Dead Star
Enisum Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this shadow
I cry
In this shadow
I seek a light
Please dont let me down
Please dont let me down
I am nothing in this life
Like a dead star

In the sky tonight
Oh i feel nothing
I am nothing
In this life

Like a dead star
In the sky tonight...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dead Star" by Enisum describe a person lost in a dark place, seeking a way out. The opening lines "In this shadow, I cry, In this shadow, I seek a light," set the mood for a desperate plea for help. The repetition of "Please don't let me down" becomes almost an obsession of the person, representing their fear of being left alone in the darkness. The next lines, "I am nothing in this life, Like a dead star in the sky tonight," paint a picture of someone who feels insignificant and worthless, like a star that has lost its light.

The repetition of "Oh, I feel nothing, I am nothing, In this life, Like a dead star in the sky tonight," expresses the person’s despair, and a feeling of being lost and irrelevant. The imagery of the dead star acts as a metaphor for the person suffering from depression, asking for someone to take notice and help them out of their darkness. The song reflects on the emptiness of life and the struggles of an individual grappling with their own identity in the face of their own doubts.

Feeling lost in darkness and despair

I cry
Expressing sadness and pain

In this shadow
Continuing to feel lost and alone

I seek a light
Searching for hope and guidance

Please dont let me down

Please dont let me down
Reiterating the need for assistance

I am nothing in this life
Feeling insignificant and worthless

Like a dead star
Comparing oneself to a celestial body that has lost its light and purpose

In the sky tonight
Visible and present, but lacking its former brilliance

Oh i feel nothing
Emptiness and numbness

I am nothing
