Brightest Star
Split Seven Ways Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were broken, bruised and dirtied with madness in your eyes
I'd had twelve long years to think about how you let me down
And I was getting old.
I never could believe that you'd sell your best friends out
And it turned out I was right to have a little doubt
But we had to put the past behind us, and you left me in the lurch
Left me alone and cold
You were my brightest star, shining through my darkest moods
And now Voldemort's ascending and I realise in the gloom
I'm gonna be with you soon
I'm gonna be with you soon
You were beyond the veil and I met a girl who cared
But she loved me far too much when I knew she should be scared
I tried to run away, tried to pretend I wasn't sad
Left a son behind to mourn
You were my brightest star, shining through my darkest moods
And now Voldemort's ascending and I realise in the gloom
I'm gonna be with you soon
I'm gonna be with you soon
I'm gonna be with you soon
The lyrics of "Brightest Star" by Split Seven Ways are about a broken relationship between two former best friends. The singer sees a photo of the other person in the paper and can barely recognize them due to their appearance of being broken, bruised, and mad. The singer seems to have held onto the hurt and resentment over the past twelve years and feels let down by the other person. They have come to realize that they were right to have doubted their former friend who apparently sold them out. However, they acknowledge that they need to put the past behind them and move on.
The chorus indicates that the other person used to be the "brightest star" shining through the singer's darkest moods. The current situation is portrayed as dark with the mention of Voldemort, an antagonist in the Harry Potter series. The singer expresses a desire to be with their former friend soon. It's unclear whether they mean in a literal sense or if it's a metaphor for closure or redemption.
The second verse mentions the singer meeting a girl who loved them too much, but they knew she should have been scared. The singer tried to run away and pretend they weren't sad, leaving a son behind to mourn. The lyrics don't provide much context, but it could be inferred that the person the singer left behind was a result of their relationship with the girl, and perhaps they felt like they weren't good enough or didn't deserve the love.
