Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Shooting Star" by The R.E.D. reflect the feelings of someone who has experienced endless disappointment and setbacks. The opening lines describe the singer as being fallen and crouched under the shining stars, symbolizing their sense of failure and desolation. Despite the passing of time, they remain stuck in this state, constantly looking up at the sky. The chorus repeats the phrase "Yozora no shooting star" which translates to "shooting star in the night sky," emphasizing the hope and longing for a brighter future.

The lyrics also touch upon the singer living in darkness, isolated and surrounded by negativity. They express the desire for the dawn to come and alleviate their slow and painful night. However, even in the face of loneliness and being disregarded by others, they assure themselves that they are okay. The lyrics convey a sense of determination to find their own path, regardless of the criticism and negativity directed towards them. They mention looking up at the sky, searching for their own place to shine and to be recognized. The song ends with a call to walk another way, for the sake of tomorrow and for the support of everyone who has cheered them on.

Overall, "Shooting Star" speaks to the struggles, perseverance, and the search for hope and validation in the face of adversity.

You came in like a shooting star
Bringing light into my dark
Showing me a better way
I thought I'd given up on love
I thought I'd given up on trust
Oh and it was sorrowing then
So I pushed you away

But you wouldn't let me drown
I was down at the bottom of the bottle so long
I couldn't get help
You came to me and showed me that everything could be ok
I needed someone to love me that dies in the same way

I really don't deserve your love
My sweet Angela
You're the one I have to thank
There's a darkness inside of me
Most of you will not see
Yeah and somehow she decided to stay
Now I'm forever changed

But you wouldn't let me drown
I was down at the bottom of the bottle so long
I couldn't get help
You came to me and showed me that everything could be ok
I needed someone to love me that dies in the same way

Oh, I'm not afraid to die
But I'm afraid of you
Waking up tomorrow saying "we are through"
Now that I'm finally clean
God sent me an angel to fix these broken wings
God sent me an angel
But I fell in love with her

You wouldn't let me drown (no)
I was down at the bottom of the bottle so long
I couldn't get help
You came to me and showed me that everything could be ok
I needed someone to love me that dies in the same way

It has been quite a journey watching you all grow, while also weird to look back and see how much I have grown as well. In the middle of quitting drinking myself, and this video was a literal God-send. Thank you for growing while still keeping the same sound/vibe, I know it is a rare thing when a band can get it right like you do.

Me encanta esta banda, sus letras son hermosas, ojala algun dia Dios me envie un angel, como lo dice la cancion; y me haga sentir que esta vida tiene sentido. Quiero experimentar lo que me hace falta, no quiero perderme en la tristeza, depresion, e insatisfaccion.
Muchas gracias Ronnie y toda la banda; sus mensajes me dan animo, su musica es increible , por favor vengan a Bogota (Colombia), haria lo que fuera para ir a un concierto de ustedes.

This song hits me hard. I too was an alcoholic and turned to Christ. It was the only remedy.

@LivinForChrist90

WOW! First time watching this new music video from Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and this song and video is very powerful and I love how it shows a man being in sin and thinks to himself that God wouldn't ever want to have me and be in my life and then God sends an angel and says to the man look I will take you no matter what as long as you come to me just as you are and that God will forgive you for your sins and make you a better man and this was very powerful the way it was shown and I love it:)
