Stars Like I
Unaloon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the time
Because we are
There's nothing we can do
But start digging a hole
For two
But baby we're just fine
Baby, we're just fine
Baby, we're just fine
Baby, we're just fine
In Unaloon's song "Stars Like I," the lyrics convey a somber mood, emphasizing the feeling of slowly dying, which is a metaphor for being trapped in a cyclical pattern that never seems to change. The first two lines of the verse repeat the idea of slowly dying, which can be interpreted as a sense of hopelessness that can consume individuals when they feel stuck. The line, "because we are," is symbolic of this feeling, suggesting that we often become our worst enemies, suffocating ourselves with our negative mental states.
The verse progresses with the idea that no matter how much we try to resist the feeling of being stuck, there's nothing we can do but start digging a hole for two. This line represents the idea that no matter how hard we try to keep our heads above the water, the current will eventually pull us under, and all we can do is prepare for the inevitable. It's a bleak outlook, but one that highlights the importance of resilience and accepting our circumstances, no matter how difficult or bleak they may seem.
However, the chorus suggests a glimmer of hope, with the repetition of the line, "baby, we're just fine." This statement is a reminder that even though we may feel like we're dying or trapped, it's only a temporary feeling. We need to remind ourselves that we can overcome any obstacle, and that even when things feel hopeless, there is always a chance for a better tomorrow.
Overall, Unaloon's "Stars Like I" is a poignant song that delves into themes of hopelessness, resilience, and the cyclical nature of our lives. The lyrics are thoughtful and introspective, providing a glimpse into the ways in which we can get stuck in our negative headspaces, and how we can overcome them with time, effort, and a bit of hope.

Her voice already made me emotionally before but now it's impossible not to cry..

I am having the same problem... It's strange to miss and grieve someone you've never met. It's such a tragedy.

@ama nda I know exactly how you feel, I cried uncontrollably the first week. What helped me was watching her funeral service, it was very emotional but hearing her family speak of her and seeing the casket helped me process it. She was really something special it's so heartbreaking. Sending you lots of love from one weep fan to another 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

@Tay Driver I was really happy that her family did the live stream for her funeral. It really helped me too. I'm a mother in my thirties and I have never cried over an artist before in my entire life. She was truly a special young woman and full of so much love and raw talent. God bless you .
