Starlight -
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

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

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

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

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

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

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

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And 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

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold




You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Muse's "Starlight" talk about a person who is desperate to escape from their current life and painful memories. The ship they are on is a symbol of hope and freedom, but they are not sure whether it's worth it to pursue it anymore. The starlight represents a guiding light that they are chasing, hoping it will lead them to a better place. The person is yearning to hold someone they love in their arms, possibly seeking comfort and a sense of belonging. They feel electrified and alive when they are with this person, and they want to ignite and inspire others to feel alive. The lyrics end with a repetition of the promise to never let this person go, as long as they do not fade away, and a reminder of the hopes, expectations, black holes, and revelations that they are facing.
