about
As a music journalist, I must say that the lyrics you have presented are captivating and paint a vivid picture of the subject matter. The song seems to be about a woman who is the center of attention at a party, and the speaker is captivated by her presence. The use of astronomical metaphors such as "supernova" and "galaxy" add a layer of depth to the lyrics, giving the impression that this woman is larger than life and has a powerful impact on those around her.
The repetition of the phrase "So bright, you could see her shining in the night" serves as a memorable hook and reinforces the idea that this woman is a shining star. The use of the word "ferociously" to describe her burning presence is particularly effective, conveying the intensity of her impact on the speaker and others at the party.
The imagery of the speaker being caught up in the "gravity" of her galaxy is both romantic and cosmic, adding a layer of mystique to the lyrics. The repeated use of the phrase "I treat her so respectfully" suggests that the speaker is both drawn to and respectful of this powerful woman, perhaps hinting at a deeper emotional connection.
Overall, these lyrics show a great deal of poetic flair and use creative metaphors to convey a sense of awe and admiration for a captivating individual. With a strong melody and well-crafted instrumentation, this song could be a standout track in any artist's repertoire.
Friday night, half past ten
another round of shots for her and all her friends
She's burning bright and then theres no coincidence
She’s the star of every show until the party ends
Centre of attention
everybody’s in a spin
I've been caught up in the gravity
of this galaxy she's in
i try to think of what to say
i don’t know where i should begin
i say hello to her so cautiously
She's burning so ferociously
So bright
you could see her shining in the night sky
deep inside her eyes are beams of starlight
Theres so much more i want to discover
but She’s a supernova
You will feel the heat if she ever lets you close
the temperature will rise
it will grow and she knows
i got to be on my toes
to keep her next to me
i treat her so respectfully
this flame of such ferocity
i treat her so respectfully
i got to make an observation
the force is pulling me in
I've been caught up in the gravity
of this galaxy she's in
i try to think of what to say
i don’t know where to begin
i say hello to her so cautiously
She's burning so ferociously
So bright you could see her shining in the night
deep inside her eyes i see the starlight
She's a supernova
shining brighter than the stars
Doesn't matter where you are
she's burning it up
So bright
you could see her shining in the night
So bright
you could see her shining in the night
deep inside her eyes are beams of starlight
Theres so more i want to discover
but She's a supernova
shining brighter than the stars
doesn't matter where you are
