“-Ok, so this song is
obviously about someone trying to make it big in the big city of lights, trying
to strike fame. Once again it’s one liners that give it a twist, and the twist,
once again, is uniquely analogous. And that allows me to point out what ‘star’,
in terms of the feedback symbolism means, having nothing to do with stardom.
It’s literally her personal symbol, you know that. And actually it was Bono who
ascribed it, something he started into in 1991, and made a specific handle with
‘Hold me, Thrill Me, Kiss me, Kill Me’ in 1995. It’s either star or moon and he
started both. Star is more the more personal of the two because of these two in
Bono’s nomenclature, moon is actually deriving from someone Else, while star is
just hers, and later becomes a name. It’s still being used heavily, and what it
forebodes here is arriving at a place where the reality of that personal
transcendence is visible and acknowledged, not hidden, and everyone being one
because we’re all connected in it on the same level (‘We Are All Made of Stars
– Moby). So ‘star’ connotes this new awareness we’re existing in that hasn’t
occurred in humans before, we shine as spiritual lights, and actually we’re
interacting as such.
