Barely a Star
Frans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You left me here with a bottle of the truth
We can stay apart for 11 years
Quz I'm barely a star and you're the atmosphere,
Untouchable thing about you is the distance
A game of chess but I prefer twister
Odds are high that we ever crash my dear
Some people they wait for opportunity or chance,
A common mistake, we surly stand further apart
But I would rather have this I know you're unaware
Cuz I'm barely a star and you're the atmosphere
Untouchable thing about you is the distance
A game of chess but I prefer twister
Odds are high that we ever crash my dear
I'm barley a star and you're the atmosphere
(We are way to close, but still so far
We are way to close, but still so far
We are way to close, but still so far
We are way to close, but still so far)
Way to close
Still so far
Way to close
We are way to close, but still so far)
Untouchable thing about you is the distance
A game of chess but I prefer twister
Odds are high that we ever crash my dear
I'm barley a star and you're the atmosphere
Frans's song "Barely a Star" is a profound expression of the singer's feelings towards a person he loves. The opening lyrics, "The city lights they shine bright when I'm with you, You left me here with a bottle of the truth," highlight the euphoric feeling that the singer experiences when he is with the person he loves. However, as the song progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that the singer understands that he is "barely a star" while the person he loves is "the atmosphere." This implies that the loved one is much larger than the singer, and their distance makes their relationship complex and hard to reach.
The phrase "Untouchable thing about you is the distance" is a metaphor for how the distance between the singer and their loved one is both what draws them together and keeps them apart. The line, "Odds are high that we'll ever crash, my dear" is another suggestion that the distance is a necessary part of their love in keeping them from colliding and crashing. The final verse of the song shows the singer's willingness to accept the distance between them and the one he loves, even though it may hurt him, convey the message that their relationship is not about being physically close, but more about a connection that transcends distance.
Overall, the song "Barely a Star" is a beautiful, deeply emotional expression of the complexity and depth of romantic love. It highlights the idea that love is more than just physical proximity and requires a deep understanding and acceptance of distance.
