Starfall
Spirit Breaker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let go of the past
It's all in the wind
It's time to make some adjustments

It's not who you were
But it's who you'll be
Only your effort matters
Pass by those
Who threw you to wolves
They will be devoured

By the jaws of abandonment

Waiting on your life just to pass you by
For the last time
This is the world we live in
Forever burdened with mistakes we've made

It's been so long
Since I've laid in the sun
Banish all the things I've held for far too long

You wanted more
You gave up less
Clouding yourself in failure

Get knocked down
To get back up
I guess it's just in our nature

We get so lost trying to be someone we're not meant to be
To find out we were born to be an anomaly

Scrape the salt from my bitter bones
The echoes of my imperfections
Are deafening

It's been so long
Since I've laid in the sun
Banish all the things I've held for far too long

This agony in pursuit of my courage
Searching for flaws in my stronghold

Tell me have we suffered enough
Or are we just getting started
Are you living a life running to dead ends?
Are you too broken to be honest?





The brightest of scars can't bring light to your life
Illuminate yourself

Overall Meaning

"Starfall" is a song that speaks about letting go of the past and moving towards a better future. The lyrics maintain that dragging unnecessary emotional baggage around does us no good and it is time to let go of it. Acknowledging that our past does not dictate who we are in the present, it is essential to make adjustments and work hard for a better future. One must not cling to those who have thrown them to the wolves because they will not help. Instead, they will be devoured by the jaws of abandonment. The piece also talks about how we often lose ourselves in trying to be someone we were not meant to be. This realization can drive us towards our unique paths and help us to become an anomaly.


The song encourages us to banish the bitterness we have held onto for far too long and embrace positivity. The lyrics suggest that we have suffered enough, and it is time to seek and fight for those things worth pursuing. The song also highlights that honesty is the key to mending one's broken self. It encourages us to shine a light on ourselves and illuminate our lives. The lines "the brightest of scars can't bring light to your life, illuminate yourself" give hope to those who may have been hurt and come to the realization that scars are part of life, but they should not define us.

It's like Architects had a baby with Erra and the kid decided he didn't want any clean vocals in his band! This is amazing and so underrated.

@noahgabriel7965

Those highs could use some control but honestly this song goes hard and they're clearly trying to say something with the lyrics. I'm looking forward to hearing more from them
