Far From The Stars
Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things are always different than you want them all to be
I have learned a million times you can just make it bad
Ain’t no way to change these things to what you wanna see
We take control of our whole wide universe
We are pretending we don‘t need no helping hand
We try to take control of all our whole wide world
Far from the stars
There might be a higher being we may not yet see
Far from the stars
A better life could wait for me
Every time I lose control I learn a little more
We are not the ones to regulate or justify
Every time I see the world turns round I understand
We are not the ones to dominate or modify
We take control of our whole wide universe
We are pretending we don‘t need no helping hand
We try to take control of all our whole wide world
But we will never understand
Far from the stars
There might be a higher being we may not yet see
Far from the stars
A better life could wait for me
Nobody knows where it begins or where it ends
Time only shows we‘re holding nothing in our hands
Wasting our time trying to know the universe
The end of the line is that we can not live without a strong belief
Far from the stars
There might be a higher being we may not yet see
Far from the stars
A better life could wait for me
The lyrics of Helloween's song "Far From The Stars" explore the theme of control and the limitations of human beings in understanding and shaping their world. The singer reflects on their attempts to take control of their universe and make things the way they want them to be, only to realize that they cannot always achieve their desired outcomes. The lyrics suggest that despite humans' impulse to regulate and dominate, there are many things beyond our control, including the vastness of the universe and the unknown.
The singer advocates for a humble approach to existence and recognizes that there might be a higher being or a better life that humans haven't yet seen or understood. The idea of being "far from the stars" implies a sense of distance and remoteness, but also of potentiality and wonder. The singer suggests that humans should not waste their time trying to know everything about the universe but instead develop a strong belief that can guide and comfort them.
Overall, "Far From The Stars" is a reflective and philosophical song that invites listeners to contemplate the mysteries of existence and the role of humans within it.
