Starchild
Marie Teena Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My telescope sent me to another planet
Since I was a child I yearned
To wear the rings around Saturn
My fingers burned
But when you hold me baby
That's the only time
I'm content, element, so sublime
[Chorus:]
Don't it make you wonder that your universal lover
Could be wearing the same smile
Oh you are my Starchild
Baby beam me, baby beam me up up
Drink the milky, from the Milky Way cup
Hold me tighter, touch me, then do
All of the sweet things
That star lovers do
Visions of another time
A strong pyramid, where secrets of life hid
Ancient hieroglyphics told
Of one man touching like Midas
He turned my love to gold
And when you hold me baby and I wear your magic ring
I feel you like no one in this world I've seen
[Chorus]
Take me to your heaven
I'll lay your odds to seven
And the stars up in the sky
I can see them in your eyes
Oh you are my Starchild
Starchild
Starchild
The song "Starchild" by Marie Teena talks about the yearning for adventures in outer space, the fascination with the mystery and secrets of the universe, and the desire for a love that transcends the boundaries of this world. The opening lines of the song describe the singer gazing through a telescope into outer space and feeling transported to another planet. She has yearned since childhood to wear the rings around Saturn, but she finds that her ultimate contentment and joy come from being with her lover, who makes her feel "element, so sublime." The chorus uses cosmic imagery - "universal lover" and "Milky Way cup" - to suggest that their love is not just earthly but cosmic. The singer calls her lover "Starchild" and expresses her desire to be beamed up by him to his world, where they can share the joys of star lovers. The second verse deepens the mystical themes of the song, as the singer describes visions of a pyramid where the secrets of life are hidden, and where one man turns her love to gold like Midas. She wears his magic ring and feels a unique connection with him - "I feel you like no one in this world I've seen."
