Stargazer
Island Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fading Stars
You found love but went too far
Smile like you're feelin fine
As Gods and angels take their flight
Those golden wings shine down like fire
What mortal kings could fall from higher?
Wait in line
Amoungst the sacred, side by side
It's not the love you needed now
We'll all start gazing time to time
Those golden wings shine down like fire
What mortal kings could fall from higher?
Then fade like sun
Shine like you're waving from the sky
The sea witch savin my life
Stargazer
These lights are ours
Then fade like sun
Those golden wings shine down like fire
What mortal kings could fall from higher?
I seen the shadow of the earth and your soul
And I feel the fire at the end of the road
Stargazer




These lights are ours
These lights are ours

Overall Meaning

The song "Stargazer" by Island begins with the lyrics "Fading Stars, you found love but went too far". The first verse suggests that one has lost themselves in love and is far from where they started. However, they still smile like everything is fine, and they look up to the sky as if angels and gods are flying away. The image of "golden wings shining down like fire," suggests a sense of power and majesty that is out of reach for mere mortals. The chorus repeats the line "What mortal kings could fall from higher," as if the singer is questioning their own worthiness to reach such heights.


The second verse introduces the idea that there are others waiting in line, "amongst the sacred, side by side." The line "It's not the love you needed now," hints that the singer may have been seeking something else from their relationship. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea of fading away like the sun.


The third and final verse adds a new element to the song, introducing the idea of a "sea witch" who has saved the singer's life. The line "I've seen the shadow of the earth and your soul, and I feel the fire at the end of the road," implies a sense of urgency and impending doom. The song ends on the repeated line, "Stargazer, these lights are ours," which may suggest a newfound sense of ownership and control over one's destiny.

Fading star, 
you found love but went too far.
Smile like you’re feeling fine, 
as gods and angels take their flight. 
And those golden wings shine down like fire. 
What mortal kings could fall from higher? 

Wait in line amongst the sacred side by side. 
It’s not love you needed now, 
we’re all stargazing time to time. 
And those golden wings shine down like fire. 
What mortal kings could fall from higher... 

And fade like sun? 
Shine like you’re waving from the sky 
and see that you’re saving my life, 
Stargazer, these lights are out. 
And fade like sun. 

And those golden wings shine down like fire, 
what mortal kings could fall from higher? 
And I’ve seen the shadow of the earth in your soul, 
and I feel the fire at the end of the road. 
Stargazer, these lights are out...

You see that you're saving my life
