Moonchaser Meaning & Lyrics (Starglow)
Kosuke Crane writes about darkness making stars shine brighter. The lyricist mentions ‘sweat dances before it dries’ as a metaphor for effort. STARGLOW tells us to chase shooting stars even when they seem unreachable.
Kurayami ga fukaku naru hodoThe deeper the darkness surrounds me,
Kagayaku hoshi mo aru darouthe brighter the stars are bound to shine.
Hito no me seken no koeThe prying eyes and voices of the world
Mou akirameru riyuu darakeare full of reasons for me to just give up.
Batebate ni nattatteEven if I end up completely exhausted,
Mada hashiru no wa nande dakkewhy is it that I’m still running?
Kawaku ma mo naku ase ga odoruMy sweat dances before it even has time to dry,
Nagareboshi no you nistreaking down just like a shooting star.
Te o nobaseba tooiIt feels so far when I reach out my hand,
Todoki sou mo nai noniand it doesn’t seem like I’ll ever touch it,
Fukanou sura mo itoshiibut I even love that impossibility.
Waraeba iiI just need to smile,
Ima soko ni yukubecause I’m on my way there now.
Nankai datte Do-Dat-DatAgain and again, Do-Dat-Dat,
