starry cat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A week ago a huge crater entered my life
I can feel your hands on my chest
And you know that I like you the best
And you're mad at your shadow on the wall

I had a dream where everything changed
Nothing was the same
I woke up feeling new

and I meant
That at my falling out, I knew that its alright
But it's not the same (oh well)

Everything dies
There's no point in trying
Sooner or later
Love will die
And if it doesn't
I know it will take me itself

I had a dream where everything changed
Nothing was the same
I woke up feeling new
and I meant

That at my falling out, I knew that its alright
But it's not the same (oh well)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Starry Cat's song "You're the Reason I Believe in Ghosts" carry a melancholic and introspective tone, delving into the pain of lost love and the inevitability of death. The opening line of "A week ago a huge crater entered my life" suggests a recent break-up or significant loss that has deeply impacted the singer. They can feel their ex-lover's absence in a physical way with the line "I can feel your hands on my chest." Despite this pain, the singer still holds affection for their ex, acknowledging that "you [they] know that I [they] like you [them] the best." However, it seems that the break-up was not the result of a severe fight or conflict, as the line "you're mad at your shadow on the wall" implies frustration with something insignificant.

The second verse introduces the idea of change and transformation, with the singer saying "I had a dream where everything changed, Nothing was the same, I woke up feeling new." This dream could represent the singer's desire for a fresh start or a metaphorical death and rebirth. The lyrics also suggest that despite the pain of the break-up, the singer has accepted it and understands that "everything dies," including love. The final line of the song, "But it's not the same (oh well)," is a melancholic acceptance of the loss, acknowledging that things will never return to how they were, but they will be okay.

I can feel your hands on my chest

Everything dies
All things eventually come to an end
