Maybe I've been a problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off
And blame myself the outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been part of the cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking if the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Yeah!
Everyone, everyone who feels so lonely
Everyone, yeah everyone who feels so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone
OHH!
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off
And blame myself the outcome feels the same
I've been thinking maybe I've been part of the cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how
The chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking if the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home
I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars
I feel like myself
Yeah!
Everyone, everyone who feels so lonely
Everyone, yeah everyone who feels so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars
I see someone
OHH!

In this song, it even mentions a couple of things that were quoted from her. Which could be on accident, but maybe not? I don't know. It just really stuck out to me.
I love Switchfoot. Their support for not only Christianity, but for victims of SI and depression is awesome. They're so great.
The lyrics suit with me. Since I'm a little kid, I've always looked up the stars and said that there's someone, out there. I never believe in God, but yes, I do believe that we are not the only planet with like on it. It's highly illogical to think the opposite.
This is one of my favourites verses of all songs ever made:
Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe start to wonder how the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
I've been thinking about the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent begin to look like home
The lyrics, "when I look at the stars I feel like myself", describes me completely
When i grow up it is my dream to work for NASA, and when I look up at the stars I see everything i am, everything I am going to be, and I see the greatness of God.
There is nothing like looking up at the night sky to realize how incredibly small you are. It is so humbling.
there are words in this song that have a deep meaning.
the band is a Christian band and they are talking about how they see a problem with the world but cant seem to fix it on their own.
"even when i turn it off and blame my self the outcome feels the same."
the recognise a problem but they cant seem to know how to fix it. thats when he or she looks at the stars. the stars could very well represent Jesus or God. becuase when he looks at everyone else, they look all the same. but when he "looks at the stars" he sees someone else that makes him or her feel comfortable. so now that we figured out that stars represent God or Jesus we can now replace that word with either GOd or Jesus.
in the next stanza it says "stars looking at the planets watching entorpy and pain" replace stars with God and this is where vocab comes in handy. the word entropy means "of inevitable social degeneration or decline" so God sees the world and sees "entropy and pain" and he wonders why we still keep living like this like its okay. so the guy or girl starts to think about a "hope" beyond him or herself and he/she starts to see Infinite (a reference to infinite life which was a promis by God given to man) and penitent (which means the feeling of sorrow for sin and wanting to ask for forgivness) begin to look good to him. and so the rest is self explanitory.
over all a very good song with a very deep meaning.

This song obviously means looking deep into yourself to find who you truly are. Our lives are filled with drama, chaos, and constant worrying of how others see us. This is about how you see yourself, which, in my personal opinion, is the most important thing of all things. If you're happy with who you are, and if you're confident, others will see you as a happy, confident person. Very, very inspiring song. Long live Switchfoot!
