Starlight
Matthew Bellamy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

[Chorus]
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to re-ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

[Chorus]

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

[Chorus]





I just wanted to hold

Overall Meaning

you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms


The song "Starlight" by Matthew Bellamy is a melancholic and introspective track that explores the idea of feeling disconnected from people who once cared for the singer's wellbeing. The song begins by expressing the singer's sense of relief at being far away from the memories and the people that remind him of the pain that he carries within him. The ship that he is on is literally and metaphorically taking him away from the situation that he is in, providing him with a temporary sense of escape. The starlight that he is chasing is symbolic of this sense of escape, the idea that he is searching for something that transcends his current reality.


As the song progresses, the singer questions the worth of his journey, wondering if chasing the starlight will ultimately be a futile pursuit. The chorus expresses his desire to hold someone in his arms, a physical connection that might provide him with the comfort and reassurance that he needs. The second verse reveals that the person he longs to hold is someone who electrifies his life, someone who helps him to feel alive. Together, they are conspired to reignite the souls of those who would otherwise die.


The song's lyrics describe the singer's search for meaning, as well as his struggle with feeling disconnected from himself and others. The idea of black holes and revelations suggests that although the journey may be difficult and dark, there is still hope for illumination and enlightenment.
