Stars Come Down
Four Star Mary Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Start to laugh..... i think of you instead
But the jokes, bury me in the sand
And i choke amd lose all your feeling
I want to walk to the bridge that you always said
You'd jump off if things ever get real bad
But i stop....for fearing that if i did get to the top
I'd follow you
If the stars came down in a million showers
And i made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you
Would take your new life and give something from it
Instead of a lie and a broken promise
I'm here....if you care
Do you care?
Earthquakes throw me right out of bed
These fakes in the land of the living dead
I'd make a run for it but instead i stay
I secretly love it
What did you say? was it me you were laughing at?
You gave us hope, turned around, then you took it back
I want to know was it worth it?
I've got to know was it worth it?
If the stars came down in a million showers
And i made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you
Would you take take your new life and give something from it
Instead of a lie and a broken promise
I'm here.... if you care
Do you care?
The lyrics to Four Star Mary's song "Stars Come Down" seem to be about a person who is missing someone they care about deeply. The first verse talks about the voices in their head--perhaps suggesting that they are going through a difficult time emotionally--and how thinking of this person makes them feel better. However, the jokes bury them in sand and make them lose feeling, suggesting that they ultimately cannot escape their own troubles. The verse then takes a darker turn, as the singer thinks about walking to a bridge where the person they care about said they would jump off if things got bad. The singer is ultimately too afraid to go to the top of the bridge, fearing that they would follow the other person if they did. This line shows just how much the singer is struggling emotionally, and how much they rely on this person for hope and support.
The chorus then hits, with the singer pondering what they would do if their wish came true and the stars came down in a million showers, allowing them to make a wish that could truly flower and bloom over the person they care about. The lyrics suggest that the singer's wish for this person is that they find a way to give back and move on from their difficult past, rather than continuing to live with "a lie and a broken promise." The chorus ends with the singer wondering if the other person even cares about them--another indication that they are struggling with feelings of abandonment and isolation.
The second verse continues this theme of emotional turmoil, with the singer expressing how earthquakes throw them out of bed and how they feel like they are living among "fakes" in the "land of the living dead." Despite this, they stay where they are, secretly loving the chaos and uncertainty. Perhaps this is also a reflection of how they feel about their relationship with the other person--they are stuck in a chaotic situation but cannot bear to leave.
The final lines of the song ask the other person if their difficult past was worth it, and whether they even care about the singer anymore. The overall message seems to be one of deep longing and uncertainty--the singer is struggling to come to terms with their own feelings, their connection to the other person, and whether they will ever be able to find hope or a way forward.
Line by Line Meaning
Sometimes the voices in my head
At times, the thoughts in my mind overwhelms me
Start to laugh..... i think of you instead
When that happens, I turn my mind to thoughts of you
But the jokes, bury me in the sand
But the humor becomes too much, and I feel buried in the heavy emotions
And i choke amd lose all your feeling
It's so much to bear that I feel suffocated and numbed emotionally
I want to walk to the bridge that you always said
I feel the need to visit the bridge you talked about as my mind gets carried away
You'd jump off if things ever get real bad
The same bridge you threatened to jump off if things got too hard
But i stop....for fearing that if i did get to the top
But I hold back from going there because I fear that if I did
I'd follow you
I might be tempted to follow your path
If the stars came down in a million showers
If there was an extraordinary event like the stars coming down in a million showers
And i made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you
And if I could make a wish that could really blossom for you
Would take your new life and give something from it
Would you use your new life to make something of real value?
Instead of a lie and a broken promise
Instead of just giving empty promises
I'm here....if you care
I'm here for you, provided that you still care
Do you care?
Do you still have those feelings for me?
Earthquakes throw me right out of bed
Earthquakes are so violent that they physically throw me out of bed
These fakes in the land of the living dead
I encounter too many false people who live their lives like they are already dead
I'd make a run for it but instead i stay
I feel like making a run for it but instead, I choose to stay and face it
I secretly love it
Deep down, I actually love the excitement and adrenaline rush from it all
What did you say? was it me you were laughing at?
There are moments I'm not sure if you're laughing at me
You gave us hope, turned around, then you took it back
You once gave us a glimmer of hope, but then you went back on your word
I want to know was it worth it?
I can't help but question if it was worth it in the end
I've got to know was it worth it?
I need to know if there was any true value in what happened in the end
