Star Sky
Two Steps from Hell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Riding the sky
Painting the night with sun
You and I, mirrors of light
Twin flames of fire
Lit in another time and place
I knew your name
Your love and grace
Past and present now embrace
Worlds collide in inner space
Unstoppable, the song we play
Burn the page for me
I cannot erase the time of sleep
I cannot be loved so set me free
I cannot deliver your love
Or caress your soul so
Turn that page for me
I cannot embrace the touch that you give
I cannot find solice in your words
I cannot deliver you your love
Or caress your soul
Age to age
I feel the call
Memory of future dreams
You and I, riding the sky
Keeping the fire bright
From another time and place
I know your name
I know your face
Your touch and grace
All of time can not erase
What our hearts remember stays
Forever on a song we play
Burn the page for me
I cannot erase the time of sleep
I cannot be loved so set me free
I cannot deliver your love
Or caress your soul so
Turn that page for me
I cannot embrace the touch that you give
I cannot find solice in your words
I cannot deliver you your love
Or caress your soul
"Star Sky" is a song about the powerful connection between two people who are like two sides of the same coin, and the eternal bond they share that transcends time and space. The song begins by describing the two lovers as "mirrors of light" and "twin flames of fire," who are "riding the sky" and "painting the night with sun." The lyrics suggest that the couple's love burns like a bright flame in the darkness, and that they are meant to be together even though they come from different times and places. Despite the differences, they share a deep connection that cannot be broken.
The second verse further emphasizes the timeless nature of the relationship, with the words "age to age, I feel the call, memory of future dreams." This line suggests that the lovers are connected across different eras and lifetimes, and that they have always been drawn to each other. The chorus repeats the idea that the two lovers cannot be together in the present but their love will live forever, and the choice of words in the lyrics is very powerful. The burning of the page symbolizes the letting go of something, and the decision to move on, without forgetting what once was.
Overall, the lyrics of "Star Sky" explore themes of love, time, and the eternal bonds that connect us all. The song's message is one of hope and optimism, highlighting the idea that true love can endure even when circumstances keep us apart.

我的世界
Yes, great minds think alike!
Skyler Grasley
Hearing the voices of the chorus in unson is really pleasant, I must admit. I think I may like the original version more, but that's just becasue my heart drives me to sing - its simply too uplifting not to make my heart rise untill I can't contain the words playing along in my head.
