Humble Star
Blessid Union Of Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Back lounge tree hound
Glazed sun hell bound
Call up al your closest friends
So we can do it all again
Hey, humble star
Do you think you're gonna live forever
But what's forever
Did you ever have the feeling you were falling, walking
Now you're crawling

Blind man coke fan
Politician
Guess what you got it all too soon
Now your sucking on a glass balloon
Hey, humble star
Do you think you're gonna live forever
But what's forever
Is it better than what they bought and sold you
Now they control your soul

And all the time you knew that I was standing there
Asking all the questions, who and why and where.

You run and hide you swim away
Afraid of all the things I say
Now the time caught up with you

Fast car child star
j.a.p. girl rap czar
No one is to blame
How's it feel to be a household name
Someone's about to lose
And it's playing on the evening news

Hey, crumbled star
I guess it didn't last forever
Does it ever




Forever's never
I guess you really weren't so clever.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blessid Union Of Souls's song "Humble Star" highlight the fleeting nature of fame and fortune. The mentioning of various characters like blind man coke fan, politician, fast car child star, and rap czar represent the people who have achieved celebrity status in different fields. However, the song suggests that achieving fame and success comes at a cost. The line "what's forever, did you ever have the feeling you were falling, walking, now you're crawling" indicates that the people who were once thriving now find themselves struggling to hold onto their power and maintain their position in society. The song addresses the disillusioned nature of celebrity where the individuals who strive to achieve fame and fortune often lose themselves in the process and become puppets whose lives are controlled by those in power.


The lyrics also suggest that there is a price to be paid for living a life in the public eye. The line, "now they control your soul" refers to how the people who achieve celebrity status are manipulated and controlled by others in the industry. Furthermore, the lyrics indicate that the pursuit of fame and fortune can lead to a shallow existence where people are defined by their status and wealth. The song emphasizes the transitory nature of fame and how it can leave people feeling empty and unfulfilled. The lyrics imply that the quest for fame and fortune often leads people to prioritize material gains over emotional and spiritual ones and ultimately becomes a hollow existence.
