Star (Romanized) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
柊に咬む月
燻されて 拾う種に
祈り芽が成る
回る日の煌
陽気立つ温度が
胸がもう騒ぐ
あぶない季節

[Chorus]
君をずっと待ってた
此処でずっと待ってた
春は無駄を連れ
いのちは輝いた
花が咲き舞っては
影は美を創った
変わるこの星で
始を手に

[Verse 2]
海霧の向こうに
飛び乗って 笑う旅に
雲が流れる
愛と塵よ
重なれ盆棚
胸が高鳴る
醒めない季節

[Chorus]
君をずっと待ってた
此処でずっと待ってた
夏が雨露をくれ
いのちは輝いた
花が咲き舞っては
影は美を創った
焼けるこの星で
詩を手に

[Bridge]
瞼色 どの空も
涙は量子
僕らは
ただ いて
満ちるまま

[Chorus]
君をずっと待ってた
此処でずっと待ってた
秋が恋を告げ
いのちは輝いた
花が咲き舞っては
影は美を創った
塞ぐ冬を開け
私を手に
好きを源に
君をずっと持ってた
此処にずっと持ってた
終わるこの場所で
わたしは輝いた
花が咲き舞っては
影は美を創った
生きるこの星で
死を手に

Star Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In the opening lines, Gen Hoshino introduces a surreal nighttime image where the moon bites into holly, a plant often symbolizing protection. The act of picking up smoked seeds suggests nurturing fragile beginnings in a harsh environment. The verse hints at anticipation as warmth begins to rise, causing his heart to stir. The arrival of a dangerous season signals emotional turbulence, perhaps the kind sparked by the reawakening of hope or desire. This sets the tone for the song’s exploration of yearning and transformation.

[Chorus]
This first chorus reveals that Hoshino has been waiting endlessly for someone, both emotionally and physically rooted in place. The mention of spring bringing “waste” paradoxically highlights renewal through letting go. Life shines brightly even in the presence of that which is discarded. Blossoming flowers and dancing petals become a metaphor for fleeting beauty, while shadows—often seen as negative—are reframed as creators of beauty. The final line speaks to beginnings forged within change, suggesting that the chaos of transformation is necessary to grasp something new.

[Verse 2]
The second verse shifts the setting to a foggy sea, with Hoshino leaping into a joyous journey beyond its veil. The imagery of moving clouds represents the passage of time or emotional shifts. The merging of love and dust at a ceremonial altar evokes a blending of the sacred and mundane, perhaps referencing ancestral memory or the ephemeral nature of affection. His heart beats louder, signaling excitement and emotional awakening. Unlike the “dangerous” tone of the first verse, this season refuses to fade—marking a period of vivid, lingering presence.

[Chorus]
This chorus reflects the summer season, where rain and dew nourish life. Again, Hoshino emphasizes that even through elements like rain—often symbolic of sadness—life glows. The repetition of flowers blooming and shadows creating beauty reinforces the song’s core duality. The “burning” planet introduces a sense of urgency or environmental fragility, yet he grasps poetry from it—suggesting that art and meaning can emerge from even destructive or painful circumstances.

[Bridge]
Here, the focus turns inward. Hoshino reflects on eyelid-colored skies and tears described as “quanta,” framing emotions in scientific, almost metaphysical terms. The line “We just are” emphasizes presence over action. This bridge suspends time, offering a moment of stillness and acceptance—an emotional reset before the final transformation.

[Chorus]
In this final chorus, autumn becomes the season of confession, where love is declared, and life continues to glow. As before, flowers and shadows carry their dual symbolism. The transition to winter suggests emotional closure, yet it’s paired with an opening—the invitation to take his hand. Declaring “liking” as a source (or “gen”) hints at self-recognition or naming love as the origin of all things. The repetition of holding onto someone and shining in a place that’s ending feels like a farewell woven with fulfillment. Even in death, he claims life—highlighting the eternal interplay between beginnings and ends on this living star.
