Star (Voice English Version)

LOONA's 'Star (Voice English Version)' is a dreamy pop song that delves into the intimate connection between two people, exploring the themes of love, longing, and the fear of loss. The lyrics convey a sense of deep emotional entanglement, where the protagonist feels the presence of their loved one in their mind and dreams, indicating a profound bond that transcends physical space. The repetition of 'I don’t wanna spend these hours with nobody else' emphasizes a desire for exclusivity in this connection, highlighting the intensity of their feelings.

The chorus, with its repeated references to 'starlight' and 'starlights,' uses celestial imagery to symbolize the brightness and beauty of the relationship. The stars serve as a metaphor for the light that the loved one brings into the protagonist's life, illuminating their world and guiding them through the darkness. The notion of 'us against the sunrise' suggests a desire to hold onto the night and the magical moments it brings, perhaps fearing that the daylight might end the dreamlike state they are in.

The song also touches on the vulnerability that comes with such an intense relationship. The lines 'we’re running, we’re running, it makes me nervous' and 'so close to perfect, it hurts to throw it away' express the anxiety and fear of imperfection or the potential end of the relationship. The protagonist is aware of how precious and fragile their connection is, and the thought of losing it is almost unbearable, leading to a sense of urgency to preserve what they have.
