Star of the Age Lyrics
When you are lost
You climb to the firing range
Without a lantern in your life
But the star of the age
And in the bright flash
An emptiness burns away
You trade the darkness of your mind
For the star of the age
Surging away from the tower's embrace
You race like a tiger
Relentlessly lashing the days
And leave, in the wake of our wandering lives
The signs we are aging
The houses we drowned in the lake
While a shining world
Believes that, inside of days
All the darkness of our lives
will meet the star of the age
While the buildings fall
In silence and reverie
Among the islands of our minds
Among the stars of the age
Oh shining world!
Where nothing is happening
But what is in our minds
The swelling stars of the age
But still my love
the only relieving light
In the spinning darkness of our lives
Is when I see you again
In the moonlight
In the starlight
In the sunlight
And I believe it again
You climb to the firing range
Without a lantern in your life
But the star of the age
An emptiness burns away
You trade the darkness of your mind
For the star of the age
You race like a tiger
Relentlessly lashing the days
And leave, in the wake of our wandering lives
The signs we are aging
The houses we drowned in the lake
Believes that, inside of days
All the darkness of our lives
will meet the star of the age
In silence and reverie
Among the islands of our minds
Among the stars of the age
Where nothing is happening
But what is in our minds
The swelling stars of the age
the only relieving light
In the spinning darkness of our lives
Is when I see you again
In the moonlight
In the starlight
In the sunlight
And I believe it again

Love every line in the song. Few songs can make me feel this way...
Why are there NO COMMENTS ON THIS SONG?
This is my personal interpretation, and I don't think this was intended at all by Jonathan Meiburg when he wrote it, but this song reminds me of the Star card in tarot. Common inferences for The Star include hope, healing, inspiration, generosity, serenity, positive thinking... yo, this is inspiring me to make a Major Arcana playlist. Shearwater, you are awesome.
what are the stars of our age?
@brandonjpj The will to move forward, to chose love instead of hate, to transcend the world going on around us...

This song is a journey from confusion and darkness to enlightenment and hope, guided by both contemporary influences and personal connections. While the external world may seem chaotic and transient, inner transformation and love offer true solace and direction. The star of the age is yourself.
