chase the stars (feat. Saimsoul)

In 'chase the stars (feat. Saimsoul),' Solene Velvet explores the poignant and often heart-wrenching choice between pursuing one's dreams and maintaining personal relationships. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's internal struggle as they chase their ambitions 'all across the galaxy and Mars,' a metaphor for the vast and often isolating journey of seeking fame and success. The repeated line, 'Because I have to choose, to be a star or you,' underscores the central conflict of the song, highlighting the difficult decisions that come with the pursuit of greatness.

The imagery of stars falling 'blindingly' and the artist being 'all alone in the dark' on a stage captures the loneliness that can accompany fame. Despite the 'majestic' chase of dreams, the artist finds themselves in a 'daze,' suggesting a sense of disorientation and loss. The 'bittersweet' taste of fame is emphasized, indicating that success is not as fulfilling without the presence of a loved one. This duality of emotions is a common theme in songs about fame, where the glittering allure of stardom often comes at the cost of personal happiness.

The metaphor of a rose blooming and then starting to die further illustrates the transient nature of fame and the sacrifices made along the way. The choice between 'a star or you' is not just a personal dilemma but a universal one, resonating with anyone who has had to balance their ambitions with their relationships. Solene Velvet's soulful delivery, combined with Saimsoul's emotive contribution, adds depth to the song, making it a powerful reflection on the cost of chasing dreams and the value of love and companionship.
