Starlight
Fictional Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twin blue glimmers beneath your brows
The reflections of their shadows
Are there on your stubby nose
In your eyes I see the glimmers
Like spilled treasures of starlight
Reflections of the moon
In the night I am by your side
You don't have to be alone
'Cause there is no reason why
You should keep your heart of stone
Life goes on the way it is
It's up to you what you make of it
'Cause there is no reason why
You should take just a little bit
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
In war and peace
We will trust
During the good times
And during the bad
We stay united
Lets go ahead
The first two lines of the song Starlight by Fictional depict a vivid image of the person the artist is looking at. The "firelight caught in your eyes" creates a sense of warmth, while the "twin blue glimmers beneath your brows" suggest a sort of ethereal, otherworldly quality. The reflections of their shadows on the person's nose add to this image of a person almost touched by magic. The chorus focuses on the glimmers of starlight in the person's eyes, adding to the mystical aura of the image. Fictional seems to be conveying that they see something special and unique in this person.
As the song continues, the lyrics hint at a sadness hidden behind the person's eyes, and the artist offers comfort, saying "you don't have to be alone." The lines "life goes on the way it is, it's up to you what you make of it" suggest that the artist is trying to encourage the person to make positive changes in their life, to move forward rather than staying in one place. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the special quality the artist sees in the person.
The final lines of the song describe the human experience as fleeting, stating "ashes to ashes and dust to dust." War and peace are mentioned, and while the imagery is slightly dark, the overall message is one of unity and strength through adversity. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the encouragement to move forward together.
