Starchild
Wintersun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So mysterious is your world,
Concealed beyond the stars
Far away from the earth,
It flows one with time and dark as the night
Million shapes and colors
Are storming inside your mind
Creating endless dimensions
Forming universes without walls

Let go of the stars, the stars that fell into the sea
Let go of your thoughts and dreams,
What can you see now

(You cannot save them anymore)
Wanderer of time
It's too late now
Creator of Dimensions
Destroy the walls of time
Hands of the blind are holding your fate
Tides of life will take you away, will take you away

Starchild!
Visions are born from the unknown force
It dominates the way of time
The dream only ends, when the worlds come to an end,
When the world comes to an end
Starchild!
You cannot escape to the dark streams of the sea,
To suppress your dreams
Nothing can keep you away from the need to create
'Cause your path is free

I've hold the fire within myself
Years I've walked in the coldest winds
Through the deserts of sand and snow
The time is passing and I know
That I'm wasting my life, destroying my dreams
I'm diving into the bottomless sea
From sorrow and pain I find my strength
The more pain I feel, the more I see
Now I'm watching my life flowing in the dark
Like streams of fear running through my heart
And it's wearing me down until I'm gone
Soon I'll join the endless whirls of stars
And I fall deeper into the unknown voids (Something is dying, yet something is born)
And I fall into infinity like a burning star (When will I find my silent dawn)

I fall like a burning star!
I fall like a burning star!
I fall like a burning star!

The curtains of mist are fading
And the veils of star clouds are revealed
Storms of new energy
Flows in the depths of my mind
New constellations are born
In total harmony of perfection
And the dissonant unbalance was broken
As the colors fell straight from the light

I'm floating in the sea of stars,
I'm drifting away from the shore
I will be lost in the dream when the dark days come
But I will make the time run backwards
And I'll make the stars shine again
I will light up the sky to a bright crimson nights
And they'll shine together forever
With brilliant silver colors they'll shine forever

The whirls of stars takes you now far away
Away from the cold nightmare
Let go of your thoughts and dreams
And you will feel the warmth once again
Starchild, in the Sea of Stars you fall
You fall like a burning,




Starchild, in the Sea of Stars you fall
But there is no end to creation

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wintersun's "Starchild" speaks of a person's journey of self-discovery and creating their own universe. The first stanza describes the universe as a mysterious and unconventional place that cannot be contained by walls or time. The second stanza talks about letting go of one's thoughts and dreams because they are no longer within reach. The third stanza is about self-discovery and overcoming the obstacles in a person's life.


The chorus is a call to the "Starchild" to keep moving forward, to keep creating, because they are free to do so. The next stanza is about the journey being fraught with difficulty, though in its difficulty there is strength to be found. The last stanza speaks of the dissonance being resolved and a perfect harmony being attained. The message behind the lyrics is one of perseverance in the face of adversity and taking charge of one's own reality, rather than being content to let life happen to them.

I float in the sea of stars, and drift away from the shore


I will be lost in the dream when the dark days come
I will become lost in the dream when the dark days approach,


But I will make the time run backwards
But I will make time run backwards,


And I'll make the stars shine again
And I'll make the stars shine once more,


I will light up the sky to a bright crimson nights
I will brighten the sky with brilliant crimson nights,


And they'll shine together forever
And they'll shine together eternally,


With brilliant silver colors they'll shine forever
Shining forever in sparkling silver colours


The whirls of stars takes you now far away
The swirls of stars transport you far away,


Away from the cold nightmare
Away from the cold nightmare,


Let go of your thoughts and dreams And you will feel the warmth once again
Release your thoughts and dreams, and once again feel the warmth,


Starchild, in the Sea of Stars you fall
Starchild, you fall into the Sea of Stars,


You fall like a burning,But there is no end to creation
You fall like a burning star, but creation is without end

For all those who's screens are a little bit too small:

So mysterious is your world,
Concealed beyond the stars
Far away from the earth,
It flows one with time and dark as the night
Million shapes and colors
Are storming inside your mind
Creating endless dimensions
Forming universes without walls
Let go of the stars, the stars that fell into the sea
Let go of your thoughts and dreams,
What can you see now
Wanderer of time
It's too late now
Creator of Dimensions
Destroy the walls of time
Hands of the blind are holding your fate
Tides of life will take you away, will take you away
Starchild!
Visions are born from the unknown force
It dominates the way of time
The dream only ends, when the worlds come to an end,
When the world comes to an end
Starchild!
You cannot escape to the dark streams of the sea,
To suppress your dreams
Nothing can keep you away from the need to create
'Cause your path is free
I've hold the fire within myself
Years I've walked in the coldest winds
Through the deserts of sand and snow
The time is passing and I know
That I'm wasting my life, destroying my dreams
I'm diving into the bottomless sea
From sorrow and pain I find my strength
The more pain I feel, the more I see
Now I'm watching my life flowing in the dark
Like streams of fear running through my heart
And it's wearing me down until I'm gone
Soon I'll join the endless whirls of stars
And I fall deeper into the unknown voids (Something is dying, yet something is born)
And I fall into infinity like a burning star (When will I find my silent dawn)
I fall like a burning star!
I fall like a burning star!
I fall like a burning star!
The curtains of mist are fading
And the veils of star clouds are revealed
Storms of new energy

New constellations are born
In total harmony of perfection
And the dissonant unbalance was broken

And they'll shine together forever
With brilliant silver colors they'll shine forever
The whirls of stars takes you now far away
Away from the cold nightmare

Starchild, in the Sea of Stars you fall
You fall like a burning,
Starchild, in the Sea of Stars you fall
But there is no end to creation
