The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Starchild" by the artist "Wintersun"

Contents

Wintersun's "Starchild" narrates the journey of a nameless cosmic entity, the "Starchild," through time, space, and its own consciousness.

Part I (Time Wanderer) depicts the Starchild as a powerful being capable of creating universes and manipulating time. Yet, it's lost and alone, drifting through the emptiness of space. Falling stars symbolize fading hopes and dreams. The Starchild cannot change the past and is doomed to eternal wandering.

Part II (Burning Star) delves into the Starchild's suffering and despair. The fire within represents both creative energy and destructive pain. It feels lost in an endless sea of time and space, its dreams crumbling. The "burning star's" fall reflects the loss of hope and a sense of hopelessness.

Part III (Creation) marks a turning point. The fog clears, and the Starchild finds renewed energy. A process of creation takes place, with new universes being born. The dissonance and imbalance are replaced with harmony and perfection.

Part IV (Sea of Stars) symbolizes the infinity of the universe and new possibilities. The Starchild sails this sea, unafraid of the darkness, ready to face any challenge. It gains control over time and makes the stars shine again.

Part V (Termination) is a catharsis. The Starchild, having gone through suffering and despair, finds peace in the infinity of the "Sea of Stars." Falling here is not a tragedy, but a symbol of eternal movement and creation. Despite the seemingly final fall, it is emphasized that "there is no end to creation."

[Part I (Wanderer of Time)]

So mysterious is your world,

Concealed beyond the stars

Far away from the earth,

It flows one with time and dark as the night

Million shapes and colours

Are storming inside your mind

Creating endless dimensions

Forming universes without walls

Let go! of the stars, the stars that fell into the sea

Let go! of your thoughts and dreams,

What can you see now

You cannot save them anymore

- Wanderer of time -

It's too late now

- Creator of Dimensions -

Destroy the walls of time

Hands of the blind are holding your fate

Tides of life will take you away, will take you away

Starchild!

Visions are born from the unknown force

It dominates the way of time

The dream only ends, when the worlds come to an end

Starchild!

You cannot escape to the dark streams of the sea,

To suppress your dreams

Nothing can keep you away from the need to create

'cause your path is free...

[Part II (Buring Star)]

I've hold the fire within myself

Years I've walked in the coldest winds

Through the deserts of sand and snow

The time is passing and I know,

That I'm wasting my life, destroying my dreams

I'm diving into the bottomless sea

From sorrow and pain I find my strength

The more pain I feel, the more I see

Now I'm watching my life flowing in the dark

Like streams of fear running through my heart

And it's wearing me down until I'm gone

Soon I'll join the endless whirls of stars

And I fall deeper into the unknown voids

Something is dying, yet something is born

And I fall into infinity like a burning star

When will I find my silent dawn

I fall like a burning star!

[Part III (The Creation)]

The curtains of mist are fading

And the veils of star clouds are revealed

Storms of new energy

Flows in the depths of my mind

New constellations are born

In total harmony of perfection

And the dissonant unbalance was broken

As the colours fell straight from the light

[Part IV (The Sea of Stars)]

I'm floating in the sea of stars,

I'm drifting away from the shore

I will be lost in the dream when the dark days come

But I will make the time run backwards and

I'll make the stars shine again

I will light up the sky to a bright crimson nights

... And they'll shine together forever

With brilliant silver colours they'll shine forever

[Part V (Finale)]

The whirls of stars takes you now far away

Away from the cold nightmare

Let go of you thoughts and dreams

And you will feel the warmth once again

Starchild! in the Sea of Stars you fall

You fall like a burning star!

Starchild! in the Sea of Stars you fall

... But there is no end to creation
