Wandering Star
p Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

(Always) doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
(Always) doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel...
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever




Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

Overall Meaning

In P's song "Wandering Star," the artist expresses his pain and asks for someone to share his grief. He remarks on the irony of the lovely day outside compared to the darkness he feels inside, and expresses a desire for relief from his suffering. The "wandering stars" in the lyrics are a metaphor for those who are doomed to eternal darkness, likely a reference to those who have succumbed to addiction and are stuck in a cycle of pain and hopelessness. P compares these wandering stars to husks or empty shells, as if they have lost all sense of themselves and their purpose. The masks of the monsters that feed on their prey could be interpreted as the facade of addiction leading people to do terrible things, or more broadly, the societal pressures and expectations that can lead people to lose themselves.


Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain and darkness that can come with addiction, depression, or other forms of mental and emotional suffering. It's clear that P is grappling with some intense feelings, and the lyrics paint a bleak picture of what it's like to feel trapped in one's own pain.

My dad passed during the first wave of corona in Spain. It hit us hard. There was no funeral, nor we could not see the body. No people in the cementery. I humbled this song as I walked behind his closed casket as it was his favourite song. Miss you dad
