This song is very underrated. Many of Foreigner’s songs do not have deep meanings, but this song is an exception. This song is very similar to “Stairway To Heaven,” because they focus on taking a risk to get into heaven. The star is metaphorically representative of a human life, where it moves through space, just like we move through life. We all strive to reach the end star, heaven. However, I believe that there are more comical ways to interpret the song. It can also be interpreted as a song for when the aliens invade the world! But, a true deeper meaning is that the song could be talking about love. The “ride” can represent the true essence of love, while the end destination is undetermined, letting it take you wherever it takes you. “Not knowing where I was going” can represent the unpredictability of a relationship. Anywhere the ride (relationship) can take you is unprecedented. Foreigner’s songs were mostly about love, and this one may be no exception.
