Starman
Sally Shapiro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When?
It happened so fast
those visions in my mind
although could it pass
your other different path
it seems you come down from the stars,
and somehow you are still so much human then they are
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman

Love, can happen so fast,
and some say that's it's mine
the future is past
you're from a different time,
tell me is is from there that you came?
a different sense I'll ask
but our hearts are still the same

I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman
I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman

Don't go away alone
Don't go away alone

I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman




I want to know you, mister Starman
I want to love you, mister Starman

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sally Shapiro & Electric Youth's song, Starman, are about the unexpected and intense connection between two individuals, with one of the people being described as a Starman, possibly an extraterrestrial being. The singer reflects on how quickly their visions became real and how their love evolved quickly. The lyrics express the desire to know and love the Starman, indicating a longing for a deeper connection and understanding of this mysterious person.


The first verse suggests that the Starman's arrival was sudden and unexpected, and despite being from a different path and possibly even from the stars, the Starman is still human-like. The second verse continues to explore the theme of the Starman being from a different time, yet the singer's heart remains the same. The chorus repeats the desire to know and love the Starman while the final line, "Don't go away alone," implies a desperation to keep this connection alive.


The lyrics of Starman convey the idea that love can transcend the boundaries of time and space, and even between different beings. The Starman represents the possibility of something new and exciting, expanding beyond what is considered normal or expected.
