Starseed Lyrics
[Interlude]
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmm, nah
Mmm, yeah
[Verse 1]
Well, I let go of the world that was holding
A passenger that could not fly
In search of souls
In search of somethin'
Let it go and let it slide
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When I find out what went on
I'll bring it back, but it won't be easy
They won't believe how a man, he could drown
In a starseed, starseed
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I hoped to find why the world wasn't glowing
It's darker as we end this ride
I've fallen back under the equator
We're back inside, we're back inside
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mmm, so real
Ooh oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
When I find out what went on
I'll bring it back, but it won't be easy
They won't believe how a man, he could drown
In a starseed, starseed
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Interlude]
[Outro]
It's all or nothing, nothing
But I found out what went on
I'll bring it back, but it won't be easy
They won't believe the man, he could
But I'd choose starseed over nothing, nothing
But I found out what went on
I'll bring it back, but it won't be easy
They won't believe the man, he could
But I'd choose starseed over nothing, nothing. nothing
Mmm, alright
Starseed over
Starseed over

What did Our Lady Peace say about "Starseed"?
Raine Maida told Billboard:
We really liked [“Starseed”] but we didn’t love it. I liked the message of it and I liked where it was lyrically, and as a song it felt good, but for whatever reason at that point we just felt it was too poppy. Not a sellout, but it didn’t have the kind of depth the othe...
