Shooting Star
The Duponts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wish upon a fallen star (we are yours)
I want to know if you notice me
Or do I blend in with the rest
I wonder if you're even there (yes we are)
Or if you even care (we love you)
Am I fated for this life
Whose stopping me from taking mine
You're going to make it through another year
But it's hard sometimes
It's hard sometimes I know
But hey you made it through
But hey you made it through
The lyrics of The Duponts' song "Shooting Star" convey feelings of longing for recognition and questioning one's worth and place in the world. The singer expresses a desire to be noticed and wonders if they stand out or if they simply blend in with everyone else. They question whether the person they are referring to even acknowledges their existence or cares about them. There is a sense of uncertainty and a feeling of being trapped in a predetermined life, while also contemplating taking their own life.
However, there is a shift in the tone midway through the lyrics. The singer urges themselves, and possibly the listener, to stop shedding tears and assures them that they will make it through another year. The line "But hey you made it through" emphasizes the strength and resilience of the person being addressed, highlighting their ability to overcome challenges and navigate through difficult times.
Overall, "Shooting Star" explores themes of self-worth, longing for recognition, and the struggles of life. It speaks to the universal experience of questioning one's place in the world while also providing a message of hope and perseverance.
