Rockabye Baby! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And promise to be your one and only
I'll make you feel happy
And leave you to be lost in mine
And where will we go
And what will we do?
Soon said, "I, will know
Dead eyes, dead eyes
And are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as
Vacant as the seas, yeah
Dead eyes, dead eyes
And are you just like me?
And all along
We knew we'd carry on
Just to belong
By starlight I know you
As lovely as a wish granted true
My life has been empty
My life has been untrue
And does she really know, who I really am?
And does she really know me at last
And are you just like me?
Dead eyes, dead eyes
And are you just like me?
Her eyes, her eyes were as
Vacant as the seas, yeah
Dead eyes, dead eyes
Are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
And are you just like me?
The lyrics to "By Starlight" by Rockabye Baby! depicts a romantic exchange between two people under the starry sky. The singer promises to be the "one and only" for their loved one and make them happy. These lyrics reflect the intense connection that the singer shares with the person they are singing to.
The second verse speaks about the uncertainty of the future and the present moment. The singer questions where they will go and what they will do. This showcases the transitory nature of life and how we are always searching for meaning and direction. The phrase "dead eyes" is repeated throughout the song, possibly referring to the emptiness one may feel when searching for their purpose.
The chorus reinforces the idea that the two individuals are very similar, illustrated through their vacant eyes. They are in search of someone who understands them and shares their experiences. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer has found this connection, as they know their love interest just as well as they know themselves.
Overall, "By Starlight" is a romantic and introspective song that reflects on the search for purpose and connection in life.
