Stars and Rabbit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ask for attention in such demand about a tale
A tale that needs to tell
She was a mother of bohemian
Curly hair scented patchouli flower
Under the maple creeper
Those moments felt peculiar
She was starring at the sky
Trying to compromise
She was sadden by the broken grass
Unfriendly air made the leaves don't last
Says the wind to her wise
The words may not all be the same
But we understand the difference that day
She was starring at the sky
Most of the time with her squinted eyes
Trying to compromise
She was sadden by the broken grass
Unfriendly air made the leaves don't last
Says the wind to her wise
And I was sitting there by surprise
This thing doesn't happen all time
Trying to apprehend
Between supper, French bread and wine
I know she will remain in my mind
Perfect idiom I can't define
I know she will remain in my mind
In my mind

It started with my buzzing ears
The beginning of something significant, signaled by a persistent, attention-seeking noise
Ask for attention in such demand about a tale
Seeking to be heard, with a story that needs to be shared
A tale that needs to tell
A story that must be expressed and shared
She was a mother of bohemian
She had a free-spirited nature, embracing unconventional and artistic ways
Curly hair scented patchouli flower
Her hair had a natural curl and carried the fragrance of patchouli flowers
Under the maple creeper
In a place adorned by the beauty of maple plants
Those moments felt peculiar
Those instances carried a sense of uniqueness and strangeness
She was starring at the sky
She gazed at the sky intently
Most of the time with her squinted eyes
Her eyes narrowed as she focused her attention
Trying to compromise
Struggling to find a middle ground or resolve a conflict
She was sadden by the broken grass
The sight of damaged grass caused her sadness
Unfriendly air made the leaves don't last
The harsh atmosphere prevented the leaves from lasting
Says the wind to her wise
The wind spoke to her with wisdom
The words may not all be the same
The exact words may differ, but the essence is understood
But we understand the difference that day
On that particular day, we grasp the distinction or significance
And I was sitting there by surprise
I found myself unexpectedly present in that moment
This thing doesn't happen all time
Such occurrences are rare and infrequent
Trying to apprehend
Striving to comprehend or grasp the situation
Between supper, French bread and wine
In the midst of a meal, with French bread and wine as companions
I know she will remain in my mind
I am certain that she will leave a lasting impression in my thoughts
Perfect idiom I can't define
An ideal expression or representation that escapes my ability to describe
In my mind
Within the realm of my thoughts and memories
