Starchild
The Midnight Club Lyrics

She's the queen of the mystic moonlight, baby
She holds a powerful and mysterious presence and commands attention like a queen under the moonlight

And the face of the latest fashion
She is a trendsetter and always fashionable

She's a comet on the way from heaven
She is a heavenly being with an unstoppable momentum like a comet

I feel her coming
Her presence is palpable and can be sensed approaching

She's the moon in a sky of starlight, baby
She stands out amongst all others, like the moon shining in a sky of stars

On the third day she will glisten
On the third day, she will shine brighter and her presence will be even more noticeable

And if you ever take the time listen, you'll hear her coming
If you pay attention, you can hear her approaching

From the stars, everyone's watching you now
Her arrival has caught the attention of all, as they watch for her coming from the stars

A second coming
Her arrival is akin to a second coming or a return of something significant

Starchild, with your heart wide open
Addressing the subject directly, acknowledging their open-heartedness

Start running so it can't get broken
Encouraging the subject to start running and protect their heart from being broken

Starchild, where are you going now?
Questioning the subject's destination and purpose

Starchild, every word unspoken is a lifetime drowning in a lonely moment
Suggesting that unexpressed thoughts and feelings can lead to prolonged feelings of loneliness and emptiness

She can't keep up with the, up with the
She struggles to keep up with the pace and expectations set by external forces

Sun from the, sun from the stars that haunt the night
Reference to celestial bodies and their influence on her experiences and struggles

Forgetting, forgetting the moment that she couldn't hope to leave behind
Describing her tendency to forget or ignore past traumas or regrets even though they continue to haunt her

The sun and the moon bring reminders
The celestial bodies serve as reminders of her past and present struggles

As swiftly as they bring day and night
The sun and moon act quickly and consistently, never giving her a break from her struggles

Don't let her go
Urging someone to hold onto her and not let her slip away

Never let her go
Emphasizing the importance of never letting her go or losing her

She's hoping to go where the loneliest go
She wishes to escape her struggles and go where others who share her pain go

The clouds
The clouds represent this place of escapism

When will you ever come down?
Asking when she will finally find peace and come down from her suffering

Lift me up into the clouds you rule
Asking her to lift someone else up into her place of escapism and take them with her

My darling, let go
Addressing the subject as a beloved and asking them to let go of their struggles and find peace

Pull me out into the clouds you rule
Continuing the theme of wanting to be lifted into her place of escapism and sharing in her peace

Starchild, with your heart wide open
Repeating the opening line, emphasizing the subject's open-heartedness and importance

Start running so it can't get broken
Reiterating the need to protect one's heart from being broken

Starchild where are you going now?
Repeating the question of the subject's destination and purpose

Starchild, every word unspoken is a lifetime drowning in a lonely moment
Recalling the idea that unexpressed thoughts and feelings lead to prolonged loneliness and emptiness
