Starface*
Jean Dawson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I live my life with my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I′m just a boy, oh, oh
I'm just a boy, oh, oh
I go outside and the sun doesn′t shine
There's thunder in my steps, make the dead come back to life
There's static in the air
There′s an oculus in the sky
I run from evil
I run from people
I run from evil
I run from people
Whеn the night goes, wherе do I go?
I live my life with my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I'm just a boy, oh, oh
I′m just a boy, oh, oh
Who do you think you are to me?
Lil' devil got a big smile, lil′ devil got a sharp tail
Lil' devil like it all bad, yeah, you like it all bad
You a creeper in the window
You the monster under my bed, yeah, yeah
I run from evil
I run from people
I run from evil
I run from people
When the night goes, where do I go?
I live my life with my eyes closed, with my eyes closed
I′m just a boy, oh, oh
I'm just a boy, oh, oh
The lyrics of "Starface" by Jean Dawson are a contemplation of identity and the struggles inherent in the process of self-discovery. The song explores themes of isolation, fear, and the search for meaning in a world that often seems confusing and overwhelming. The first stanza, "When the night goes, where do I go? I live my life with my eyes closed, with my eyes closed. I'm just a boy, oh, oh. I'm just a boy, oh, oh," speaks to the feeling of being lost and unsure of one's place in the world. The repetition of the phrase "I'm just a boy" highlights the vulnerability that comes with such uncertainty.
The second stanza, "I go outside and the sun doesn't shine. There's thunder in my steps, make the dead come back to life. There's static in the air. Which one of y'all go try to shake me off my step? There's an oculus in the sky," continues this contemplation of chaos and the unknown. The thunder in the singer's steps and the reference to the dead coming back to life evoke a sense of danger and unpredictability. Meanwhile, the idea of an "oculus in the sky" speaks to a sense of being watched or controlled by forces beyond our understanding.
The repeated refrain, "I run from evil, I run from people" suggests that the singer is afraid of both the external and internal forces that threaten to overwhelm them. This fear is amplified by the imagery of the "lil' devil" with a "sharp tail" and the "monster under my bed" referenced in the bridge. The struggle to define oneself in the face of such fear and uncertainty is a universal experience, making "Starface" a powerful exploration of the human psyche.
