Startisan formed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana as a musical melting pot. Combining members from four of the most successful original bands in the state, they have become a fine-tuned Frankenstein of sonic ingenuity.

Thick & Thin
Startisan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the night cloaks her shame
She looks for love and the
Comfort of a hallow embrace
And though it offers her gold
And breif escape from the cold
She's after something much more
Than a simply warming her bones
"A few lays, alleviate the sharp pangs of hunger
But a heartbeat's still all I have"
And she says
"I want someone to love me
Just the way I am
Just te way I am"
She says
"I want someone beside me
Wether lose or win
Throug thick and thin"
In the blaze of the limelight
To unanimous pride
She outshines every diamond in a starlet's sky
But she's shrouded in darkness like a waning moon
She knows there's much more to her than is seen
By the world
She says
"I can't find peace of mind
When nobody knows me
And a heartthroub is all I am"
And she says
"I want someone to love me
Just the way I am
Just the way I am"
She says
"I want someone beside me
Wether lose or win
Oh through thick and thin"
"When the light fades to night
Brings the cold rain and thunder
When a desert sun, is burning up
Every drop of hope there under
Be an anchor in an ocean of change"
And she says
"I want someone to love me
Just the way I am
Just the way I am"
"Say to me
Come on and say to me
Say you'll love me just the way I am
Just the way I am
Stay beside me wether lose or win
Oh through thick and thin"
The song "Thick & Thin" by Startisan is a soulful and poignant portrayal of a woman who is yearning for deep connection and love. The song begins with the woman standing under a streetlight, searching for comfort and warmth in the arms of someone who will love her just the way she is. She is tired of fleeting physical encounters that offer her nothing more than temporary distraction from the harsh reality of her life.
Although she is a success in the limelight, she is still shrouded in darkness like a waning moon. She longs for someone who will see the person she truly is and love her for it. The woman knows that true happiness cannot be found in fame or material possessions. Instead, she desires someone who will be by her side through thick and thin, whether she is winning or losing.
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the woman's longing for love and companionship. The final verse speaks of the challenges and difficulties of life, and the importance of having someone by your side to weather the storms. The woman pleads for someone to love her just the way she is, to be her "anchor in an ocean of change."
Overall, "Thick & Thin" is a beautiful and moving song that speaks to the universal desire for deep connection and love.
