Starman
Electric Youth & Sally Shapiro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It happened so fast
those visions in my mind
although could it pass
your other different path
it seems you come down from the stars,
and somehow you are still so much human then they are
I want to love you, mister Starman
Love, can happen so fast,
and some say that's it's mine
the future is past
you're from a different time,
tell me is is from there that you came?
a different sense I'll ask
but our hearts are still the same
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman
Don't go away alone
Don't go away alone
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman
The lyrics to Electric Youth & Sally Shapiro's song "Starman" are an exploration of the sudden and intense feelings of love that can arise when two people from vastly different backgrounds and experiences meet. The singer in the song is expressing their desire to connect with the object of their affection, who they refer to as "mister Starman." They feel as though this person has come from another world, perhaps even descended from the stars themselves, and yet they still feel a deep connection to them. The singer is torn between their desire to understand this person and their fear of being left alone without them.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and intensity to the emotions being expressed. The singer feels as though they have been waiting for this person their whole life and cannot bear the thought of losing them. Despite their different paths and experiences, they share a common humanity and a desire for connection. The person they are addressing is an enigmatic figure, both human and otherworldly, and the singer is drawn to them because of this.
Overall, "Starman" is a song about the power of love to transcend boundaries and bring people together, no matter how different their backgrounds and experiences may be. It is a celebration of the human capacity for connection and the importance of taking risks and following your heart, even in the face of uncertainty and ambiguity.

When?
When did this happen?
It happened so fast
It happened suddenly and unexpectedly
those visions in my mind
The images in my head
although could it pass
Even though it may have gone unnoticed
your other different path
Your unique journey
it seems you come down from the stars
You appear to have come from outer space
and somehow you are still so much human then they are
But you still retain your humanity
Love, can happen so fast
Love can happen suddenly
and some say that's it's mine
And some argue that it's predetermined
the future is past
The future is always becoming the past
you're from a different time
You're from a different era
tell me is is from there that you came?
I want to know if you're really from there
a different sense I'll ask
I'll ask in a different way
but our hearts are still the same
But we still feel the same emotions
Don't go away alone
Don't leave me by myself
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to understand you
I want to love you, mister Starman
I want to love you, despite our differences
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to truly know you
I want to love you, mister Starman
I want to love you, no matter what
