Star
Maywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder where we'll be a hundred years hereafter.
I heard stories so hard to believe.
They planned to organize a world with only peace.
I wish I could take look into the future,
With all it's wonders and magical signs.
Will we be living on the moon in future times?
Chorus
Tell me all about the way it's gonna be.
No one has to know the things you're telling to me, oh
No.
Star,
Will there come a moment in my later life?
Where around the afternoon at half past five.
We lead a planet life.
Verse
I think it's fascinating how we live and handle.
Things have changed in a better way.
But is the future as different as they say?
Maywood's song "Star" is a reflection on the future through the eyes of the singer. The first verse begins with the singer contemplating what the world will be like one hundred years in the future. They had heard stories that it was possible to have a world without any conflict and where peace reigns, but this idea was hard to believe. The singer then expresses a wish to be able to see what the future holds, with all its incredible wonders and magical signs. They question whether humans will thrive on the moon in future times.
The chorus brings in the concept of talking to a star about the future. The singer is curious about what the future holds in store and wishes to know more. The star is considered to be someone to confide in, a being who will not judge and can provide comfort. The singer wonders if there will come a time in their later life where they lead a "planet life," suggesting the possibility of traveling to other worlds in the future.
The second verse reflects on how society has progressed and improved over the years. There have been many improvements, but the singer wonders if future changes will be as drastic as predicted. It is a common fear of people who are living through times of change, as the future often seems uncertain.
The song is an optimistic reflection about the future, a time when humans could be living on the moon and experiencing new and magical things. The star represents hope, curiosity, and the possibility of a better tomorrow.
