Quiet World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The star I felt was born for me
I looked on high each night
Each day that passed I gazed in wonderment
Of all the atoms flung on high
I cannot see my star in that sky
I searched within myself to find
An answering question in my mind
No answer came I waited
Searched in vain
And then one day another soul was born for me
It came and together we were blessed
And with those extra eyes I gazed into the sky
And saw so clear the star that was for me
And mine
And thus my life began anew
Hang on hang on Lordy Lordy
Hang on hang on Lordy Lordy
Hang on hang on Lordy Lordy
Hang on hang on Lordy Lordy
Hang on hang on Lordy Lordy
Hang on hang on Lordy Lordy
The song "Star" by Quiet World is a beautifully crafted piece that captures the idea of finding meaning and purpose in life. Through the lyrics, the singer shares his quest to find the star that was born for him. He looks up at the sky, night and day, but cannot find it. He then turns inward, hoping to find an answer within himself, but to no avail. He remains burdened by this feeling until he finds someone special, someone who understands him and helps him see the star he was always meant to see. With this new perspective, the singer's life takes on a new meaning and he finally finds happiness.
This song can be interpreted in different ways, but one underlying message is that we all need someone to help us find our way in life. It's also about the power of connection and how it can transform our lives.
Overall, "Star" is a poignant song that conveys a message of hope and the importance of relationships in our lives.
