Steal Me
Jupiter Sunrise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fireflies blinking past Orion
All sprawled out beside the bikes, the wheels still spinnin'.
I know a shortcut along the stonewall where
Evergreen soldiers point their branches for a child-like mind, like yours and mine to follow.
c'mon, steal me
I drew a map so we can get home or maybe come back here in the summer
But I'm not sure how to draw a path to get to moonlight.
So, tonight, these stars can shine as our halos and the pine trees watch over like guardian angels,
Protecting a perfect love between twilight and all a lifetime of yearning.
I won't be awake for much longer
So c'mon, steal me.
The Jupiter Sunrise's song Steal Me is a nostalgic and romantic song that takes the listener on a journey through a moment of pure and innocent love. The opening lines set the scene of a quiet night in nature, where the singer is lying in the grass beside his love, watching fireflies blinking past Orion. The imagery is dreamy and playful, suggesting a carefree and simple time.
The next lines reveal a desire to prolong and preserve this moment, as the singer knows a shortcut along the stonewall, where the evergreen soldiers point their branches to guide the way. This line is particularly poetic, as it uses personification to give the trees a sense of duty and purpose, almost like guardians of the path. The mention of a child-like mind adds to the sense of innocence and wonder, suggesting that the singer and his love are young and free-spirited.
The chorus is a plea for his love to steal him away, to take him to a place where they can be alone and happy. This line is repeated, almost like a prayer or a mantra, underscoring the importance of this moment for the singer. The next lines suggest that the singer has drawn a map to get home or back to this spot in the summer, but that he is not sure how to draw a path to get to moonlight. This line is again poetic, suggesting that the singer is looking for a way to preserve the magic of this moment, even though it cannot last forever.
The final lines suggest that the singer knows that this moment is fleeting and that he won't be awake for much longer. The line "So c'mon, steal me" becomes more urgent, almost desperate, as if the singer is afraid to let go of this moment. The final line suggests that this moment is the culmination of a lifetime of yearning, suggesting that the singer has been looking for this kind of love for a long time and that he does not want to let it go.
