Burning Stars Lyrics

Cover art for Burning Stars lyrics by Mimicking Birds

Fell in love this song instantly the first time I heard it live when Mimicking Birds opened for Modest Mouse.

I think this song might be about getting older in life and finding a relationship with someone that you can count on and who can also count on you. One eye each from two people can see more than two eyes from one person. The burning star represents the frailty of our lives, as anything that burns will eventually burn itself out, just like all our lives will eventually end one day. Live life to the fullest, and appreciate how special it is to have a bond with someone who will always be there for you no matter what.

My Interpretation

Eyezack, nicely put. I saw Mimicking Birds with Modest Mouse too, in Orlando. Since then, I've been checking them out and listening to them on Myspace.
