Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me go let me go
I can't take this no more
Let me hope I won't fold
Molly keeps me afloat
You's a pro
Yeah you stole
I can't cope
Sold my soul
Now I add to my dose
Let me go let me go
I can't take this no more
Let me hope I won't fold
Molly keeps me afloat
You's a pro
Yeah you stole
Count me out now I'm broke
I can't cope
Sold my soul
Now I add to my dose
I can't think I can't speak
I won't answer no more
Please have mercy on my kid
When you snatchin' my soul
Why you put me ina box
That was never your goal
Over look me how you did
Ima star watch me glow
I told god to keep you safe
Kept you away
I can't force no I won't take
You not my pace
My love blind
I made mistakes
You did the same
I been here we fell apart
But I'm too blame
I do this
I sacrifice
You are my all
To get racks
I will provide
& nothing more
Got a taste of what you're like
& now I'm sure
You was never meant for me
I wish no more
Let me go let me go
I can't take this no more
Let me hope I won't fold
Molly keeps me afloat
You's a pro
Yeah you stole
Count me out now I'm broke
I can't cope
Sold my soul
Now I add to my dose
Let me go let me go
I can't take this no more
Let me hope I won't fold
Molly keeps me afloat
You's a pro
Yeah you stole
Count me out now I'm broke
I can't cope
Sold my soul
Now I add to my dose
I ask if you can see the great in me
Cus baby Ima star fr
Ima star fr
& you, keep shooting me down...
Ima a star fr
The lyrics to La-Boum's song "Shooting Star" convey a sense of frustration and desperation. The singer is pleading to be released from a situation that is causing them immense pain and stress. There is a mention of Molly, which could refer to either a person or a drug that is serving as a temporary escape or source of comfort. The singer feels taken advantage of and defeated, as if their soul has been sold and they are now reliant on something that only adds to their problems. They express feeling trapped and unable to think or speak, indicating a sense of helplessness.
The second verse addresses someone who has mistreated the singer and put them in a metaphorical box, presumably limiting their potential or suppressing their true self. The singer has separated this person from their life and seeks to distance themselves from the negativity. They acknowledge mistakes and the role they played in the deterioration of the relationship. There is a realization that the other person was never meant for them, and the singer now wishes to let go and move on.
Overall, the song portrays a struggle with personal identity, the destructive effects of a toxic relationship, and the desire for freedom and self-actualization. It explores themes of emotional pain, escapism, and the search for one's true purpose.

& now I'm sure
And now I am certain
You was never meant for me
You were never destined to be with me
I wish no more
I no longer have any desires or wishes

And you, continue to bring me down and undermine me
Ima a star fr
I am a star, for real
I ask if you can see the great in me
I inquire if you are able to recognize the greatness within me

이 노래 뭔가 SM+JYP 같음. 초반에는 레드벨벳(행복. 아이스크림케잌) 느낌이고 중후반은 트와이스(하트쉐이커) 느낌으로.. 그냥 .. 푱푱.. 이 노래 너무 좋아...

One of the best k-pop song of 2016, still underated...
@TheMusicKombat
I couldn't agree more :( I really thought this would be a top list song
@onlylaboum
Hey, a reply from the future (2022) here! Know that LABOUM is still an active group (Soyeon, Jinyea (formerly "ZN"), Haein, and Solbin) under a new music label. They released 'Kiss Kiss' MV, 'White Love' ft. Layone MV, and mini album 'Blossom' last year.
CJ ENM used to hide the Shooting Love MV on OFFICIAL LABOUM's channel by a copyright strike, but the MV is now finally fixed! Please watch the MV there on their own channel! It has only over 600K v1ews. Thank you! ^^
@Chaelime
Laboum had the most catchiest title tracks all through these years yet people just keep sleeping on them, but these time they need to wake up and realize what kind of treasures they had been missing!
@farahnajihah6227
Agree
@user-rw7kw6zo1s
FOR REAL!! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS EVER SINCE I DISCOVERED THEM IN 2015. I was so happy when they got their first win with Hwi Hwi but all they got were from the public were bashing. Huhu
