Kanye West Feat. Mr. Hudson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me be your supernova
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me the chance to get it right
They got it all
They've got all the things I thought I wanted
But I can't fall
To live this facade and smile as the warm champagne pours
Out on the lawn
We pretend we're having tonnes of fun in this world where we don't belong
Some bloke all alone
Is she thinking of me
Did she forget what we once had
And I feel like taking off
Let me be your supernova
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me the chance to get it right get it right
Oh they got it all you can see they got it all
They got the cars the boat and the beautiful house by the shore
And you know there's more
But I can't take another minute of y'all
He wants his kids and the dog
He wants his breakfast in bed
He's got his trust fund saved
Not a worry in his head
He's not you or me
I wanna break up the scene and see you running back to me
'Cause I feel like taking off
Let me be your supernova
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me a chance to get it right get it right
Yeah I feel like taking off
Let me be your supernova tonight
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me a chance to get it right get it right
You've got it wrong if you say our love is gone
You've got it wrong if you say our love is gone
You've got it wrong if you say our love is gone
You've got it wrong if you say our love is gone
You've got it wrong if you say our love is gone
Yeah I feel like taking off
Let me be your supernova
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me a chance to get it right get it right
Yeah I feel like taking off
Let me be your supernova tonight
Before you make the biggest mistake of your life
Just give me the chance to get it right get it right
In "Supernova," Kanye West and Mr. Hudson plead for a chance to resurrect a failed relationship before it's too late. The lyrics suggest that the singer let the person he loves pursue a life with someone who appears to have everything but is not a true match for them before making the biggest mistake of their life. He implores the other person to give him just one more opportunity to make things right between them.
The track's chorus is reminiscent of a plea to be given a chance, expressing regret over past behaviors and a strong desire to correct them. The verses find the singers reflecting on their own lives, wishing they could break free of societal expectations, materialism, and norms and live life on their own terms. However, they seem to acknowledge that their ambitions for living genuinely clash with the desires of their former partner.
The song's meaning is open to interpretation, but it appears to be a song about regret and making amends with someone you once had a deep connection with. It's a reflection on missed chances and taking risks, a meditation on the gravity of choices made and those not taken, and an admonition to follow one's heart rather than one's head. The lyrics' vulnerability is aided by the soaring chorus, which seems like it might project love into the sky to burst like a star.

@@khalilwahashi9463 All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”
(Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).
Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS).
That`s why there`s a calling to REPENTANCE and to BORN AGAIN:
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 3:7
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

I remember me and my friends bluetoothing this song and Kanye West's 808's album to each other during a lunch break back in 2009 or 10, those were the days. I miss being in Year 8 with my Sony Ericsson, no worries or stress at all.
