Stargirl
The Weeknd feat. Lana Del Rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I had a vision
A vision of my nails in the kitchen
Scratchin' counter tops, I was screamin'
My back arched like a cat
My position couldn't stop, you were hittin'
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it (but I love it), Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy
And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy

I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl
I just wanna see you shine

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's "Stargirl" is a song that revolves around indulgence, pleasure and the dynamic between the two parties. The lyrics "I had a vision | A vision of my nails in the kitchen | Scratching counter tops, I was screaming | My back arched like a cat, my position couldn't stop you were hitting it" suggest a sense of lustful and perhaps even violent passion. The woman in the song is enjoying herself despite being in pain, which could be taken as a symbol of the pleasure-pain dynamic often seen in BDSM relationships. The lines "And I shouldn't cry, but I love it, Starboy" imply that the woman is willingly submitting to her partner, who is identified as the "Starboy" in the song.


The chorus, "I just want to see you shine 'cause I know you are a Stargirl" seems to suggest that the woman is capable of greatness, but is currently kept in the shadows due to circumstance. The title "Stargirl" could refer to the idea of a rising star or someone who is yet to reach their full potential. The Weeknd wants to see her shine and reach her full potential, hence his desire to see her excel in her own way.


Overall, the lyrics to "Stargirl" create a complex portrayal of a woman who is comfortable with exploring her own pleasure, but is also someone with untapped potential that The Weeknd wants to see shine.
