About This Track

'Star' by WILLOW is a 2015 alternative track from the album 'ARDIPITHECUS'. The lyrics take an earth-centred view, imagining the planet as a home and incubator of life, then moving through ideas of knowledge kept close to the body and earth, and the hope of raising others into a new state of consciousness. The repeated refrain of “Oh-oh-oh” gives it a ritual, chant-like lift, turning the environmental address into something closer to a collective awakening than a simple reflection.

"Star" is a track by WILLOW, from the album ARDIPITHECUS, released 11th December 2015. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about WILLOW.

Lyrics

Star

[Intro]

Earth, Our home

Incubator of life

Through our lines of life

Your recover the knowledge

Hidden with our bodies and earth, herself

To raise our brothers and sisters

To a new state of consciousness

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]

I move, you move

It's all the same we play these games

We play them, we don't think about it

Cause I'm done, I'm done

Trying to make it easier, make it easier

For you, because nature's a battle

And nobody ever handled it, the way our ancients did

[Chorus]

My universe

Just keeps on growin' and expandin'

But you are my star, you are the star

In my sky, I encompass your lights

I inhabit the divine, I

[Verse 2]

I finally got a piece of mind

And I'm holding on really tight

And time, time's, time's not waiting

For you and I, and I and I and I

I'm feeling, I'm feeling

That flight tonight

To the sky

Yea, I'm talkin' about a flight

Into the night, Into the night

Into the night

[Chorus]

My universe

Just keeps on growin' and expandin'

But you are my star, you are the star

In my sky, I encompass your lights

I inhabit the divine, I

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

My universe

Just keeps on growin' and expandin'

But you are my star, you are the star

In my sky, I encompass your lights

I inhabit the divine, I

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
