Shining Star (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The end of your day that repeats without worry
When the light steals you
There’s no purpose in your square eyes
It just goes down like a habit

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me your habit
Always breathing carefully
Turn around and run away
They don’t know anything
Amidst the dark city

[Chorus]
Shining star You’re my Sirius
You’re my shooting star on radio star
Don’t be fooled under the city lights
Time is running out You’re lucky strike

[Verse 2]
I’ve been reading your letter that you sent without a stamp
All night long
The last line that was always blurry
I’m seeing a little more clearly

[Pre-Chorus]
Take out your wish
Always hiding carefully
Turn around and run away
They don’t know anything
Amidst the dark city

[Chorus]
Shining star You’re my Sirius
You’re my shooting star on radio star
Don’t be fooled under the city lights 마
Time is running out You’re a lucky strike

[Bridge]
There’s no place to hide in the dark city
When the night loosens its body, you have to run

[Outro]
Swim in the crowd
If your feet can’t touch, fly
When you can’t sleep, shine
Remember, even if you fall, you’re a shooting star (even if you fall, you’re a shooting star)
Above the power lines, above the building rooftop
Your blinking yesterday is behind
Into the sunlight, the moonrise you’ve been waiting for
Even when morning comes, you never melt

Shining Star Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
VERNON opens the track by capturing the monotony of daily life—the kind that repeats without thought or meaning. The imagery of a light stealing someone away reflects how easily people can get lost in distractions or expectations. The mention of “square-shaped eyes” likely references screens or a digital haze, emphasizing disconnection and lack of direction. VERNON uses this visual to highlight how habitual behavior can dull one’s sense of purpose.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, VERNON calls out the listener’s tendency to hide their true self and emotions, playing it safe by always blending in. The repeated call to “run” and defy expectations suggests a breakthrough is necessary. He criticizes those who don’t understand what it’s like to live authentically, contrasting the bold spirit of the individual with the ignorance of the masses. The dark city becomes a symbol of internal struggle and societal pressure, and the need to break away from it becomes more urgent.

[Chorus]
In this anthemic hook, VERNON lifts the listener up as a “shining star,” likening them to Sirius—the brightest star in the night sky—and a “shooting star” on the radio. It’s a poetic way of validating someone’s uniqueness and presence in a world that often tries to dim that light. The warning to not be deceived by city lights is metaphorical; these artificial glimmers may seem appealing but lack real substance. The reference to “lucky strike” implies that the person addressed is rare and valuable, capable of impacting others like a powerful moment of luck or fate.

[Verse 2]
This verse adds emotional depth through a metaphorical letter sent without a stamp—something personal yet uncertain in its destination. VERNON reads this letter during a sleepless night, reflecting the emotional weight it carries. The once unclear final line slowly becomes more visible, symbolizing clarity or emotional healing over time. The verse expresses longing, vulnerability, and the lingering hope that meaningful connections can still resonate despite emotional distance.

[Pre-Chorus]
This repeated section continues the theme of urging the listener to express their suppressed dreams and emotions. Hiding desires out of fear or habit only prolongs suffering. VERNON encourages them again to break out of these internal restraints, reminding them that many people around them simply don’t understand what they’re going through. The city remains a metaphorical maze, and escape requires courage and self-assertion.

[Chorus]
Reiterating the earlier imagery, this chorus reinforces the listener’s brilliance and value. Even amidst urban noise and confusion, they are the star that can’t be hidden. Time is running out—a gentle push to take action, follow intuition, and embrace identity before it’s lost in the chaos of external influences.

[Bridge]
This short but intense bridge acknowledges the suffocating reality of modern life—there’s nowhere to hide in a dark city. As night sets in and the world grows more overwhelming, VERNON insists that the listener must keep moving. It’s a metaphor for pushing through fear and confusion, with urgency and determination as the only way forward.

[Outro]
In this final, empowering section, VERNON offers a metaphorical lifeline. He tells the listener to keep swimming through the crowds or take flight if they feel they’re drowning. Even in sleepless nights, they must shine. The shooting star imagery returns, suggesting resilience through all adversity. The closing lines urge the listener not to “melt” with the morning sun, but to remain unwavering and radiant—carrying their light from darkness into dawn.
