The group formed in March 2000 from the ashes of a previous musical effort - Ghistor - formed by Shawn, Amanda, and Arthur while studying art and design at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. A few years later, after a chance meeting with Michael, who had recently relocated to Brooklyn from his hometown Philadelphia, the former classmates reunited, this time with Shawn on vocals.
Stellastarr* played their first gig at the Luna Lounge on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in July 2000 and began releasing a limited series of independent/homemade CDEPs shortly after. To date, they have toured with Jane's Addiction, The Raveonettes, Placebo, The Killers and The Subways, among others.
Stellastarr*'s second album, entitled Harmonies for the Haunted, was released in America on September 13, 2005. Their third album Civlized was released in 2009 and proved to be their last.
Move On
stellastarr* Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just had to leave before all the mysteries unfold
Confrontations won't affect
Constellations in your eyes
I'm not looking for the home
I'm just looking for the light tonight
A story for the age
It's the dawning of our lives
It's the dawning of our day
Saw the future of the world back in 1994
It's the controversial thrills we adore
Darling give me one more chance
I don't want your tears again tonight
I don't want to break your plans
I don't want to confuse you tonight
Darling do you need a change
Darling do you need a change
Darling move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on, move on
One more time
You're down under one more time
You're down under one more time
You're down under one more time
You're down under one more time
You're down under one more time
You're down under one more time
Your down under - Why? Why?
Darling give me one more chance
I don't want your tears again tonight
I don't want to break your plans
I don't want to confuse you tonight
Darling do you need a change
Darling do you need a change
Darling move on
Move on, move on, move on, move on, move on
The lyrics of Stellastarr*'s "Move On" appear to be about letting go of the past and moving forward, even if it means leaving someone behind. The singer struggles with the decision to leave, acknowledging that it may cause confusion and hurt for the other person. However, they ultimately decide that they need to move on and find their own light, even if it means leaving behind the person they care about.
The first verse suggests that the singer is leaving to avoid the unknown. They want to leave before any mysteries or unresolved issues can come to light, perhaps indicating that they are afraid of what they might find. The second verse talks about building a story together, but it's not clear whether this is something the singer still wants or something that they are acknowledging is no longer possible. The line "it's the dawning of our day" suggests that this is a new beginning for the singer.
The chorus repeats the phrase "move on" over and over again, emphasizing the idea that it's time to leave the past behind and move forward. The bridge references the year 1994 and "controversial thrills," which could be a reference to specific events or cultural shifts that happened around that time. The final repetition of "you're down under" is somewhat cryptic, but it could suggest that the singer feels trapped or buried under the weight of their past.
Overall, "Move On" is a song about the struggle to leave someone behind and find a new path forward. The lyrics suggest that the singer is conflicted, but ultimately decides that it's time to move on and find their own light.
