Starlight
Slash Ft Myles Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
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
The lyrics of Slash Ft Myles Kennedy's song "Starlight" speak of a distant, futuristic world that has been plagued with division and turmoil, leaving its inhabitants feeling scared and alone. The singer of the song is a brokenhearted woman who is desperately waiting for hope and love to bring the world together once again. The lyrics mention her tears, sorrow, and pain but also speak of how she will not be alone in her struggles, as there is always something in each of us that remains and that always says love will prevail. The choruses of the song reassure the woman that everything will be alright, and that they will find a place where they belong together.
The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning of the "Starlight" could be a metaphor for hope, with the singer looking up at the stars and finding solace in their light. The song could also be interpreted as a call for unity and love in a world that has been torn apart by division and conflict, with the singer hoping for a better future where everyone can come together as one. In any case, the lyrics are moving and inspiring, urging the listeners to believe in love and to not lose hope even in the darkest of times.

In the distance
Light years from tomorrow
Far beyond yesterday
She is watching
Heart aching with sorrow
She is broken, as she waits
Hoping when all is said and done
We learn to love and be as one
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're 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
There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
Leave us scared and so afraid
As the fallout 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're 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
You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust
That there's one thing that won't change
I believe there is something within each of us
That always stays
That will always remain
As long as love never fades
Oh Starlight, don't you cry

Heart aching with sorrow
