star(e)s
im repeatedly listening to How six songs collide. it's on loop. and has been on loop for an eternity. not everything can run a whole length and bring u back to the beginning. not everything's a cycle. a life cycle is an oxymoron in itself. life is never circular. because we measure life in time, and time is a one-way route.
i feel like taking the whole song of the rainbow connection and replacing all the questions in the song about rainbows with stars.
"why are there so many songs about stars.. and what's on the other side?"
"who said that every dream would be heard and answered when wished on the morning star?"
"what's so amazing that keeps us star-gazing, what do we think we might see?"
humans are obsessed with stars. from young we get brainwashed with the song "twinkle twinkle little star" we wish upon stars; shooting or non-shooting. when we learn to draw various shapes we get preoccupied with perfecting the shape of a star and we search far and wide for the best way to draw a star. 2 overlapping triangles. one continuous line having sharp bends at 4 ends and forming e last pointy end when the start meets the end. or jus one continuous line with 5 pointy ends. (trust me, the last method is the hardest)
what is an alternative name for a celebrity? A star. a star has too often, far too often, been used as a metaphor due to it's shiny, brilliantly bright, far-fetched and unreachable qualities. Humans describe a celebrity as a star. they describe their loved ones as stars and swear to fetch the real star up in the sky, just for them. They admire starfishes because it's the only attainable replacement for a star on land.
after we've conquered the moon, soon we'll move on to stars. Oh! We're having our lunch at The Star cafe? Care to join?
stars eventually just boil down to dust.. so something so brilliant, so bright... everything's just a disguise? you're no big deal. you're just a...
plainoldjanetoldastoryboutamanwhowastooafraidtoflysoneverdidland,
so tell me did you fall for a shooting star? one without a permanent scar?
... and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there?
stars are illusions. stars. stars. stars... how i wonder what you are. stars stares. up above the world so high... *stares at stars*...
