Starlight
Slash and Myles Kennedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
We're gonna make it right before tomorrow
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna find a place 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, as she waits
The song Starlight by Slash and Myles Kennedy starts with a description of a woman who is heartbroken and waiting for something. The lyrics talk about how she is watching from afar and seems to be in pain. The song then shifts to a more hopeful tone, with the singer expressing the belief that we can all come together and learn to love and be as one. The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh Starlight, don't you cry" as a message of comfort and reassurance that we will find a place where we belong.
The lyrics of this song seem to touch on themes of division and unity, hope and despair. The woman in the song who is watching and waiting can be interpreted as a metaphor for the way we can feel disconnected from others and from the world around us. The song seems to encourage us to keep hoping and searching for a place where we belong, a place where we can find love and connection.
Overall, this song has a powerful message of hope and perseverance in the face of difficulty. It encourages us to keep searching for the light even when things feel dark and uncertain.
Line by Line Meaning
In the distance
Far away from the present time
Light years from tomorrow
So far in the future that it is difficult to imagine
Far beyond yesterday
Before the known past
She is watching
Someone is observing
Heart aching with sorrow
Feeling intense emotional pain and sadness
She is broken, as she waits
Feeling shattered and hopeless while anticipating something
Hoping when all is said and done
Having faith that in the end, everything will work out
We learn to love and be as one
We will understand the importance of unity and love
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
Addressing the starlight, telling it not to weep
We're gonna make it right before tomorrow
We will rectify any issues before the new day comes
We're gonna find a place where we belong
We will discover a location or situation that suits us
(Where we belong)
And so you know, you'll never shine alone
Assuring the starlight that it will never be alone
There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
There are potential dangers lingering in the future
Leave us scared and so afraid
Leaving us feeling frightened and anxious
As the fallout of a world divided
As the consequences of a world that is separated and fragmented
It brings her tears and so much pain
Causing great emotional distress and discomfort
And so we take cover from the dark
Seeking refuge from negative influences
Hoping to find where we can start
Expecting to locate a point of beginning
Starlight, we'll find a place
Addressing the starlight while illustrating our journey
You will see as the mountains fall and turn to dust
One can witness the shifting of the earth's landscape
That there's one thing that won't change
Certain things will remain static
I believe there is something within each of us
I think that everyone carries something essential at their core
That always stays
Something permanent that never fades or vanishes
As long as love never fades
As long as the love sustains
Starlight we'll find a place
Addressing the starlight again while reinforcing our goal
Where we belong, we belong
The place where we end up is where we're supposed to be
She is watching
Someone is observing
Heart aching with sorrow
Feeling intense emotional pain and sadness
She is broken, as she waits
Feeling shattered and hopeless while anticipating something

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

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
