Shooting Star
The Paellas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

settle down
灯すから
おぼつかなくていい
come on baby
what do you wanna see?
We can still choose
the shore we arrive
言葉を
濁しても
最後はひとつだけ
settle down
what can you see now?
you know all will vanish
like a bubble
どんな続きの先に
どこまでを信じてる?
yet we don't wanna be
a shooting star
na na...
何も
言えなくて
膝かかえてるだけ
静かな
思いでは
救えないと気づいてる
come on baby
come on baby
it's ok even if it's
already there
settle down
灯すから
おぼつかなくてもいい
どんな続きの先に
どこまでいけるとおもう?
if it's a white lie
please as it is
いずれ星になる くらいなら
as you might already know
we would face the end one day
I don't wanna be a shooting star
na na na...

i don't wanna close my eyes
cause i don't wanna
update the time
i just want to be by your side
i don't wanna close my eyes
cause i don't wanna
update the time
i will keep seeing
your sleeping face
settle down
灯すから
おぼつかなくていい
come on baby
show me the way
It's ok even if it's
already there
どんな続きの先に
どこまでを信じてる?
if it's a white lie
please as it is
いずれ星になるくらいなら
i believe you till the end
everytime
i'm on your side
yet we don't wanna be




a shooting star
na na na na...

Overall Meaning

The Paellas's song Shooting Star explores the themes of settling down, the impermanence of life, and the desire to hold onto something or someone forever. The song opens with the phrase "settle down," indicating a request to calm down or come to terms with something. The following line, "灯すから" or "because I'm lighting up," suggests that there is something illuminating that can provide comfort or guidance. The singer then addresses a lover or friend, asking them what they want to see and emphasizing the ability to choose their path. However, the lyrics question how much we can trust in the future and our choices, as they all will eventually disappear "like a bubble."


The chorus features the repetition of "I don't wanna be a shooting star," which can be interpreted to mean that the singer doesn't want to be a temporary, fleeting thing like a falling star. In the second verse, the lyrics express the desire to keep someone close by not wanting to "update the time" and "keep seeing your sleeping face." This creates a sense of longing and nostalgia for something that is already slipping away. The song ends with the singer admitting that they know everything will end one day, but they still want to hold onto what they have.


Overall, the song conveys a bittersweet message of appreciating what we have while understanding that it won't last forever. The lyrics capture the human desire to hold onto something or someone, even if we know that it's impossible.

HONDAに見つかることなく解散なんて😭😭 ブレイクするきっかけがなさすぎた。これからだったのに、、、もうこんなバンドは日本のどこにもない。ただただ悲しい。残念すぎます。。。
初めてこの曲を聴いて衝撃を受けて、すぐファンになりました。
PAELLASは私の私生活を楽しいものに変えてくれたバンドです。
これからも永遠に大好きです。

paellasを1番好きになった曲。
バンドが解散してしまっても曲は聴く人たちによって進化していって欲しい

この曲で初めてpaellasを知り、それからずっと追いかけてきたけれど、まさかこんな日がこんなに早く来るとは思いませんでした。
悲しいけれど、曲はずっと残っていく…って
わかっているけど、やはり残念でならない。
