I think the meaning of unhook the stars is a lot darker than you think , when Cyndi Lauper broke up with her boyfriend and lived in a hotel , she became depressed and drank a lot . She was also suicidal and thought jumping from her hotel room . So I guess unhook the stars , is that she wanted to turn the lights out. It’s funny as I’m in the same situation at the present time . I am separated and have addiction problems , but I’m not suicidal . I could be wrong , but that’s how I interpreted it on first listen, because I remembered about her difficult time in that hotel .
