Starlight
Romin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

불은 꺼지고 잠이 드는 거리
조용한 밤 난 무슨 꿈을 꾸는지

때론 치가 떨려 그냥 웃어 넘겨
이게 끝이라도

별이 없는 곳에서도
항상 빛난다고 내게 말해주던 너

위험하겠지만 쉽진 않겠지만
다시 일으켜줄 그 빛을 따라서 oh

I see the starlight
Beautiful starlight
이 어둠 속 날 비추는 너란 사람 oh that I know

I see the starlight
Beautiful starlight
다 지나가게 보이지 않게 너만 들을 수 있게
노래해 starlight

별이 없는 곳에서도
항상 빛난다고 내게 말해주던 너

위험하겠지만 쉽진 않겠지만
다시 일으켜줄 그 빛을 따라서 oh

I see the starlight
Beautiful starlight
이 어둠 속 날 비추는 너란 사람 oh that I know

I see the starlight
Beautiful starlight
다 지나가게 보이지 않게 너만 들을 수 있게
노래해

I see the starlight
Beautiful starlight
이 어둠 속 날 비추는 너란 사람 oh that I know

I see the starlight
Beautiful starlight

다 지나가게 보이지 않게 너만 들을 수 있게
노래해 starlight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Romin's song "Starlight" describe a quiet night where the city lights have gone out and the singer is left to ponder their dreams. Despite the surrounding darkness, the singer recalls someone who used to tell them that even in places without stars, they could always shine brightly. The singer is aware that following this light will be difficult and risky, but they are willing to try to regain the sense of hope and possibility that the person represented.

The song speaks of the connections we have to others, even when they are not present, and the power of their influence in our lives. The idea of the "starlight" represents the potential for brightness and hope, even when things seem dark and uncertain. The singer is reminiscing about someone who instilled that sense of hopefulness in them and now, even though that person is not present, their words and encouragement are still with the singer. The song encourages the listener to follow their own starlight, even when it seems difficult or impossible.
