Starlight

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

다른밤하늘 아래
Daleunbamhaneul alae
같은 별을 보던 날
Gat-eun byeol-eul bodeon nal

Starlight oh starlight
Starlight oh starlight
If you take me faraway i'll stay by your side
When was the sunset of last summer
Shall we come closer
If you take me faraway
I'll stay by your side

Look at the star
Look at the star

서로 다른 길에도
Seolo daleun gil-edo
같은 별빛을 입네
Gat-eun byeolbich-eul ibne

Starlight oh starlight
Starlight oh starlight

If you take me faraway
I'll stay by your side
When was the sunset of last summer
Shall we come closer
If you take me faraway
I'll stay by your side

Look at the star
Look at the star




You bring the love in my mind
I didn't know,but you made me change

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Herd's song "Starlight" depict the universal experience of bittersweet nostalgia and the longing for the past. The song opens with the lines "Daleunbamhaneul alae, Gat-eun byeol-eul bodeon nal" which translate to "On a different night sky, the day we looked at the same star". Through this, the lyrics convey the sense of distance that is felt when thinking of a memory from the past, as if it is out of reach.


The chorus of "Starlight" is simple, almost ethereal. The repetition of "Starlight oh starlight" suggests a kind of reverie, the singer lost in thought as they contemplate the past. They then go on to sing "If you take me faraway, I'll stay by your side", which could be interpreted as a desire to return to the memory and be closer to the moment once again.


The second verse continues with the theme of distance and the passage of time, with the lines "Seolo daleun gil-edo, Gat-eun byeolbich-eul ibne" which means "On different paths, we wear the same starlight". The final lines of the song "You bring the love in my mind, I didn't know, but you made me change" suggest that the memory has had a significant impact on the singer, perhaps leading them to reassess their life and their own place in the world.


Overall, "Starlight" is a beautiful and poignant song that captures the fleeting nature of memories and the desire to hold onto them. The dreamy, almost wistful quality of the lyrics is carried by the melodious music, which adds to the sense of bittersweet nostalgia that permeates the song.
