Star
Michelle & Noel Keserwany Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When will I find my feet
So frozen and fearful of who I can be
When everyones’ disowned you
It looks like I’m free
Just to hear it in my heartbeat
A melodic tune singing
Baby Reach for the stars and ill be there
Wherever you are

Baby Be all that you are and ill be there
Waiting with open arms
Oh Ooh
Sometimes life ain’t all that it seems
When you push away the curtain theres too much to see
And you think you need somebody
To hold you help you breathe
But they’re halfway through the jungle
Lost and confused singin'
Baby Reach for the stars and ill be there
Wherever you are
Baby Be all that you are and ill be there
Waiting with open arms
Love Love Love
In as many forms as possible
Is all we want
I want to be transformable
Like a butterfly that beats its wings to fly for a few days
Who knew it would be worth it
In the cocoon singing
Baby Reach for the stars and ill be there
Wherever you are

Baby Be all that you are and ill be there
Waitin’ Waiting…

Overall Meaning

The song “Star” by Michelle & Noel Keserwany is all about facing fears and finding one's true self. The opening lyrics, “When will I find my feet, so frozen and fearful of who I can be” speaks to insecurities and self-doubts. The character in the song is hesitant and afraid to take the first step. The song continues to explore the idea that sometimes people need someone to believe in them and encourage them to reach for their dreams. The repetition of the chorus, “Baby Reach for the stars and I'll be there, wherever you are. Baby Be all that you are, and I'll be there, waiting with open arms” reinforces this message. The song suggests a support system is necessary to help someone grow and develop their potential.

The song also touches on the complexity of life. At times, we can be overwhelmed with the challenges and uncertainties of life. The lyrics, “Sometimes life ain’t all that it seems, when you push away the curtain there's too much to see. And you think you need somebody to hold you, help you breathe” suggest that we all need someone to lean on at times. But sometimes, the people that we expect to be there for us are also struggling themselves. The song paints the picture of two people lost in the jungle, both seeking guidance, and assurance that they are on the right path.

One of the central themes of the song is the transformational power of love. The lyrics emphasize the point that love is not one-dimensional, and is available to us in many forms. 'Star' celebrates the transformative possibilities of human relationships, and suggests that we can all undergo profound changes if we open ourselves up to the love that is available to us.
