Starlight
Slash featuring Myles Kennedy 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, 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
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

So far away that it's like it's in the future

There's someone watching

There are shadows sleeping on the horizon
There are problems that are just waiting to happen


Leave us scared and so afraid
They make us scared and worried


As the fallout of a world divided
The negative consequences of a world that is not united

And so we take cover from the dark
We try to protect ourselves from the bad things


Hoping to find where we can start
Looking for a place to begin

Lyrics. In the distance, lightyears 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, ooh-oh
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
That leave us scared and so afraid
Of the fallout of a world divided
It brings her tears, oh, and so much pain
And so we take cover from the dark
Hoping to find where we can start
Here we go
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
Where we belong
You will see, as the mountains fall and turn to dust, yeah
There's one thing that won't change, oh
'Cause I believe there's something within each of us that always stays
That will always remain as long as Slash's still around, yeah
Oh Starlight, don't you cry
We're gonna find 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
Where we belong
She is watching, heart aching with sorrow
She is broken as she waits...
Thank you so much!

Slash - Starlight

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 steeping the horizon
That leave her scare and so afraid
As the fallout of a world divided
Brings her tears and so much pain

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 the 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

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

Luz Estelar

Na distância, anos luz do amanhã
Muito além do ontem
Ela está observando, o coração sofrendo com mágoa
Ela está arrasada enquanto espera

Esperando quando tudo estiver dito e feito
Nós aprendamos a amar e ser como um

Oh Luz estelar, não chore
Nós acertaremos tudo antes de amanhã
Oh Luz estelar, não chore
Nós vamos encontrar um lugar ao qual nós pertencemos
(Ao qual nós pertencemos)

E se quer saber
Você nunca vai brilhar sozinha

Existem sombras se acentuando no horizonte
Que a deixa assustada e com medo
Enquanto a repercussão de um mundo dividido
Traz-lhe lágrimas e muita dor

Então nos protegemos das trevas
Esperando encontrar onde possamos começar

Oh Luz estelar, não chore
Nós acertaremos tudo antes de amanhã
Oh Luz estelar, não chore
Nós vamos encontrar um lugar ao qual nós pertencemos
(Ao qual nós pertencemos)

E se quer saber, você nunca vai brilhar sozinha
Luz estelar, encontraremos o lugar ao qual nós pertencemos
(Nós pertencemos)

Você verá quando as montanhas caírem e virarem poeira
Que existe uma coisa que não vai mudar
Acredito que há algo dentro de cada um de nós
Que sempre permanece
Que sempre permanecerá enquanto o amor não desaparecer

Ela está observando, o coração sofrendo com mágoa
Ela está arrasada enquanto espera

I honestly think that this is one of the best songs ever. Why is it so unknown. I know it isn't really a genre what is popular right now, sadly, but you got to admit, this is an amazing song.

Luann Johnson

I've loved Myles Kennedy's voice from the first time I heard. Pure magic. Slash, goes without saying....rock on.....

Trent Oleksuik

Not a vocalist in rock today even comes close to what Myles Kennedy puts forth in all songs he sings...the guy is amazing...

T K Dennis

+Trent Oleksuik Just saw Slash and Myles play together last week and they nailed this song and every other one they sang too, Myles is just an epic badass

Mejislasher

+Trent Oleksuik there are still plenty, but theyre all dudes from the 80's. havent seen a contemporary of this caliber

Sunshine Tree

So agreed! Myles has more than a 5 octave range, that he uses with variety and precision!!

Aphrodyte Girl

I don't think that word octave means what you think it means.

Apple Peel

Trent Oleksuik the only one who's close to Myles is Alex Turner. His voice is incredible too
