Ride on a Star
De/Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the mere pretence
You dream to be a part
Of this perfect world
Wear your tempting grin
You'd do anything
Whatever it takes
To be his favourite girl
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
You burn so bright
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
Your dreams will die
For your star tonight
The fake world you adore
What did you take it for
You were just a pleasant change
In this unreal world
Never belong to him
You didn't mean anything
You were just another
Willing and stupid girl
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
You burn so bright
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
You take a ride on a star tonight
Now you feel so real
Your dreams will die
For your star tonight
Now you feel so real
The lyrics of De/Vision's song "Ride on a Star" explore the theme of aspiring to belong in a world that is not real or where the dream of belonging is nothing but a mere pretence. The song also touches upon the desire to be someone's favorite within that fake world, even if that means doing anything and everything to keep that place. The singer is portrayed as a girl who is tempted by the illusions of a world that promises to fulfill her dream of belonging, but the reality is that there is no place for her in that world. She's just another willing and stupid girl, who is used and then discarded.
The chorus of the song "Now you feel so real, you take a ride on a star tonight," could be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, it could mean that the singer feels real because she's finally living out her dream of belonging by being someone's favorite in the fake world. Secondly, it could also imply a sarcastic tone, where the singer knows that the world is not real, but she's still pretending to feel something just to fit in.
The song concludes with the singer's realization that "your dreams will die for your star tonight," meaning that the dream of belonging to a fake world is just that, a dream, and if she continues to pursue it, she will end up losing everything, including her dreams.
Overall, De/Vision's "Ride on a Star" is a cautionary tale that highlights the dangers of seeking validation and belonging in fake worlds, and the importance of being true to oneself.
