The lyrics to Avril Lavigne's song Black Star convey a message of encouragement and empowerment that anyone can achieve greatness and become a shining star. The repetition of "black star" throughout the song reinforces the idea that there is no limit to what one can accomplish if they set their mind to it. The opening lines of the song "black star, black star, forever you will be" suggest that this energy and potential is something that endures over time.
As the song progresses, Lavigne switches to addressing the subject of the song directly as "rock star." However, this is not meant to suggest that the song is only for musicians or people in the entertainment industry. Rather, "rock star" is used as a metaphor for anyone who has the passion and drive to pursue their dreams and make a mark in the world. The final lines of the song repeat "black star" several times, driving home the message that anything is possible if one believes in themselves and works towards their goals.
