Starfield - Everything To Me Lyrics
Lyrics
Worn out, wasted
Like a bird with broken wings
Sometimes grace reminds me
I don't get to be the king
But love, it washes over
Love, it pulls me closer
Love, it changes everything
So everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful to me
Sweetly, You release me
From the weight of what I've done
The trigger trips the hammer
But the bullets never come
And love, it washes over
Love is flowing closer
Love, it changes everything
So everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful to me
Love, like a landslide, like the wind
Spins around and me pulls me in
At it's unveiling I begin
Everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful
Even when the tears are falling
I don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing down
I can hear redemption calling
And everything is beautiful to me

Starfield - Everything to me
Meaning & Inspiration
Starfield's "Everything To Me," released on January 5, 2011, delves into a profound exploration of grace and transformation, offering a perspective that resonates deeply with themes found throughout Scripture. The song opens with a powerful image of brokenness, describing a state of being "worn out, wasted, like a bird with broken wings." This depiction of human frailty and inadequacy is reminiscent of Isaiah 40:31, where those who hope in the Lord find their strength renewed, soaring like eagles. The lyricist acknowledges a lack of inherent sovereignty, stating, "I don't get to be the king," a humbling recognition of our place before a higher power, much like David's lament in Psalm 131 where he sets aside his ambitions for a quiet trust in God.
The core of the song’s message lies in the overwhelming power of love, described as washing over and pulling the speaker closer, ultimately changing "everything." This concept of divine love as a transformative force is a cornerstone of Christian theology. John 3:16 famously declares God's love for the world, a love that offers salvation and a new beginning. The lyrics suggest that this love brings about a profound shift in perspective, making "everything beautiful, even when the tears are falling." This echoes the sentiment in Romans 8:28, that "in all things God works for the good of those who love him," implying that even in suffering, a divine purpose and beauty can be found. The idea of not needing a "miracle to believe" speaks to a faith that doesn't solely rely on extraordinary events but on the consistent, foundational truth of this love. It’s about finding redemption not in the absence of hardship, but within it, as the song states, "Even in the crashing down, I can hear redemption calling." This mirrors the prophetic promise in Jeremiah 29:11 of plans to prosper and not to harm, giving hope and a future.
The verse detailing release from past burdens, "Sweetly, You release me from the weight of what I've done," and the imagery of averted consequences, "The trigger trips the hammer, but the bullets never come," powerfully illustrates the concept of forgiveness and atonement. This directly aligns with passages like 1 John 1:9, which promises cleansing from all unrighteousness through confession, and Ephesians 1:7, speaking of redemption through Christ’s blood, the forgiveness of sins. The repeated assertion that love is "flowing closer" and the final embrace of love as a "landslide" that "spins around and pulls me in" powerfully conveys the enveloping and irresistible nature of God's affection. This unending, active pursuit of humanity is a hallmark of God's relentless grace, as evidenced in the parable of the lost sheep in Luke 15, where the shepherd rejoices over the one found. Through its honest portrayal of human struggle and its radiant celebration of divine love as the ultimate redeemer, "Everything To Me" offers an inspiring anthem of hope and transformation, finding beauty and peace even amidst life's trials by leaning into the unwavering love that makes all things new.
