Description
A bright, almost transparent track about wanting to be the perfect version of yourself - the one that people like, the one that is “right,” the one that can do everything as expected. But between the lines, there is a weariness from this rehearsal: trying, testing, adjusting, trying again.
This is a soundtrack for those who have ever felt “imaginary” - themselves, but only in draft form. A gentle melody, like the twinkling of a star, and a touch of self-irony in the lyrics, as if the author himself is smiling at his own efforts. And instead of drama, this results in a soft sadness mixed with a faint glimmer of hope: maybe the star will hear after all.
Lyrics and translation
Original
We could wish upon a star
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you, you, you will be a star
That I can adore from a far
It was a messy start with you (luminous)
It's all in fragments, you (luminous)
Still wish for everything with you (luminous)
I will practice for you (luminous), you (luminous, luminous)
I'ma practice, oh
I'll try your way
I think you want me to be that way
So I'ma practice to be your way
Let me Timothée C it that way
Try to act it, the things you like
And I'll tell you that I don't mind
That you need something I can't get right
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'm
I'm sorry, babe (sorry, babe)
I think that's the imaginary me
I'm sorry, babe
I think that's the imaginary me
I'm sorry, babe (sorry, babe)
What if that's the imaginary you
Thinking you're wanting me?
Yeah, I think that's the imaginary us
We could wish upon a star
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you, you, you will be a star
That I can adore from a far
We could wish upon a star
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you, you, you will be a star
That I can adore from a far
The pretty girlfriend you can hold, but
I see you shine with all the bros, adorable
But I want, kitchen floor, party too hard, run to the lake
Just to get naked, and swim, please
I'ma, I'ma, I'ma, I'm
I'm sorry, babe
I think that's the imaginary me
I'm sorry, babe
Yeah, I think that's the imaginary me
I'm sorry, babe
What if that's the imaginary you
Thinking you're wanting me?
Yeah, I think that's the imaginary us
Luminous
Luminous

We could wish upon a star
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you, you, you will be a star
That I can adore from a far (luminous)
We could wish upon a star
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you, you, you will be a star
That I can adore from a far
We could wish upon a star
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you will be a star
That I can adore from a far
We could wish upon a star (baby, you could be a star)
But I don't think it'll get us that far
Maybe you will be a star
That I can adore from a far
