Emma Freeman - Stars On My Ceiling
I never really say what i mean
I just keep the words locked safe in my head
I still have tape marks on the wall from last halloween
Can't remember the last time i was eager to get out of bed
★ verse 2 ★
Always scared my trunk’s not empty when i drive home at night
But i never check before i leave
If there were ever someone there, i wouldn't put up a fight
Just start to question them on their beliefs
★ chorus ★
At night, i look up at the stars
But they're just the stick-on ones on my ceiling
Always trying to figure what’s wrong with me
To explain the things i'm feeling
The older i get
The more i know that i don't know anything
★ verse 3 ★
Last night i crouched down on my knees while in the shower
The water flooded over my head
Wanted to remind myself what it was like to feel smaller
To see the world from my old perspective instead
★ chorus ★
At night, i look up at the stars
But they're just the stick-on ones on my ceiling
The more i try to figure out what's wrong with me
The worse i start revealing
The closer i get
The more i know that i don't know anything
★ bridge ★
Will i ever be happier?
Will i ever be happy?
★ chorus ★
At night, i look up at the stars
But they're just the stick-on ones on my ceiling (will i ever be)
Always trying to figure out what's wrong with me (happy)
To make sense of what i’m feeling
The older i get
The more i know
That i don’t know anything at all
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe song opens with a sense of reluctance to express true emotions, with the singer keeping their thoughts hidden away. The imagery of tape marks on the wall and a lack of motivation to get out of bed sets the tone for a feeling of stagnation and introspection.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their fears and insecurities, questioning their own beliefs and actions. The chorus brings to light the singer's longing to understand themselves better, as they gaze at the stars on their ceiling in search of answers.
The bridge poses the universal question of whether true happiness can ever be achieved, adding a layer of vulnerability to the song. Ultimately, "Stars On My Ceiling" is a raw and honest reflection on the complexities of self-discovery and acceptance, leaving the listener with a sense of contemplation and empathy.
