Starlight
Wolfgun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Running down, running down, running down, running down, running down, running down like a river over me
In starlight
In starlight

It surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds even what we can't see
In starlight
In starlight
Not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, for it arrives only quietly
In starlight

Twilight growing in my shadow
A starless airy sky, intending to imply that the sun was dying

Starlight creeping in my window
A ghostly lantern's glow; it tried to let me know there was time outside

There was time only little was seen, but we know this is strong, like the growth of a seed
It is what's determined and has been set forth; many years have decided, but regret is cold

Running down, running down, running down, running down, running down, running down like a river over me
In starlight
In starlight

It surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds even what we can't see
In starlight
In starlight

Not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, for it arrives only quietly
In starlight

Moonlight raining on my shoulders
Casting out my fears, and drawing ever nearer, to betray its holder

Dawning; peering over the mountain
It scatters darkness' trace, and all will hide their face, to behold its glory

There was time only little was seen, but we know this is strong, like the growth of a seed
It is what's determined and has been set forth; many years have decided, but regret is cold

Running down, running down, running down, running down, running down, running down like a river over me
In starlight
In starlight

It surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds, it surrounds even what we can't see
In starlight
In starlight





Not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, not a sound, for it arrives only quietly
In starlight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wolfgun's "Starlight" express a sense of wonder and reverence for the natural world, particularly for the light of the stars and moon. The repetition of phrases like "running down" and "it surrounds" create a sense of immersive, all-encompassing beauty that is both immediate and eternal. The singer reflects on the power of time and growth, symbolized by the metaphor of a seed, and emphasizes the importance of determination and intentionality in order to fully appreciate the fleeting moments of life.


The imagery in the verses adds to the sense of awe and mystery conveyed by the lyrics. The first verse features the image of a river running over the singer, which could symbolize the overwhelming power of nature or emotions. Meanwhile, the second verse observes the play of light and darkness, with moonlight dispelling fears and dawn casting out traces of darkness. The chorus of "Starlight" reinforces the idea that this natural beauty connects and surrounds everything, even the unseen or unknowable.
