation at hand, and once again emphasizes the singer's willingness to be there for the person they love.
Overall, Unhook The Stars is a heartwarming song, with lyrics that showcase love, support, and a strong desire to help someone in a time of need.
