As for the lyrics…why do I dig myself into these holes? (My head hurts just thinking about it 😆😂😜)
Lol, buuut anyway, this song can be taken a lot of ways, and I mostly just use it for a fun, but here’s the main parts that stand out to me in this song and my take on it:
It’s kind of a society vs you song, and one of the biggest themes is to dare to be different and go against the flow.
I don’t think all rules are bad, and most really are made with your best interests in mind so it’s good to follow them, however to me it’s more about the unsaid (or said) expectations people put on you, and trying to copy and live like everyone else rather than trying things your own way and appreciating what makes you different.
Albert Einstein once said “If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” We all have different strengths and there are many ways to be smart and respected aside from just solving worksheets or staying current with trends. Another keyword in that quote is "believe". The fish is actually very talented, but because it's measuring itself against an impossible standard, it feels dumb. Have you ever done that? Give yourself time - there’s so much comparison that goes on - now more than ever, and if you don’t meet certain milestones at certain times you may get discouraged or feel like you’re not as good as other people, but you’re a lot more capable than you think. 💖 Celebrate your progress and don’t hold yourself to the expectations other people try to force on you.
One of my favorite lines is “My world’s on fire. How ‘bout yours? That’s the way I like it and I’ll never get bored.” Now of course, I don’t like the fact that the world is in turmoil, but I think we can all relate to feeling like the world is getting out of hand, and to me this part of the song is like in Stormyweather 2 when they’re suddenly faced with a Volcano and the earth hurtling toward the sun. (If that’s not stressful I don’t know what is! 🤯😬😉) But instead of letting their fears and shock get the better of them, Ladybug and Cat Noir shrug it off, make the most of it, and choose to face the challenge head on and fight with courage and a positive outlook. (Something we can all try to do💫)
“All that glitters is gold” - this line was always intriguing to me, because…it’s obviously not true, and is a twist on the phrase “all that glitters is not gold” and how we can’t just take things based on appearances. It makes me think kind of how we look at all the flashy things advertisers and celebrities show off and we think by getting more things or achieving a certain status we’ll finally have it all and be satisfied, but that is just a trick of appearances and real “gold” or most fulfilling things in life are matters of the heart not the outside.
“Only shooting stars break the mold” - I love stars. They’re amazing and beautiful, and make me take a minute to pause the constant business of my mind and just be still and wonder at how big the universe is and how wonderful it is that God cares about little me. 💞🌃
That being said, all stars pretty much look the same to me. Cute little white dots that blanket the sky, with maybe five or six I can actually point out as different.
You might not remember the exact pattern of stars you saw one night or care to mention it to anyone in the future, but shooting stars are special. Why? Because they’re different. Unique, rare, and captivating, and guess what - you are too! ✨
Society tries to mold you and make everyone the same, telling you to “be trendy or be weird”, “follow a certain path or be a failure”, but what they don’t realize is they’re putting the “L” on their own forehead.
People can be really mean, and words do hurt, no matter how hard we try not to let them, but you were made to shine so don’t let anyone snuff out your light. Keep glowing and one day you’ll break the atmosphere! 💥🎉😉✨
Go for the moon and don’t let anyone bring you down. Keep running, keep playing, and have fun being yourself. 💖
Love you!
Always a friend,
Christina💕
P.s. Up till now when I just googled the lyrics I always thought the words were "the media men beg to differ..." so I'm just gonna leave that... 🤔😅
