Jain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the captain of my own life
Hide in front of my eyes, I'm gonna make you mad
Billi-billi-billionaires of ideas, I got tons of them
Fear is on the rise and rules are by my side
Music goes world, worldwide
I'm gonna make my style
I'm gonna make my style
You wanna be a star
But you don't know who you are
You wanna be a star
But you can't stand the light
You wanna be a star
But you don't know who you are
You wanna be a star
But you can't stand the light
Get it, get it up, get it on your life
Stand up or they'll take your rights
I don't need no MBA to know music's my DNA
'Cause every time I feel okay is when you look the other way
Stop a minute, mutation is coming on
Let's get some fierce on, put a big beat on
On my way to redemption, my only way's creation
On my way to salvation, my own revolution
My own revolution
You wanna be a star
But you don't know who you are
You wanna be a star
But you can't stand the light
You wanna be a star
But you don't know who you are
You wanna be a star
But you can't stand the light
Ego goes right into the flow
I made my way to feel brave not to feel safe
'Cause my mojo stays right into the flow
I made my place out of stress out of the rest
Break, I wanna break the moon
I feel misunderstood, I don't want any rules, oh
Break, I wanna break the moon
I feel misunderstood, I don't want any rules
You wanna be a star
But you don't know who you are
You wanna be a star
But you can't stand the light
You wanna be a star
But you don't know who you are
You wanna be a star
But you can't stand the light
"Star" by Jain is a song about being true to oneself and breaking free from the expectations of others. The opening lines "Get it, get it up, get it on the ride, I'm the captain of my own life" suggest a sense of empowerment and control over one's own destiny. Jain then talks about having numerous ideas and being unafraid to take risks, stating "Fear is on the rise and rules are by my side." The song also touches on the struggle of wanting to be famous ("You wanna be a star") but not necessarily knowing who you truly are or being able to handle the spotlight ("But you can't stand the light").
Jain rejects the idea of conforming to societal norms and expectations, preferring to carve out her own path and make her own style. The lyrics "Stop a minute, mutation is coming on, Let's get some fierce on, put a big beat on" suggest a desire for change and a willingness to challenge the status quo. She also mentions that her own redemption and salvation come through her creativity and personal revolution.
The chorus continues to challenge the desire for fame, suggesting that one must first discover and be comfortable with their true self before trying to become a star. The repetition of the line "But you can't stand the light" emphasizes the idea that not everyone is cut out for the fame that comes with being a star.
Overall, "Star" by Jain is a call to embrace individuality and reject conformity, urging listeners to stay true to themselves and make their own mark on the world.

She is not UNDERRATED. HER SONGS are for conscious people and they not many on that planet.

@@HramKolev1 humm... I was just about to disagree with OP and say she seems rated exactly right, but I think you captured my idea very bluntly.
