Starlight
wstdyth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nothing is staying the same
Why do I feel this way
I just wanna say what I think
But your gonna think i′m insane
You know I've been smoking a lot
You know i′m in love with the change
You dont ever leave from my mind
Under a spell like a mage

Girl you keep me in a lock box
Always make the time stop
Wish you needed me but you dont
Cause your hearts locked
I guess that im good on my own
Cause baby you dont hit my phone
But you know your keeping me up at night
Need you in my bed and i'll be alright

Fill my lungs making sure I feel alright
Want your love since I saw you in the starlight
Chasing bands cause I know i'm living right
I′m still waiting for you cause I know that you might
Come around you know you can spend the night
Want your love since I saw you in the starlight
Taking drugs making sure I feel alright
I′m still waiting for you cause I know that you might

And the moonlight seeping in my bedroom
Won't let me forget you

Fill my lungs making sure I feel alright
Want your love since I saw you in the starlight
Chasing bands cause I know i′m living right
I'm still waiting for you cause I know that you might
Come around you know you can spend the night
Want your love since I saw you in the starlight
Taking drugs making sure i feel alright
I′m still waiting for you cause I know that you might
Tell me is the nighttime getting to your head too
I just need a minute 'cause I dont wanna regret you

And your only in my head but i miss you
Baby i just wish you




Knew what i was feeling so i dont have to admit to
Being scared of finding someone this soon

Overall Meaning

In this song, the singer seems to be struggling with feelings of extreme longing and attachment towards someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings. The lyrics "Nothing is staying the same, why do I feel this way" suggest that the singer is feeling a significant shift in their emotions and perhaps their life circumstances, but they can't quite put their finger on why. They want to express how they feel, but they fear being seen as crazy or overly emotional. The repetition of the phrase "fill my lungs making sure I feel alright" suggests that the singer is relying on drugs to numb their feelings and make them feel more okay with the situation.


The chorus highlights the singer's intense desire for the person they're singing about, using starlight as a metaphor for the initial spark of attraction that they can't seem to shake. The line "taking drugs making sure I feel alright" alludes to the idea that the singer is using substances to cope with their emotions, specifically the pain of unrequited love. However, the line "I′m still waiting for you cause I know that you might" suggests that there may still be some hope for the relationship to develop in the future, even if it's currently one-sided.


Line by Line Meaning

Nothing is staying the same
Change is a constant and everything is in a state of flux


Why do I feel this way
Questioning the origin of their emotions


I just wanna say what I think
Desiring to express themselves freely


But your gonna think i′m insane
Fearful of being judged and misunderstood


You know I've been smoking a lot
Confessing to using substances as a coping mechanism


You know i′m in love with the change
Having an affinity for novelty


You dont ever leave from my mind
Thinking about someone incessantly


Under a spell like a mage
Feeling entranced and hypnotized


Girl you keep me in a lock box
Feeling trapped and controlled by the object of their affection


Always make the time stop
Losing track of time when in the presence of their crush


Wish you needed me but you dont
Longing for reciprocated feelings


Cause your hearts locked
Recognizing that the other person is emotionally unavailable


I guess that im good on my own
Coming to terms with being alone


Cause baby you dont hit my phone
Feeling neglected and ignored


But you know your keeping me up at night
Unable to stop thinking about the person


Need you in my bed and i'll be alright
Believing that intimacy will solve their problems


Fill my lungs making sure I feel alright
Numbing themselves with substances to avoid negative feelings


Want your love since I saw you in the starlight
Being infatuated with someone at first sight


Chasing bands cause I know i'm living right
Pursuing a hedonistic lifestyle to feel fulfilled


And the moonlight seeping in my bedroom
Feeling lonely and isolated


Won't let me forget you
Being unable to move on from the person


Taking drugs making sure I feel alright
Escaping reality through substance abuse


Tell me is the nighttime getting to your head too
Questioning if the other person is also struggling emotionally


I just need a minute 'cause I dont wanna regret you
Taking some time to reflect on their feelings


And your only in my head but i miss you
Thinking about the person constantly


Baby i just wish you
Expressing a desire for something that may not be possible


Knew what i was feeling so i dont have to admit to
Feeling vulnerable and afraid of rejection


Being scared of finding someone this soon
Fearful of jumping into a relationship too quickly
