Cover art for Unhook The Stars lyrics by Cyndi Lauper

To me, it’s like she didn’t want to stay and watch something beautiful fall apart, although she may have known that it was and there was nothing she could do. Things fall apart. But she almost didn’t want to watch it fall apart because the stars were once so bright (her love was), or she saw it that way. And I think maybe she still loves this person, but not in the same way, and she’s sorry it has to be over because it was so great, she didn’t want to unhook the stars with them. But she is also content with what is happening and hopeful. I don't know, this kind of means to me that she thought everything was beautiful but she just didn't feel the same and she's sorry she is unhooking the stars with her relationship or whatever, but she is open and looking and hopeful and ready for something else maybe. She says she's not running away or sad, which is why I think she's content. She said she kept all his letter though, which to me shows that he still has meaning to her, but as I said not in the same way. I don't know, just my interpretation! This song really speaks to me.
