Stars

The song 'Stars' by Sussie 4 delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the confusion that accompanies it. The lyrics express a deep sense of longing and questioning, as the protagonist grapples with the disparity between their feelings and the reality of their relationship. The repeated questioning, 'If you loved me, so why do I feel like this?' highlights the internal conflict and the pain of feeling unloved despite the other person's professed affection.

The imagery in the song is poignant, with references to being unable to let go and feeling like one is spiraling downwards. This suggests a sense of entrapment and helplessness, as the protagonist feels consumed by their emotions. The lines 'In my head, in my room, in my mirror when I look, I see only you' depict an obsession that permeates every aspect of their life, indicating that the love they feel is all-encompassing and inescapable.

The plea in the final lines, 'Hold my hand, hold my faith, never let me go away. Please stop me!' underscores the desperation and the need for reassurance. It reflects a desire for stability and a fear of abandonment, which are common themes in songs about unrequited love. Sussie 4's musical style, which often blends electronic beats with emotional lyrics, enhances the sense of urgency and emotional depth in 'Stars', making it a compelling exploration of the complexities of love and longing.
