Lyrics for February Stars as interpreted by me109cito

February Stars Lyrics
Hanging on here until I'm gone
Right where I belong,
Just hanging on

Even though I watched you come and go
How was I to know you'd steal the show

One day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
And bet it all

Hanging on, here until I'm gone
Right where I belong
Just hanging on

Even though
I passed this time alone
Somewhere so unknown
It heals the soul

You ask for walls, I'll build them higher
We'll lie in the shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
And I fall

February stars
Floating in the dark
Temporary scars
February stars

it sounds like someone needing time just to be, to think through whatever has happened before moving on but knowing + accepting that in a strange kind of way
...or that's maybe how it feels, not wanting to speculate too much on the deeper background...

this is song is always over looked. everlong steals the album, but this song and Hey! Johnny Park are equally amazing. i just can't belive that these fucking awesome songs all came from one perosn and ended up on the same album. it blows my mind.

I think this song is about the end of high school and going away to collage where your unknown. That's what it means to me anyway.

if you have ever actually listened to the song you can tell that it says "Temporary Scars" not "Temporary Stars"

According to Dave (god), this song is about holding on by the tips of your fingers and hoping you don't slip and fall.
And that's what it means to me. It's about holding on for dear life, about fragility, and about trying your hardest to make everything work.
The music in this song is simply amazing. The dynamics of the way it builds, and then explodes in a climax at the end is a work of pure genius.

This song inflicts exposures burnt in my mind. I love it--for some reason I always think about sitting on top of the hood of some car, while staring at the stars. As the song speeds up, a meteor shower begins. Beautiful.

Lyrics are incorrect, and I only just noticed. Here's the correction:

hanging on
here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hanging on
even though I watched you come and go
how was i to know you'd steal thel show
one day I'll have enough to gamble
I'll wait to hear your final call
Bet it all

hanging on
hanging on here until I'm gone
right where I belong
just hanging on
even though, passed this time alone
somewhere so unknown
it heals the soul
you ask for walls, I'll build them higher
we'll lie in shadows of them all
I'd stand but they're much too tall
and I fall
february stars

Such a wonderful song, this one.
Foo Fighters are awesome!

I think this song in particular has something to do with a relationship that is dwindling away... He's trying to hold onto it but his grip is slipping and it's falling away and out of touch... Really sad, and the worst thing is it's not uncommon for most people to experience something like this...You feel like you belong somewhere, or with someone, but you're slowly coming to the conclusion that it just won't last forever. It's a 'coming to terms with' sort of song.

My opinion, anyway, awesome frickin's song!

As so many people have stated above, this is about the last stages of a relationship in which Dave has become a spectator and is trying to hold onto for as long as possible. Because he's been involved in a number of separations (his parents, his wife, Kurt), I think this song is about the common characteristics of a disolving relationship rather than an isolated incident so I can see why so many people have posted about their take on the lyrics.
