Fish Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a fool to myself, there could be nobody else, I was lying
To even think I could survive without your love, I can't deny it.
Then you showed me the way, and I will follow,
To the end of my days; I will follow
You show me the way. To the thirteenth star.
You know it, and now I'm here.
If I held out my heart and offered my hand would you take it,
If I show you the way, so will you follow?
To the end of your days, will you follow?
Let me take you away,
Would you follow the thirteenth star?
There's point in your life, you got to reach and when you do,
You know it, and now I'm here.
If I held out my heart and offered my hand would you take it,
Let me show you the way, will you follow?
Will you follow the thirteenth star?
I will follow the thirteenth star.

He asks if this person would do the same if he showed them the way and offered his hand, to which the answer is left open-ended. The song ends with the singer's commitment to following the thirteenth star.
The lyrics of "13th Star" are open to interpretation, inviting individual relevance and personal resonance. The song could be about redemption, self-discovery or finding one's true love.

The thirteenth star could represent a destination or a symbol of a higher power. Overall, the song is an invitation to follow an unknown path with faith and commitment.
