Your Star

I understand how this song would be perceived as being about the death of a loved one. However, to me it is also about betrayal, or losing someone from your life (not necessarily from death) whom you thought you could rely on, or who you thought would always be there. I think it's about needing someone so badly that without them you feel completely alone, but when you try and reach out to them, they give nothing in return and it's like they don't want to acknowledge you even exist. 'So far away, its growing colder without your love, why can't you feel me calling your name?'. This line of the song really hits home with me; it's almost like a desperate plea for that person to come back to you, to love you again, but they won't.

'Can't break the silence, its breaking me.' This line is also very powerful. It's almost as if you are longing to break the silence between you and the other person, and you'd do anything for them to simply talk to you, but they just won't and because of that you reach breaking point. You need them and you feel like you can't be without them. 'We're wandering now, all in parts and pieces. Swim lonely, find your own way out.' I love that line too, as I think it expresses how you have to force yourself to let go of that person in some way, although of course they still remain with you underneath everything. You're wandering through life, feeling broken, you're alone, and there's no one there to help so you have to stand up, be strong and figure it out on your own.

I really love this song. It touches my heart (as do all of Ev's songs) and I think it's so unique and beautiful. Extremely powerful and emotional.
