In this introspective piece, the artist explores the concept of authenticity and vulnerability. The lyrics reveal a struggle with presenting a facade, symbolized by "wings made of plastic," which suggests an artificial strength or freedom. The mention of silver masquerading as gold further underscores this theme of pretense. The protagonist feels misunderstood - seen as a shooting star from afar but up close, his flaws are evident. He grapples with societal expectations and the pressure to maintain an image that may not be real or sustainable. Ultimately, he confesses that both his wings and his persona are 'made up', indicating a desire for acceptance in his true form, devoid of any pretensions.
