Amazing
Starlight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave, but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I would die
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey, not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk, oh yeah
I was out on the street,
Just a tryin' to survive
Scratchin' to stay alive
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye, you finally see the light
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
Oh, it's amazing




And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
Desperate hearts, desperate hearts

In these lyrics from Starlight's song "Amazing," the singer reflects on a tumultuous period in their life where they had to navigate through challenging situations, both internally and externally.

The lyrics also touch on moments of despair and feeling overwhelmed, with the singer admitting to times when they felt like they were "goin' insane" and struggling to cope with emotional pain. The imagery of losing grip and hitting the floor symbolizes a sense of helplessness and reaching a breaking point.

In the final verses, the singer reflects on their growth and resilience, noting the necessity of starting from the bottom and gradually making progress. The defiance against conforming to societal expectations is highlighted in the refusal to heed "all that righteous talk." The repetition of "It's amazing" in the chorus reinforces the sense of wonder and gratitude for newfound clarity and inner strength. The singer extends empathy towards others facing similar struggles, offering a prayer for "the desperate hearts" and acknowledging the shared experiences of hardship and perseverance.
