Even before the official release date of her debut ukulele album in 2006 -- Victoria Vox and Her Jumping Flea released on her own label, OBUS Music -- Vox was offered an endorsement deal with KoAloha Ukuleles (Honolulu, HI). The disc was featured on NPR’s “To The Best of Our Knowledge” and its songs were picked up for licensing in television and independent films. Vox has been awarded runner-up for “My Darlin’ Beau” (Jumping Flea) and First Place for “C’est Noyé” (Chameleon) in the International Acoustic Music Awards. She has been included in Relix Magazine’s list of artists to watch and won a WAMA (Washington D.C. Area Music Award) in 2009 for Folk-Contemporary Vocalist. Also -- hardly the big break she’s been waiting for -- Vox appeared on the Jay Leno Show in December 2009 to demonstrate her perfected mouth trumpet!
Known for her refreshingly modern and rhythmic ukulele technique, Vox continues to propel her original style towards the contemporary, with her 2010 release, Exact Change. It also remains clear that her voice and songs themselves are at the heart of everything she produces. Originally from Green Bay, WI, Vox now lives in Baltimore, and averages 125+ live performances each year, playing at a mixed bag of venues across the United States, Europe, and Canada. She’s an undiscovered gem… but won’t be for long.

Falling Star
Victoria Vox Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I had answers
To all of your questions
Not that it would matter
Or change what we’ve become
It’s something so simple
It’s plain to see
That we don’t need reasons
Change will come with the seasons

There was a time we used to shine
Brighter than the others
Oh baby can’t you see we’re just another
Falling Star

The constellations
They knew our story
Before it was written
Before you and me
We should’ve known better
Than swimming upstream
Just go with the current
And let go, but never forget

There was a time we used to shine
Brighter than the others
Oh baby can’t you see we’re just another
Falling Star

I’m not saying we didn’t have our fun
But you’re not the one

There was a time we used to shine
Brighter than the others

Oh baby can’t you see we’re just another
Falling Star

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Victoria Vox's song "Falling Star" convey a sense of reflection and resignation about a relationship that has lost its spark and is now fading. The singer acknowledges that they do not have all the answers to the questions that arise in the relationship and that even if they did, it wouldn't change the current state of affairs. The simplicity of the situation is plain to see: they don't need reasons for the change because it will come naturally with the passing seasons.

The song metaphorically compares their relationship to a falling star. They were once shining brightly, standing out among others, but now they are just another falling star, lost in the vastness of the sky. The constellations, representing the larger story of their relationship, knew their tale before it was even written, suggesting a sense of predestiny or foreknowledge. Perhaps they should have known better than to swim against the current and instead let go and embrace the changes, but without forgetting the past.

The lyrics imply that while they may have had their moments of fun in the relationship, the singer realizes that their partner is not the right one for them. The realization of this mismatch further reinforces the idea that they are just another falling star, destined to fade away.
