The Weeknd Starry Eyes

In “Starry Eyes,” The Weeknd is discussing a common theme of Dawn FM–caution in regard to love–in light of a special girl.

More specifically, Abel’s dream girl–one who he has been enamoured with since he was “young and alone in the world,–has gone through struggles of her own, ones which have left her “shattered.”

Despite the previous tracks on the album demonstrating that The Weeknd has learnt of the dangerously consuming nature of love through experience, he seems ready to dive into a relationship with his dream girl to help her emotionally. Evidently, he cares about her poignantly to do so despite his learnt fears of love.

Lyrics

I only met you in my dreams before
When I was young and alone in the world
You were there when I needed someone
To call my girl
And now you’re my reality
And I wanna feel you close
But you’re defeated, baby
Broken, hurtin’, sufferin’ from a shattered soul
Oh woah, a shattered soul
Oh, oh-oh

Let me be there
Let me be there for your heart
Let me be there
I can be there ’til you’re whole
You weren’t touched by a man in so long
‘Cause the last time, it was way too strong
Let me be there
Let me be there for your heart
Let me love you
Let me love you like you need
And I’ll make it
Make it my responsibility
I’ll be there every step of the way, uh
I’ll get you back on your feet
Let me love you
Let me love you like you need
And you can kick me
Kick me to the curb
It’s okay, baby
I promise that I felt worse
Back then, I was starry eyed
And now I’m so cynical
Baby, break me
Kick me to the curb
Oh woah
Mm-mm
