Star
Andrew Ripp's song "Star" is a tender, reflective piece that appears to address someone who has passed away or is going through a difficult time. The lyrics invite the person to come out and play, recalling their humor and presence, while expressing deep love and the pain that love can bring. The repeated line about feeling love when everything is mixed up suggests embracing life's complexities. The song carries a gentle, comforting tone, acknowledging grief and the need for a moment to breathe, while affirming that love surrounds and holds us. It resonates with themes of love, loss, and hope, though it is not explicitly Christian in its language.
Come, come out and play
We miss your face
And the funny things you say
Be, just be yourself
And nothing else
Will push you away
And I feel so much love
When its all mixed up
It wraps itself around me
Star, we knew you well
Yea, all so well
And there's nothing left to hide
And I feel so much love
When its all mixed up
It wraps itself around me
If you need a moment to catch your breath
And a moment is all that's left
Leave your tears
And your pride
Cuz love hurts sometimes
I feel so much love
When its all mixed up
It wraps itself around me
And I feel so much love
When its all mixed up
It wraps itself around me
And I feel so much love
When its all mixed up
It wraps itself around me
Come, come out and play
We miss your face
And the funny things you say
