Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My choice
My bad
Not that I don't know that you're no good
All my fault Sweetly
You're the kind of guy that tempts me
Oh boy, instead I dodge,
I approach you, I do

And again,
I came to now I, am crushed In love,
Oh And again, I came to now
I am crushed In love,

In love, love love, in love
Whoaaaa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Parov Stelar's "Starlight" express a common struggle that many people face - making the wrong choice in love. The singer acknowledges that they are fully aware that the person they are with is no good for them, but they are unable to resist their temptation. Despite the singer's internal conflict and knowledge of the situation, they continue to approach this person, only to inevitably end up being crushed in love once again.

One interesting interpretation of this song is that it is a commentary on societal and cultural pressures to seek out and maintain romantic relationships. The singer may feel compelled to pursue a relationship with someone who is ultimately not good for them because of the expectation that they must be in a relationship to be happy or fulfilled. Additionally, the lyrics "All my fault Sweetly" suggest that the singer might be blaming themself for their struggles in love, even though they are not wholly to blame.
