Starstrings
Jody Wisternoff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was meant to be what you wanted me to be
In front of every move that you always wanted to see

It was meant to be what you wanted me to be
In front of every move that you always wanted to see

But the music's fooling me
Compromise myself

Compromise myself

It was meant to be what you wanted me to be
In front of every move that you always wanted to see

Compromise myself

Never meant to dance the way you wanted to dance

Someone's willing to try, to try to take a chance

But the music's fooling me

I wanna hold you, I just wanna touch you
I wanna feel you, my arms around you
Ever since I found you

But the music's fooling me

I wanna hold you, I just wanna touch you
I wanna feel you, my arms around you
Ever since I found you





But the music's fooling me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Starstrings by Jody Wisternoff are about a relationship that began as an attempt to be everything the person desired. The singer is saying that they tried to be all that their partner wanted, fulfilling every expectation they had of them. However, in that process, they are fooling themselves and compromising their own identity. The music is playing a trick on them, making them lose sight of who they truly are.


The lyrics express a longing to be close and intimate with the partner, holding and touching them, and being close to them, but the music is still getting in the way. It seems that the music has become a metaphor for outside influences that are affecting the relationship. Despite everything, the singer still wants to be with their partner, but the music is causing them to feel uncertain and confused.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of frustration and confusion caused by trying to be everything for someone else while losing yourself in the process. The music is used as a metaphor for the external forces that make this task difficult.


Line by Line Meaning

It was meant to be what you wanted me to be
I tried to be exactly who you wanted me to be


In front of every move that you always wanted to see
I would do everything you desired and always be on display


But the music's fooling me
The rhythm and atmosphere are deceiving me


Compromise myself
I'm sacrificing my own desires and needs


Never meant to dance the way you wanted to dance
I didn't intend to move in the way you expected


Someone's willing to try, to try to take a chance
I'm willing to attempt something unsure and risky


I wanna hold you, I just wanna touch you
I desire to embrace and physically connect with you


I wanna feel you, my arms around you
I want to experience the sensation of your body in my embrace


Ever since I found you
Since discovering you, my feelings have been intense and unwavering


But the music's fooling me
The melody and ambiance are causing me to be mistaken
