In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
(People they come together)
People they fall apart
(People they fall apart)
No one can stop us now
(No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(We are all made of stars)
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
'Cause we are all made of stars
(People they fall apart)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(No one can stop us now)
'Cause we are all made of stars
(We are all made of stars)
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace
People they come together

(We are all made of stars)
'Cause we are all made of stars

'Cause we are all made of stars
(People they fall apart)
'Cause we are all made of stars

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i love people who, instead of voicing opinions, just say everything sucks... and don't even spell it right. nice job. even if i agreed with you, you'd still piss the hell out of me.
Away with everyone saying how good or bad everything is. Besides, how are the unique Moby and mainstream Eminem related in any way? Appreciate the fact that this is an astonishing song, and if you thin, one of the most meaningful. Moby is showing various subjects in the lyrics to this song. The main message is how we should perceive our world. The music video shows him as an outsider amongst celeb culture, where the message that we can achieve anything from minds like the "stars" is wrongly implied. What he is actually saying is that we are here because of stars in the sky; which is scientifically valid. Every chemical element heavier than helium was created by fusion within stars, which went onto later stellar generations, including our solar system. Therefore, we are all made of stars. Moby has also contrasted the science with patterns we follow in our lives; supposedly a reminder of our origins. Humans, like stars, are growing in numbers without disturbance or any way to be stopped, but no matter what humans or stars do, past or fate cannot be changed. Humans and stars are both born and both die no matter what, and although we know how both came to be, there are still uncertainties, and we know both will come to an end as one, but do not know how or when. This is all implied by what I consider the most philosophical lyrics I know, which are simple but to a great effect. So anyone who does not like this song has not understood it. If you don't, you should look at this in a mindful way and not criticise.
@deadmoby5 You can feel that in the song as soon as you hear it, it speaks (or sings) to you. I'd also like to add that physics proves that reality is but a projection and that we are one collective consciousness. Our thoughts and actions manifest and shape our reality. Moby's lyrics are always so in depth, he is one of the most lyrically gifted artists of our time.
I like Eminem, I think he's funny but the fact is that what he says is usually all in fun. So quoting something he sings in one of his songs to make a point is just a waste your precious time. And if you don't like the song the why come to look at ther lyrics in the first place. Unless you were trying to start an argument
Techno rules! But anyways peeps, this song is not techno. But still good.
to be the nephew of herman melville would make him pretty damn old... however, i did hear that they were somehow related. but i don't think melville was moby's uncle. he died in 1891... anyways, in reference to this song, i rather like it, though i usually dislike moby.
How would any one who doesn't listen to techno know how sucky it is. And just because you don't like some type of music doesn't mean that it sucks shit. If you ask me it's that type of attitude that is "shitty" and "sucks" Oh ans since you quoted from that Eminem song don't you think the beat is just to die for considering it is just as techno as a lot of "techno" music?
ha, its nice to know that you have a mind of your own. Nice to know that you have been brain washed. You cant even speak for yourself. Why dont you qoute yourself sometimes,...and not some one else.
I like eminem,.....I think he is an amazing rapper,....but he takes it to the extreme,....and possibly to far,....I am not going to sit here and complain that he sucks
moby is not the nephew of herman melville. Herman melville is the great great grand uncle of moby
yo samus eminem is a fucking pozer,the freak is rite, people hoo don't listen to techno don't no if it is good or not
i like eminem but he is just so contreversial and he knows that. but he can be a pozer sometimes
