Drop your location, she think she me or sum’ (Hendrix)
Put on my chains, now she think she me or sum’
She keep a Glock in her bag, she think …

[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to brush it off my …
Please don’t see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies1
Please see me reaching out for someone I can’t see2
Take my hand let’s see where we wake up tomorrow3
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand4
I’d be damned Cupid’s demanding back his arrow5
So let’s get drunk on our tears6 and
God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young7
It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run8
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?9
Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?10
Woe is me, if we’re not careful turns into reality11
Don’t you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow12
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer13
Turn the page maybe we’ll find a brand new ending14
Where we’re dancing in our tears and
God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same15
God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It’s hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
I thought I saw you out there crying
I thought I heard you call my name
I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?16
Adam Levine doesn’t want to be known as someone whose head is “in the clouds.”
On the other hand, Adam Levine doesn’t mind if people see him as someone who is pursuing meaning and purpose.
“Take my hand let’s see where we wake up tomorrow” holds adventurous connotations.
Adam Levine values momentary experience, even if its not something that pays off in the long run.
In mythology, Cupid is a character that shoots a “love arrow,” causing the recipients of the arrow to fall in love with the first person they see after being struck. Therefore, if Cupid “demands back his arrow,” it means that outside forces demand people to retract their love for one another.
“Let’s get drunk on our tears” simply refers to living life emotionally.
Adam Levine questions the nature of reality hear. What is time? What purpose do I have in the world? What is meaningful in this life? These are the kinds of questions for which Adam Levine wants answers.
Lambs are thought to be creatures that are only on the receiving end of victimization. Here Adam Levine refers to the forces of the powerful and the powerless that are always in conflict.
“Are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?” is a question Adam Levine asks about the role of human beings in the universe. Do any of us really know our purpose? Do we pretend to know our purpose because that confidence brings us comfort?
Adam Levine wonders whether human beings should be so myopic. Is there a deeper meaning to why we exist, or is our existence strictly scientific, a result of randomness?
“Woe is me…turns into reality” means that people cast self-fulfilling prophecies for themselves. If they believe their lives to be bad, they will live bad lives.
Adam Levine encourages listeners to “see the glass half full.
Adam Levine insists that the impossible can indeed happen.
Adam Levine believes change can occur.
This stanza conveys Adam Levine’s belief in God. Adam Levine refers to God’s feelings toward humanity here.
Adam Levine closes his song by returning to its main theme: whether human beings have a higher purpose or if nobody understands anything at all.

The obvious symbols in this song are stars, constellations, astrological signs (Aries and Leo). I think this is a story between a sheep and lion representing two lovers. Their love seemed ideal, as compatible together as Aries and Leo in horoscopes, but this song is more about separation of two lovers when they were young (“I thought I heard you out there crying”). The singer now wonders if there can be reconciliation, as he is also feeling regretful (“Just the same”).
The song poses a question: No matter the differences between two people, can it ever be that they can still love each other? As it alludes to the Bible, that a lion lie down with a lamb? (“Lion kiss a deer”) There is a similarity here.
The answer: Young love can have partners that are selfish, too idealistic, and believing in fate without compromising. Partners break off their relationship then and there.
Now when he is older, the singer realizes that the relationship he had before was great, and that a truly ideal lover is rare to find. If fate comes once in a million years, the YOUNG lambs who are “searching for meaning” are wasting their youth trying to find it. They are running from the differences (running from lions in the “hunting season”) when they should actually not run away, and make compromises.
In conclusion: Have a little give or compromise in love. Otherwise, it is the common mistake that people make, and become like lost stars. Only a few people will click 100%, like lucky stars in the sky belonging together in a constellation, and who have met fate. The numerous rest of us are just shining.
And does it really matter? You can barely tell apart a constellation from the rest of the stars. The lesson is that there is happiness in love even when it’s not perfect.

Wonderful interpretation of a beautiful song, and totally apt for the song as sung by Adam Levine later in the movie as he tries to reconnect with Keira Knightley. I’m trying to reconcile it with the original as sung by Knightley’s character in the movie – she wrote it as a birthday present for Adam while they were still madly in love.

By the song itself it’s already beautiful but finding it’s deeper meaning makes it more enticing. To find happiness in love is a choice. It entails work and compromise. Thank you!
