The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Praf De Stele" by the artist "Vita de vie"

In the song "Praf De Stele" ("Stardust") by the Moldovan band Vita de Vie, the lyrical hero is on a quest to find his place in the world, trying to understand his past and future. Stardust becomes a metaphor for aspirations, dreams, losses, and memories that accompany him on this journey.

The first verse paints a picture of the beginning of the journey. An open guitar symbolizes creative potential and the desire to express oneself. A blank sheet is a metaphor for new opportunities and the uncertainty of the future. Stardust on clothes speaks of a connection to something bigger than himself, a desire to achieve something meaningful. The hero tries not to forget his roots, his dreams, making his way through the thorns of life.

The second verse continues the theme of the journey, but from the standpoint of reflection. The hero looks back, trying to make sense of his experience. The stardust on his tracks is a reminder of the path traveled, of lost dreams and first mistakes. He seeks to preserve memories, to gather "gusts of wind" and turn them into words, into the story of his life.

The chorus of the song is an appeal to an unknown interlocutor, perhaps to himself, with questions about the meaning of life, about the beginning of the path and how much more remains to be passed. The first lost dream, the first misstep are important milestones on the path of personality formation. The hero seeks answers to eternal questions, trying to understand how many more opportunities and trials are in store for him.
