Whenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore
Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow could always keep her small
So frightened that he won’t love her
She builds up a wall

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

She's been in disguise forever
She's tried to disguise her stellar views
Much brighter than all this static
Now she's coming through

Oh no, she knows where to hide in the dark
Oh no, she's nowhere to hide in the dark
She's a star
She's a star

Don't tell her to turn down
Put on your shades if you can't see
Don't tell her to turn down
Turn up the flame
She's a star
She's a star

It's a long road
It's a good call
It's a long road
It's a good call

You got it
You got it
She's a Star

    Song Meaning:This song is one of those which is difficult to hear properly and you can apply different lyrics or meaning to it based on what you thought you heard.

    To me, I always heard the line "put on your shades and you feel fine"..maybe not while actually listening to the song, but just in my mind when I think of the song.. and that to me, set a whole different tone and meaning to the song, than what it appears to mean looking at the lyrics. The feeling I got was of a shy struggling star who is a reluctant star, trapped in this celebrity lifestyle but really intently shy and wanting to hide away.

    However, if you read the lyrics closely, it looks to be more about a person who emerges as a star based on their beliefs and being brave enough to speak out.

    General Comment:THE VIDEO:
    I Think its about a larger than life person (Star of some sort) who has an assistant who walks around behind her when she goes to places and holds her jacket when the star enters a room only until its her time to shine and wear nice things later on in the vid. I think some jealousy is shown in the vid ,but I think Everyone is a STAR to certain peoples eyes. I think my dog is a STAR!
