Starman
The Living Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I leaned back on my radio
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, "Lotta soul," he said
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
There's a starman waiting in the sky
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him, too
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on Channel Two
Look out your window, I can see his light
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
Starman waiting in the sky
He'd like to come and meet us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
There's a starman waiting in the sky
He's told us not to blow it
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He told me
Let the children lose it
Let the children use it
Let all the children boogie
The Living Sisters's song "Starman" is a cover of David Bowie's iconic track. The song narrates the experience of a protagonist who tunes into a radio station and hears a "cat layin' down some rock 'n' roll." As the music continues, it fades but comes back, transformed into "hazy cosmic jive," a voice that speaks in slow waves. Suddenly, a "starman waiting in the sky" appears, wanting to meet humankind but fearful of "blowing our minds." The starman implores the singer to let the children use their creativity freely and to "lose it" while all the children "boogie."
Overall, the song appears to be an exploration of the way creativity and new experiences are viewed through the lens of social norms and expectations. The starman represents a symbol of imagination, freedom, and creativity that encourages individuals to embrace their potential regardless of societal constraints. The lyrics seem to showcase how even the simplest of human experiences like listening to music on the radio can become extraordinary when viewed from a different perspective.
Line by Line Meaning
Didn't know what time it was, the lights were low
I was disoriented and in the dark
I leaned back on my radio
I relaxed and listened to music
Some cat was layin' down some rock 'n' roll, "Lotta soul," he said
Someone was playing rock and roll with feeling
Then the loud sound did seem to fade
The music started to die down
Came back like a slow voice on a wave of phase
It returned gradually, sounding otherworldly
That weren't no DJ, that was hazy cosmic jive
That wasn't a radio host, but something mysterious and otherworldly
There's a starman waiting in the sky
There is an extraterrestrial being who wants to meet us
He'd like to come and meet us
He wants to make contact with us
But he thinks he'd blow our minds
He fears that he could overwhelm us with his presence
He's told us not to blow it
He has instructed us not to ruin this opportunity
'Cause he knows it's all worthwhile
He believes that the encounter will be meaningful and valuable
Let the children lose it
Allow the youthful spirit to take over
Let the children use it
Let them utilize their creativity
Let all the children boogie
Let everyone dance and enjoy life
I had to phone someone, so I picked on you
I needed to share this experience with someone, and chose you
Hey, that's far out, so you heard him, too
Wow, that's incredible, you heard him too!
Switch on the TV, we may pick him up on Channel Two
Turn on the television, we might see him on the news
Look out your window, I can see his light
Look outside, I see a light coming from his spaceship
If we can sparkle, he may land tonight
If we shine and impress him, he may come down to Earth
Don't tell your papa or he'll get us locked up in fright
Don't tell your father, he might be scared and overreact
