    Stars and love burn bright,
    Till they’re ready to die.
    The broken spend their nights,
    Staring at the sky.
    You, oh, you had a sad urge,
    To be wanted by fools.
    Welcoming girls that would be,
    Snoopin', troopin' enveloping your family jewels.
    You chose to grow your nose,
    'Cause deep down you knew I knew,
    You knew I knew, that I’d up and run quicker,
    than you could come
    They said I was too good for you.
    Wake up little Suzie,
    It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry.
    You spilled the beans in January,
    Timed it perfectly after your granny died.
    You knew I wouldn’t shoot a man when he was down,
    Well done Pinocchio you told a lie.
    I wouldn't take advantage of a cut up heart,
    You’re such a vulnerable type.
    You tell me "I’m so lonely,
    Won’t you hold me?
    Stars shine, only
    But it's only
    light.
    Oh, old light, it’s been dead,
    For a long time,
    Long, long time
    with time, time.
    Stars and love burn bright,
    Till they’re ready to die,
    The broken spend their nights,
    Staring at the sky.
    Now it's time to bury the hatchet and bury it deep
    you've a massive heart but you're a fucked up kid and we sow what we reap
    Woah, 'cause we grew up a solitary souls
    Sometimes it’s better to be on our own.
    I need time just to roam, roam, roam,
    Find a place I can call home.
    Love is like starlight,
    Even when a star dies.
    You can still see it shine,
    But it’s only old light.
    Oh, old light, it’s been dead,
    For a long time,
    time, time.
    with time, time.
    Stars and love burn bright,
    Till they’re ready to die.
    The broken spend their nights,
    Staring at the sky.
    Oh, If love enters your life,
    It leaves a stain inside the sky.
    And this will lead you to believe,
    That it is still alive.
    But it is just old light,
    Completing it's last flight.
    Across a velvet night,
    Stars burn bright till they die.
    love bites in the sky,
    Love is like starlight,
    love is starlight

It represents to me that love is always there, even when you cannot see it or feel it anymore, is always shining. Definetely a sad era, it was years ago lol. But i am happy that i sort of remind myself of seeing always the bright side of a broken heart

      I've always thought it's about cheating. The man is crying as he confesses to Marina (after his granny dies!), He uses the timing to hope she will not be mad at him as she isn't going to hurt him anymore than the death did...
      Of course stars are so far away, they could be dead by the time we are actually seeing their light. So Marina didn't see the relationship was dead while looking into it yet; just as we see the star as if it is alive, she saw their love as alive. Now she's wiser and sees that it has been dead for a long time (because he cheated/whatever event he fessed up to after his granny died).

      I'm thinking it might have been about her father since tfj era revolved around the relationship between him and her. Possibly, her father's mother died and he took it out on her out of grief and pain. And like what @Sadie Creel said about the stars, it was pretty obvious their father/daughter relationship was pretty dead.

    I would have so preferred this on the album instead of Rootless.

    Digne de Kate Bush ! Mais Marina me donne plus de chansons à aimer.

    One of the best songs in the entire world, if Billie Eilish sang this, people would eat it up sadly

    She sounds do different now. She lost a lot of her deeper tones

    I would have preferred Starlight on The Family Jewels over a song like The Outsider

      MarliesMega I'm not a big fan of Guilty. That's really the only song on TFJ I don't absolutely love :)

      It doesn't fit the TFJ theme tbh. I like it being unreleased

      MarliesMega But Numb is one of the best ones! I feel like we could have more of the unreleased demos, like this one, the actual Family Jewels song, or something else.

      MarliesMega I would love that. One for each era.
