Starmaker
The Kids From Lyrics

Here as I watch the ships go by
As I observe the ships sailing past my shore

I'm rooted to my shore
I am fixed in place, unable to venture out

I keep asking myself why
I continuously wonder about the purpose of my stationary existence

And if there's more on the other side
I ponder the existence of something beyond my immediate surroundings

Here as I see the friends I thought I made
As I observe the companions I believed I once had

A little bit crazy to know by now
I realize, perhaps belatedly, that they are all a bit insane

We've outgrown one another
We have progressed beyond what we can offer each other

Star maker
The force behind fame and stardom

Dream breaker
The force that destroys the illusions of grandeur

Soul taker
The force responsible for stealing one's true self and spirit

We're happy now
Despite these challenges, we are happy in our current circumstances

Now when I see the things I want
When I catch a glimpse of what I desire

I can take the things I see
I am able to acquire those desires

But I keep asking myself why
I still can't help but question the purpose behind my pursuits

And if there ain't just a little bit more for me
I consider whether there is something lacking in my current achievements

Here when it's time to count the cost
When it's time to tally up the expenses

I keep measuring what I've lost
I evaluate what I have sacrificed in the process

And wondering if you knew
I wonder if you, whoever you are, knew the consequences of my choices

It would all end up with you
You are the one who receives the consequences of my actions

Here as I watch the time go by
As I observe time passing

How I'd like to sail away
I yearn to escape my current situation

Leaving all my past behind
To abandon the baggage of my former self

But I know I'd only last for a couple of days
I understand that this freedom would be fleeting

Here stands everything I thought I made
All that I believed I had created and achieved

It's the only life I know
This is the only existence that I am familiar with

And I can't even call it my own
But I don't even have control over it

I've got no hope, I belong to you
I feel hopeless and powerless, entirely at your mercy

My star maker
The force responsible for shaping my destiny

Dream breaker
The force that shatters my aspirations

Soul taker
The force that robs me of my essence

We're happy now
Despite these forces, we persist in our happiness
