Meaning Losts Stars

Trata de una persona que por no estar cegada en la inconciencia colectiva, respondiendo a los
estándares de lo que “debería ser” pide que no la traten como si estuviera errada, sino que se siente a la
deriva en su camino en la vida, se ve atrapada en el hecho de que no ha logrado los objetivos que ha
estado tratando de alcanzar, y tiene la esperanza de que todavía podrían suceder. Pide que la vean como
alguien que está buscando encontrarse pero que aún no logra verse, está llegando a la comprensión de
que a veces, las grandes cosas que se esperan, que se planean, tan sólo fracasan, si pones tu vida en eso
también puedes caer, por lo que pide que la acompañen también a vivir disfrutando y dando valor a lo
presente ( no vivas esperando disfrutar el resultado de planes futuros, pues postergas felicidad hoy).

El enamoramiento ya no es respuesta a su vida (distinto que el amor, pues habla de cupido,

enamoramiento ciego que estaba destinado a terminar mal, en cambio el hermano de Cupido, llamado
Anteros otorgaba el amor correspondido), y se ve enfrentado y embriagado en el sufrimiento, se
pregunta si su vida hasta ahora a tenido algún significado en absoluto, y si ha logrado algo o hecho algo
de sí mismo. Ve el comienzo del final de su vida acercándose, por lo que comienza a buscar y tratar de
encontrar el sentido de su vida. Descubre que hay esperanza, que no puede quedarse en sus memorias
negativas, pues de seguir así aún pueden suceder cosas más duras que las que ha vivido, se da cuenta
que no debe quedarse estancado, que es posible .

Tiene la esperanza de que quizás haya más por él en la vida de lo que imaginaba por sí mismo.

Encuentra en los cuestionamientos respuesta a como seguir su vida, le hacen sentido de búsqueda de
pero no tiene respuesta respecto al cuestionamiento último sobre la existencia humana, y sólo siente
que somos estrellas perdidas tratando de iluminar la oscuridad.

That's the Lyrics:

Please don’t see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies1
Please see me reaching out for someone I can’t see2
Take my hand let’s see where we wake up tomorrow3
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand4
I’d be damned Cupid’s demanding back his arrow5
So let’s get drunk on our tears6 and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young7

It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run8
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?9

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?10

Woe is me, if we’re not careful turns into reality11
Don’t you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow12
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer13
Turn the page maybe we’ll find a brand new ending14
Where we’re dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying

I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same15

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It’s hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying

I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?16

terminar al verse los defectos o terminar la

olvido…. A menos que se conozca al hermano

correspondido y la pasión, Cupido cuando está
