Starry Eyes
Cigarettes After Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I get to you, my true little
Starry eyes
What can I say or do for you, my little
Starry eyes
Starry eyes forever
Shall be mine
What can I say to make you listen
Starry eyes
What can I do for your attention
Starry eyes
Starry eyes forever
Shall be mine
When I'm alone I hear and feel you
Wish that I could reach right out and touch you
But knowing you're the one to greet me, and meet me
Two alone in the dark, may it be
Starry eyes
The sparks will fall on me
Starry eyes
Won't you listen that I'm here being
For you, starry eyes
Starry eyes forever
Shall be mine
Starry eyes forever
Shall be mine
The lyrics of Cigarettes After Sex's song Starry Eyes have a romantic and yearning theme. The singer seems to be addressing someone with "starry eyes," which can be interpreted as a metaphorical representation of someone who is captivating, dreamy, or simply has beautiful eyes that resemble stars. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is infatuated with this person and is willing to do anything to get their attention.
The lyrics in the first stanza convey the singer's desire to win over the "starry eyes" person. They seem insistent on letting that person know that they are genuine in their approach and that their love for them will be forever. The second stanza implies that the singer is aware of the other person's disinterest in them and is willing to make significant efforts to capture their attention. The chorus repeats the line "starry eyes forever shall be mine," which suggests that the singer's feelings for them will never fade away.
The third stanza suggests that the singer can sense the presence of the "starry eyes" person even when they are not physically around. The lyrics express the frustration and longing of wanting to touch that person, which only amplifies their need to connect with them. The idea of being alone in the dark with this person further highlights their desire for intimacy. The last stanza closes out the song by reiterating that the singer's goal is to be with the "starry eyes" person forever.

Sameee! It's like you're torn between wanting them to be famous for how good their music is but you don't want to be overplayed anywhere.
@PianoCookies821
