Three Stars No Match
Naomi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swallow some faces,
Drink some embraces
Sorry this place is not an oasis
Sometimes she plays his song
To erase the sky

He certainly knows
His electric neurosis
Is something he chose
As a means to get closest
To red seas of roses
Red seas to magnify

It's in the stars
It's in the stars
It's in the stars

She knows that he loses
More time than excuses
Her way to seduce is of almost no use
As his wife introduces herself
As his new standby

She sighs and releases her juvenile Jesus
He's down on his knees
As her absence increases
Sometimes she sees his show
Just to freeze the time

It's in the stars




It's in the stars
It's in the stars

Overall Meaning

The first stanza suggests a state of disillusionment, where the singer mentions swallowing faces and drinking embraces, but acknowledges that their current location is not an oasis. The line "sometimes she plays his song to erase the sky" suggests that the singer is trying to use music as a form of escapism from their surroundings.


The rest of the lyrics describe the relationship between two people - he is described as someone who has chosen to cultivate an "electric neurosis" and seeks to get close to the singer through "red seas of roses", which could be interpreted as symbols of passion or danger. The line "she knows that he loses more time than excuses" suggests that the singer is aware of the man's flaws, but still holds out hope that their connection will endure.


The chorus "it's in the stars" implies that the relationship's fate is predetermined, and that no matter what happens, their connection will be written in the stars. Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of the impermanence of relationships, while still holding out hope for a deeper connection.

@GuillaumeDenry

The Pappelallee album of Naomi is an unfairly misunderstood down tempo album. One of the best trip-hop artwork I know.

@AK-74K
