Starlight
wstdyth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
