StarBright
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a little while
Till I've gotta leave
You know there's been times
Where I couldn't lie to your face
But right now I'm looking at you
Through the window of your soul
I know those little dark holes are beautiful
I just wish that you could know
I just think that you should know
That your star is so bright
I can see your core
And you light up my life
So I can see more
I don't care if you're lost
Or you're scared
Or you never, ever
Never, ever wanna be friends
There's a small step outside your place
I've got a little wine
So I can taste all the bittersweet times
That I have felt again
But it's not too late to repair myself
From the damage done
Since I've been gone
And I know
I see the snow
It starts to fall down
I just think that I should go
'Cause your star is so bright
I can see your core
And you light up my life
So I can see more
I don't care if you're lost
Or you're scared
Or you never, ever
Never, ever wanna be friends
Please, please belong here
Please, please belong here
Please, please belong here
Belong here
You love me, you love me
'Cause your star is so bright
I can see your core
And you light up my life
So I can see more
I don't care if I get lost
And I'll see you again [x2]
The song "StarBright" by Quietdrive is a heartfelt ode to someone who holds a special place in the singer's heart. As the song begins, the singer asks to come home to their place and spends some time with the person before they have to leave. The singer acknowledges that there have been times when they couldn't lie to this person's face, but there's something different about seeing their soul through the window. Despite any flaws or perceived darkness, the singer sees the beauty in them and wishes they could know how important they are.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about using a small step outside the person's home to step away and take a moment for themselves. They've been through a lot, but it's never too late to repair the damage that's been done. Snow falls, and the singer knows it's time to go, but not before emphasizing once more how bright this person's star is. They light up the singer's life and give them the ability to see more.
Overall, "StarBright" is a tender reminder to appreciate those we love and to let them know how much they mean to us before it's too late.
