We Are All Made of Stars
Debbie Harry/Moby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
(People they come together)
People they fall apart
(People they fall apart)
No one can stop us now
(No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(We are all made of stars)
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
'Cause we are all made of stars
(People they fall apart)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(We are all made of stars)
The song "We are all made of stars" by Debbie Harry and Moby starts by conveying a sense of inevitability – the fact that we, as a species, are growing and changing at an ever-increasing rate. There's a sense of motion and momentum that builds throughout the song, reinforced by the repetition of the lyric "growing in numbers, growing in speed." The lines "can't fight the future, can't fight what I see" suggest that there's a force driving us forward that we can't resist, no matter how hard we may try.
The chorus, "people they come together, people they fall apart," is a reflection of the human condition – no matter how much we may try to stay together, we inevitably end up fracturing and dividing. But the song doesn't dwell on this negativity, instead choosing to focus on the fact that no matter what happens, we're all "made of stars" – meaning that we all have the same cosmic origin and share the same fundamental nature.
As the song progresses, there's a sense that we can find hope and meaning in this unity – that if we focus on what we have in common rather than what divides us, we can work together to create a better future. This is reinforced by the final verse, which suggests that even though we may be rebuilding slowly, there's a sense of peace and growth that comes from being part of something larger than ourselves.
To summarise, "We are all made of stars" is a beautiful and hopeful song about humanity's shared destiny. Despite our differences and divisions, we all share the same cosmic origin and are all moving towards the same future.

Faltan los signos de interrogación. Sino pareciera que la la letra esta toda en afirmativo y no es esa la intención del compositor (me refiero en las estrofas, no en los estribillos).
