[Pre-Chorus]
The singer realizes life is temporary and wonders if it’s okay to pass through without leaving anything special behind, questioning whether small efforts can make a difference.

[Chorus]
Life feels urgent, and waiting isn’t an option. The singer wants to create something extraordinary while alive and refuses to accept a boring, unchallenging life. They feel a pure, bright connection to the world, like a light first noticed by the stars, representing their existence and potential.

[Verse 3]
The singer doesn’t need promises that others will understand later. Strong emotions emerge that they can’t share with anyone else, and they feel an unintentional closeness in expressing everything to one special person.

[Bridge]
The singer questions the value of simply surviving and resisting the flow of time. In a moment of exhaustion, they pause and look at the sky, realizing it hasn’t changed since their birth, reminding them of continuity and wonder.

[Chorus]
Time is too short to wait, so the singer pushes to make something remarkable in life. They reject mundane, uneventful moments and embrace the pure, vivid light of existence first seen by the stars, symbolizing their unique place in the world.
