Hoopstar
Sash! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't be a hoopstar.

There's a way to the meadow,
You gotta get to the run,
Don't go overboard,
To get to the top.

Don't go overboard,
To get to the top.

Don't be a hoopstar,
Don't be a hoopstar,




Don't be a hoopstar,
Don't be a hoopstar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sash!'s song Hoopstar might seem a little confusing at first, but with closer analysis, they reveal a deeper message. The opening line "There's a way to the meadow," implies that there is a path to success or happiness that one should follow. However, the next line "You gotta get to the run," suggests that this success will only be achieved through hard work and persistence. The phrase "Don't go overboard" is repeated twice, implying that one should not become too obsessed or consumed with achieving success, but instead maintain balance and focus on the journey rather than just the destination.


The chorus "Don't be a hoopstar" reinforces this idea of avoiding excess and remaining grounded. A hoopstar, in this context, is someone who becomes too focused on achieving fame or material success at the expense of their morals or well-being. The repetition of this phrase serves as a reminder to the listener to stay true to themselves and not get lost in the pursuit of external validation.


Overall, the lyrics of Hoopstar encourage listeners to strive for success while remaining grounded and true to themselves. They caution against becoming too focused on external validation and serve as a reminder to prioritize one's own well-being and morals.

I know it's obscurely hidden on one album, but it should have got more airing - it's awesomely put together, so memorable!

@yehah

Yeah, love playing this from it's my life. 1996

@df5826

such a simple but beautiful baseline. This might have been what gave me my first liking for that more complex rhythm pattern that is sorely lacking from music today.

@gasonliner
