Starlight
Slash Feat. Andrew Stockdale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the distance light years from tomorrow
Far beyond yesterday
She is watching, heart aching with sorrow
She is broken is broken, as she waits
Hoping when all is said and done we can learn to love and be as one

Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know, we'll never shine alone

There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
Leave us scared and so afraid
As the fall out of a world divided
It brings her tears and so much pain
And so we take cover from the dark
Hoping to find where we can start

Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Starlight we'll find a place where we belong

You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust
There's one thing that can't change
I believe there's something within each over us that always says
That will always remain as long as love never pains

Oh Starlight, don't you cry we gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry we're gonna find a place where we belong (where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Starlight we'll find a place where we belong (we belong)





She is watching, heart aching with sorrow
She is broken is broken, as she waits

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slash Feat. M. Shadows's song Starlight convey a message of hope and determination in the face of darkness and division. The singer is addressing a personified "Starlight," who is described as watching from a distance with a heart full of sorrow. This could be interpreted as the personification of humanity, watching from afar as the world falls into chaos and division. The song asserts that despite the challenges we face, we can learn to love and be as one, and that we will find a place where we belong.


The lyrics also acknowledge the shadows (perhaps referring to the dark forces of division and hate) that are sleeping on the horizon, leaving us scared and afraid. The singer urges us to take cover from the darkness, hoping to find a place where we can start anew. The chorus is a rallying cry for hope and unity, promising that we will make things right, find a place where we belong, and never shine alone. The song ends with a reminder that while the world may change and fall apart, love always remains within us.


Overall, the lyrics of Starlight could be seen as a call to action, urging listeners to come together and work towards a more unified and loving world.

With the horses that you ride
And the feelings left inside
Comes a time you need to leave all that behind
Well they claim they'd like to know
Anyone could let to go
And the people gather 'round for the last show

Well there is a reward
To live and die by the sword
Well they tried to complicate you
But you left it all behind
All worldly possessions
Are left for recollection
And finally it's all gone!

They're releasing all the hounds
What is lost can still be found
When you have both of your feet here on the ground
Well there’s some who choose to run
Following the setting sun
And now it seems the journey has begun

Well there is a reward
To live and die by the sword
Well they tried to complicate you
But you left it all behind
All the worldly possessions
Are left for recollection
And finally it's all gone!

With the horses that you ride
And the feelings left inside
come's a time you need to leave it all behind

Well there is no reward
To live and die by the sword
Well they tried to complicate you
But you left it all behind
All the worldly possessions
Are left for recollection
And finally it's all gone!
