| Marina and the Diamonds – Starlight Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I don't know if anyone cares about my interpretation of this song, but I'll give it a go. I've been a Marina fan for a long time so I've listened to many of her songs trying to find out the meaning. But after actually reading the lyrics and not listening to them, I might understand this one. Basically the whole theme of "Starlight" is a relationship may seem like it's still alive, but it's over. This is very apparent in the pre-chorus, "Love is like starlight, even when a star dies, you can still see it shine, but it's only old light". The old light in the relationship is probably a friendship that Marina and her ex-lover had after they broke up. That's the main theme of the song but it also tells how they broke up. "You, oh you had a sad urge to be wanted by fools" and "You chose to grow your nose" alludes to how they broke up in the first place. Maybe her ex tried so hard to fit in with society and started to lie about who he was that this angered Marina. She has been known to not really agree with society's views of what's socially acceptable and thinks that you should be yourself no matter what. He might've also been ashamed of Marina since she's outspoken and is very unconventional. This lead one of them to end the relationship, but they ended up getting up on good terms. Well that's all I know but I might be wrong. |
