Starlight
Argonaut & Wasp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and suddenly ill find
that I’m back at the start of the line
it aint right
how I’m turning circles
just to dance back to the light
its not like me
why do i always talk when
Theres not much to say
oh i know I’ve been
acting strangely lately
hoping i could be
better than my normal self
oh its only plastic
just to help me get by
Just to help me get by
go figure
my mind
is just a camera
In time
Go figure
My mind
Is just a corner
in time
Look all around you
And tell me what you see
Do all the dreams at night
Keep you from your sleep
oh i know I’ve been
acting strangely lately
hoping i could be
better than my normal self
oh its only plastic
just to help me get by
Just to help me get by
go figure
my mind
is just a camera
In time
Go figure
My mind
Is just a corner
in time
In "Starlight" by Argonaut & Wasp, the lyrics depict the singer's confusion about their current situation in life, where they feel like they're going in circles and unable to progress forward. They describe this frustration with phrases such as "turning circles just to dance back to the light" and "back at the start of the line." The singer reassures themselves that it's only temporary with the lyrics, "oh it's only plastic, just to help me get by." Despite this, they can't help but feel like they're "complicating the ways" and "always talk[ing] when there's not much to say."
The chorus of the song mentions the idea of time, with the singer describing their mind as "just a camera in time" and "just a corner in time." They ask the listener to "look all around you and tell me what you see," perhaps suggesting that they wish they could see things more clearly or gain a new perspective.
Overall, "Starlight" is a song that captures the frustration and confusion of feeling stuck, but also provides a sense of hope that the situation is temporary. The use of time-related imagery suggests the idea that the singer is hopeful to move forward and progress out of this stagnant period in their life.

overnight
Suddenly and unexpectedly
and suddenly ill find
And before I know it, I've found
that I’m back at the start of the line
That I'm back to where I began
it aint right
It's not correct or fair
how I’m turning circles
How I'm going in circles or repeating patterns
just to dance back to the light
Just to end up back where I started, in a happier place
its not like me
This isn't typical behavior for me
to complicate the ways
To make things more difficult or confusing
why do i always talk when Theres not much to say
Why do I feel the need to speak even when there isn't anything important to say
oh i know I’ve been acting strangely lately
Oh, I'm aware of my odd recent behavior
hoping i could be better than my normal self
Wanting to improve myself beyond my usual abilities
oh its only plastic
Oh, it's just superficial or fake
just to help me get by
To assist me in coping or making it through
go figure my mind is just a camera In time
It's interesting to note that my mind is simply a recording device that captures the passage of time
Go figure My mind Is just a corner in time
It's curious that my mind is just a small moment or representation of the greater concept of time
Look all around you
Take a moment to observe your surroundings
And tell me what you see
And describe to me what you're noticing
Do all the dreams at night
Do the dreams that occur while asleep
Keep you from your sleep
Prevent you from getting restful sleep
