Stargazer
Juanita Stein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out in the desert where you roam
The night sky will guide you home
You watch a wheel, catch a fly
It's your assurance that life goes by

You lost that spirit long ago now
Left it to the city where you once belonged
You used to dream in color reels
Now your visions are of carbon steel
Look to the heavens for a sign
Nobody's looking to his cautious smile

You lost that spirit long ago now
Scattered like the stardust you once had in you
And I was always clear

Stargazer gaze into the night again
Your light was always destined to ascend
Daydreamer don't be dreaming of the day
Hey stargazer won't you find your way

You watch us silent through the glass
This pain you have was never meant to last
Is it just some kind of act
Or has your misery become attached

You lost that vision long ago now
Scattered like the stardust you once had in you
And I was always clear

Stargazer gaze into the night again
Your light was always destined to ascend
Daydreamer don't be dreaming of the day
Hey stargazer won't you find your way

Overall Meaning

The song โ€œStargazerโ€ by Juanita Stein tells the story of a person who has lost their way and has become disconnected from their true self, symbolized by the loss of their โ€œspiritโ€ and โ€œvision.โ€ The song opens with a description of this person wandering in the desert, seeking guidance from the night sky. They find comfort in the cyclical nature of life and the reassurance that everything, including themselves, will eventually pass.


The lyrics suggest that the personโ€™s loss of spirit and vision occurred when they moved away from their natural environment and into the city. In the city, their dreams became less colorful and more focused on materialism, represented by โ€œvisions of carbon steel.โ€ The chorus encourages the person to look to the stars and dream again, reminding them that their light is โ€œdestined to ascend.โ€


Throughout the song, there is a sense of sadness and detachment from the person, as if they are watching from afar, separated from their own life. The song ends with a plea for the person to find their way back to themselves and reignite their spirit and vision. The use of the โ€œStargazerโ€ and โ€œDaydreamerโ€ in the chorus suggests that these are aspects of the person that they have lost and need to reclaim.


Line by Line Meaning

Out in the desert where you roam
In a place of isolation and emptiness, where you wander aimlessly


The night sky will guide you home
The stars will provide direction and comfort for you


You watch a wheel, catch a fly
You observe the small and mundane things in life as a reminder of the passing of time


It's your assurance that life goes by
These small moments and simple pleasures are proof that life is continually moving forward


You lost that spirit long ago now
You've misplaced the passion that once drove you


Left it to the city where you once belonged
The place that you used to call home has taken your zeal and left you feeling empty


You used to dream in color reels
You once had vivid and lively dreams


Now your visions are of carbon steel
Your aspirations have become dull and lifeless


Look to the heavens for a sign
Search for guidance and direction from a higher power


Nobody's looking to his cautious smile
No one is paying attention to the quiet and hesitant demeanor that you portray


Scattered like the stardust you once had in you
The essence of who you were has been fragmented and lost


And I was always clear
I knew who you were and what you were capable of


Stargazer gaze into the night again
Focus on the stars and their beauty once more


Your light was always destined to ascend
Your potential was always meant to rise


Daydreamer don't be dreaming of the day
Don't waste your time daydreaming about the future, live in the present


Hey stargazer won't you find your way
Find your path and follow your destiny


You watch us silent through the glass
You observe others from afar without being noticed


This pain you have was never meant to last
The suffering you're experiencing isn't permanent


Is it just some kind of act
Is your pain and misery a facade that you put on for others


Or has your misery become attached
Has your pain and suffering become a part of who you are


You lost that vision long ago now
Your sense of purpose and direction has been gone for a while


Stargazer gaze into the night again
Take time to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the stars


Your light was always destined to ascend
Your potential and brilliance was meant to shine bright


Daydreamer don't be dreaming of the day
Live in the present, don't dwell on the future


Hey stargazer won't you find your way
Find your path and follow it to your destiny


Stargazer
Someone who gazes at the stars for wonder and beauty


Daydreamer
Someone who dreams of the future instead of living in the present
