about

"star struck" is the emotional high point of honest dan's EP "hopeless romantic" with jaunty fuzzed-out guitars, unrelenting drums, and powerful yet playful lyrics.

as is typical of dan's style, the song has several layers of meaning; being simultaneously about parasocial relationships, hopefulness for future feelings, and the complex web of emotions one goes through in the early stages of infatuation.

lyrics

i've been told my libran tendencies
let romance get the best of me
blinded faith in what i see
magnify each fleeting glimpse of love

star struck
smitten by a tune
dispositions i desire
projected on to you
star struck
dream and drift away
feels like you're my truest friend
but i met you yesterday

i've been holding on to every dream
hoping they'll enlighten me
is it waste to think so blissfully?
clouding and polluting
twisting and diluting
how i touch

star struck
dream and drift away
feels like you're my truest friend
but i met you yesterday
star struck
dozing through the day
flinching at tomorrow sun
but down when it's away

~solo~

set my sights
as far as i can see
drifting past the meaning of it all
pointed at the sky
for one whom i would fall
hoping that the rain will catch me

star struck
never as it seems
drifting to the other side
or floating in between
