The lyrics convey the idea that everyone has their own unique qualities and talents that make them special, like a "star painted with a left hand." The protagonist encourages the listener to embrace their individuality and understand their "true uniqueness" is beautiful. The verses describe the loneliness and exhaustion that can come with feeling like an outsider, but the chorus offers hope and affirmation. The chorus reminds the listener that they are someone worth noticing, even if they are currently overlooked or underestimated. The chorus repeats the message that the listener is "a star" and "a true uniqueness" that is beautiful. The bridge suggests that the path to self-discovery isn't always easy or straightforward, but it is worth pursuing. The "autograph written in steps" and "drawing sketched in clumsy steps" may represent the journey of personal growth and the imperfections that come with it. The final chorus reminds the listener that beauty can arise from even the harshest circumstances, symbolized by the "flower" that can bloom "between the frozen cracks" of winter. The closing post-chorus emphasizes that the listener is a "celebrity" in the eyes of the protagonist, and that their uniqueness and beauty are worth recognizing. Written by SongTell See less
