Starlight
Mario Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Show me the stars
and I'll show you that it's not hard
to be a moon lovers
over all those years
making a heart
swoon

And so it remains

that starlight and moonlight
are not something new
but I know we've learned something.
let's together now for moonlight

for the moonlight and starlight
calm us down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mario's song "Starlight" speak of a beautiful night sky, filled with stars and moonlight, and the power that it has to bring people closer together. The opening lines urge us to look up at the stars, and it seems as though the singer is talking to a lover or a friend, promising that they can share in this awe-inspiring experience together. The next line refers to "moon lovers," which could mean a lot of things, but perhaps it speaks to those who are enchanted by the moon's beauty and mystery; those who find inspiration under its glowing light. The chorus then brings in the idea that this kind of connection is not a new one - people have been marveling at the stars and the moon for centuries - but that there is always something new to learn, something to be gained from basking in their glow. Finally, the song ends with a call to "calm down" and enjoy the beauty of the night, together.

The lyrics of "Starlight" are thematically similar to many other songs and pieces of art that celebrate the natural world, particularly the sky and celestial bodies. Poets like Emily Dickinson or Walt Whitman praised the beauty of the stars and the moon, and many artists have been inspired by the night sky, including Van Gogh and Monet. Interestingly enough, Mario's song title and chorus also bear some similarities with a popular Christmas song, "Silent Night," which is sometimes also called "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" in German - this could be a coincidence, or it could harken to a long tradition of songs that celebrate the peace and beauty of the night.
