Elysian Fields Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrounding my planet
Arousing my planet
Round, round, and around
Surrounding my planet
Arousing my planet
Beaten chamber, almost numb
It's beating faster and faster
Slow down dear, slow down
Round, round, and around
Flying me forward
Thrusting me far
Round, round, and around
You caught me a star
You can make me if you try
Gently like a lullaby
You dig me deeper and deeper
Go down dear, go down
You are the ink, drawing me
You are the mouth, gnawing me
Yours in the voice, calling me
Star, star
You can make me if you try
Gently like a lullaby
Hold me tight inside your arms
Make me feel just like a star
Like a star
You can find me if you try
Slip into the needles eye
Fold me, hold me like a charm
Make me feel just like a star
Like a star, like a star
Like a star, like a star
The lyrics of Elysian Fields's song Star depict the sensation of being enraptured by someone or something, ultimately feeling as if you're a star. The repeated motif of "round, round, and around" creates a sense of being caught up in a cycle that leads to the feeling of being thrusted far forward after being caught like a star. The idea of being a "star" is conveyed through the use of metaphors such as "ink drawing me" and "mouth gnawing me" which suggest a creative force that imbues the singer with a strong sense of identity.
The lyrics also play with the sensations of the heart, with the description of a "beaten chamber, almost numb" and the caution to "slow down dear, slow down." The singer is experiencing a rush of emotions that is encapsulated in the image of their heart beating faster and faster. The song's message is ultimately one of surrendering oneself to the overwhelming force of attraction, being drawn in and held tight, like a charm. In essence, it describes the feeling of being in love or being creatively inspired.
