Without the Stars

This is another song by Basshunter that I've loved since the moment I heard it, but I only just looked up the English translation and now I love it even more.

Without the stars what would happen with us then?
Without anything that shines on the sky what would I rest on then?
Without the stars, say how would we manage then?
Without anything that brighten up our way
Whom would we rely on?
As we may not forget that all stars are life
They are the life as we are, although they live in another world
The world of feelings, where all souls have their place
In heaven, in life's dream palaces,
Without the stars
Without the stars what would our hearts believe in?
Without that what helps us to see, how would then our love grow?
Without the stars could you love me then?
Would you then feel safe when I'm close to you?
As we may not forget that all stars are life
They are the life as we are, although they live in another world
The world of feelings, where you and me can find peace, will never end, I hope
Above the world we live in. Without the stars.

I enjoyed to find the real meaning behind this song. I just love listening to songs in different languages and then finding their translations. It's great I think. To find that, even though it's a different language from a different country and from people thousands of miles away, these songs are just like those we listen to every day. All of these songs of love, lost love, worry, hope, faith, and others. It's amazing to me that all people want the same things, but even more amazing still that everyone has their different way of approaching these desires. Some take the romantic road. Some take a road of lust. Some take a road of hurt. It all depends on the person.
Anyways, what would we be without the stars? Such things that cause us to wonder about the universe. Things that are beyond beauty. This reminds me of a poem I once wrote. I guess I'll post it on here too.

Oh star that shines
In the dark night sky
So beautiful
So immortal
You keep me longing, wanting
Only to be beside you.
How do you stay so beautiful?
How do you keep everyone
Wondering about you?
We wonder, not only of your beauty,
But of how we could, one day,
Be as beautiful as you.
We want to be loved as much,
Sometimes more, than you.
We try day by day,
And when we think we've done it,
We look to see you've beaten us once more.
We want to be the twinkle in his eye,
But if we look deep enough,
We only see you.
Though we aren't as beautiful,
We can be loved,
Whereas you can only be admired.
You may be deep in his eye,
But when I look deeper,
I see only myself

I figured I would talk about the stars. Why not?
