Re-Write The Stars

I don't know, but how many times I've felt like being buried alive in the pantheon of Love. Where emotions run high, six feet deep, in the darkness of the coffin, six feet under the memories ...

I don't know, but how many times I've just wanted to re-write the stars, re-right all the wrongs, re-feel the paradise of bliss, re-imagine that death’s not knocking on my living hell’s door.

Who doesn’t believe that stars hold our destinies and that everything that happens to us is written in the stars? Rewriting the stars would just mean that we would change our destiny according to our own needs and requirements, if we could. Because I need you, because I require you!

How are you available to fulfill all my needs and requirements? How can we be in love with each other trying to defy the destiny separating us? How am I gonna dig myself out of this grave to get to you? How are you gonna feel when I dead serious and kind of risen show up in front of you?

What if it's already in the stars? It’s determined, preordained, just something that’s meant to be. You can't change fate, can we? Then we'll rewrite the stars. The most dangerous men are the ones with nothing left to lose.

So here’s my message from the pantheon of Love, where I’m buried alive. Where emotions run high, six feet deep, in the starlit darkness of the coffin, six feet under the Beautiful memories ...

“Rewrite the Stars, a touching love song from the soundtrack of The Greatest Showman I’ve never been or even wanted to, teaches us that love is something that should not be given up on, and cannot be changed according to other people's opinions or feelings. I hope you learn …”

The Greatest Showman | "Rewrite The Stars" Lyric Video | Fox Family Entertainment

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep sayin' our hands are tied
You claim it's not in the cards
And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?

What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

You think it's easy
You think I don't wanna run to you
But there are mountains
And there are doors that we can't walk through
I know you're wondering why because we're able to be
Just you and me within these walls
But when we go outside, you're gonna wake up and see
That it was hopeless after all

No one can rewrite the stars
How can you say you'll be mine?
Everything keeps us apart
And I'm not the one you were meant to find
It's not up to you
It's not up to me
When everyone tells us what we can be
How can we rewrite the stars?
Say that the world can be ours
Tonight

All I want is to fly with you
All I want is to fall with you
So just give me all of you
It feels impossible
It's not impossible
Is it impossible?
Say that it's possible

How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
'Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours

You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and my hands are tied

Mama take this badge from me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark too dark to see
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That cold black cloud is comin' down
Feels like I'm knockin' on Heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door
Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

"You just better start sniffin' your own rank subjugation jack
'Cause it's just you against your tattered libido
The bank and the mortician, forever man
And it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive"

Knock-knock-knockin' on Heaven's door

Bella Poarch - Living Hell (Official Music Video)

You know I don't believe in ghosts or
Letting people close
I'm good at letting go
You kiss my lips until they're colder
Think you're in control, but
I should let you know

Well, the good guys don't always get the glory
Can't you see the warning signs?

I can make your life a livin' hell
If I wanted to, wanted to
Wish this was a love you never felt
And you know it's true, know it's true
Love me, love me, trust me with that heart of yours
Feels so heavy lying on the bedroom floor
I can make your life a livin' hell
If I wanted to, wanted to

Chew you up and spit you out
And still you come around
So I can watch you drown
Hate when you tell me that you'll wait
Like you think that I could change
When I've always been this way

Well, the good guys don't always get the glory
Can't you see the warning signs?

I can make your life a livin' hell
If I wanted to, wanted to
Wish this was a love you never felt
And you know it's true, know it's true
Love me, love me, trust me with that heart of yours
Feels so heavy lying on the bedroom floor
I can make your life a livin' hell
If I wanted to, wanted to

I'm haunted by the words you say
When I can't say that I feel the same
And that you'll always be alone
And baby, you should
I'm only gonna ghost

I can make your life a livin' hell
If I wanted to, wanted to (if I wanted to)
Wish this was a love you never felt
And you know it's true, know it's true (and you know it's true)
Love me, love me, trust me with that heart of yours (love me)
Feels so heavy lying on the bedroom floor
I can make your life a livin' hell
If I wanted to, wanted to (if I wanted to)

“Defying Destiny with Love: An Analysis of 'Rewrite The Stars' by Zendaya and Zac Efron

Challenging Predetermined Destiny Forbidden Romantic Love Societal Expectations and Norms

The song 'Rewrite The Stars', performed by Zendaya and Zac Efron, is a powerful duet that explores the theme of challenging fate and societal expectations for love. The song is featured in the musical film 'The Greatest Showman', which is set in the 19th century and tells the story of P.T. Barnum's creation of the circus and the lives of its star attractions. The lyrics express a deep yearning for a forbidden love, one that seems to be hindered by external forces and circumstances beyond the control of the two lovers.

The opening lines of the song set the stage for a conversation between two individuals who are clearly in love but feel constrained by 'the cards' that fate has dealt them. The metaphor of 'rewriting the stars' suggests a desire to take control of one's destiny and to change what is supposedly preordained. This idea of challenging destiny is a common theme in literature and music, often representing the human struggle against the constraints of society or the universe. The song's chorus is a powerful call to action, urging the lovers to defy the odds and be together, despite what anyone else says.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the complexities of their situation, acknowledging the 'mountains' and 'doors' that stand in their way. These obstacles could be interpreted as societal norms, class differences, or other barriers to their union. The second verse, sung by Zendaya's character, reflects the harsh reality that their love might be 'hopeless after all' when faced with the judgment of the outside world. However, the bridge of the song shifts to a more hopeful tone, questioning the impossibility of their love and suggesting that with enough determination, they might be able to change their fate. The song ends with a bittersweet acceptance that, although they want to be together, there are forces at play that keep them apart, symbolized by the phrase 'my hands are tied'.

Overall, 'Rewrite The Stars' is a beautifully crafted song that captures the essence of a love that is willing to challenge the very fabric of destiny. The duet between Zendaya and Zac Efron adds a dynamic and emotional layer to the performance, making it a standout piece in 'The Greatest Showman' soundtrack. The song resonates with anyone who has ever faced obstacles in the pursuit of love, encouraging listeners to believe in the power of their own will to overcome the odds.”
