Gorillaz – Starshine Lyrics 3 years ago
@[violent_midget:43882] I see it in a similar way. I felt it from the first moment I heard it in the documentary "bananaz".
At first, vaguely, I thought of the past, one not so distant for me, adolescence. People who come and go from our lives, the banality of the moments lived, everything seemed to matter so little. Time passed, burning every moment of the present, almost like a cut to these days.
Then, after thinking more about it, I began to relate it to my existential problems that I've carried since that time. I always thought, that a solution would emerge eventually. That a path was simply going to emerge and I'd just have to take it.
"Starshine", the stars we all rise to see, I interpret it as the hope that this light will guide my path, that it will help me find reasons.
"Never gonna find me", time passed, this light seems to never come. And I begin to accept, that it will never find me. Because I learned that these kinds of answers don't work with me, they don't alleviate my existential conflict.
It leaves me no choice but to assume this absurdity. Assume it, but not let myself be consumed by it, because although this absurdity surrounds the whole damned existence, I know with all certainty that I have myself in this chaos, and I intend to cling to that security, to cling to my own hope. "Stand easy with myself, oh myself", "Jumping up and low low low", and it's not about looking ahead and thinking positive. It's about recognizing these miseries, learning to live with them, to cling to what really matters to us.
