The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Different Stars" by the artist "Trespassers William"

Contents

In Trespassers William's song "Different Stars," the lyrical hero experiences the separation from a loved one. The lyrics are filled with longing, sadness, and a sense of irreparable loss.

The opening lines suggest that the relationship between the hero and the addressee was very close and trusting. A lullaby is a symbol of security and peace, and its absence deprives the hero of sleep. The phrase "haven't seen you in so long" implies that the separation is not temporary, but possibly even eternal, which is emphasized by the hero's uncertainty about recognizing each other if they were to meet again.

The recurring refrain "What a weight..." conveys the oppressive feeling of loneliness and despair. The hero compares their state to that of the departed: "Where you are it must be easier." He believes that the departed does not experience similar pain and does not think of him ("you won't think twice").

The hero has come to terms with the separation and is forced to seek solace in solitude ("humming to myself"). The realization that "nothing I say means anything to you now" emphasizes the chasm that has formed between them. The image of "different stars" symbolizes not only physical distance but also the divergence of life paths and destinies.

In the final stanzas, the hero's longing is mixed with concern for the one who has departed. He wants to know "if you are alright" but realizes that the other is most likely "not thinking of [him] at all." The concluding phrase reinforces the feeling of loneliness and despair, leaving the hero alone with his pain.

So you'd sing a lullaby to get me to sleep

So it's no surprise my eyes are never heavy

For I've not seen you in the flesh for so long

That I'm not sure we would know each other at all

Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are

And I know you don't think twice wherever you are

Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are

And I know you don't think twice wherever you are

So I will hum alone, too far from you

All that I say now is nothing to you

We will lie under different stars

I am where I am and you're where you are, you're where you are.

Oh the weight it must be light wherever you are

And I know you don't think twice wherever you are

And I'd ask if you're all right wherever you are

And do you think of me, you might, wherever you are.
