P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
Milli point two just to hurt you, ah
All red Lamb’ just to tease you, ah
None of these toys on lease too, ah
Made your whole year in a week too, yeah
Main bitch outta your league too, ah
Side bitch outta your league too, ah
Twenty racks a table, cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face, man, I love my baby, ah
You talkin’ money, need a hearing aid
You talkin’ ’bout me, I don’t see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
I switch up my cup, I kill any pain
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Look what you’ve done
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
Every day, a nigga try to end me, ah
Pull off in that Roadster SV, ah
Pockets overweight, gettin’ hefty, ah
Coming for the king, that’s a far cry, I
I come alive in the fall time, I
The competition, I don’t really listen
I’m in the blue Mulsanne bumpin’ New Edition
Twenty racks a table, cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face, man, I love my baby, ah
You talkin’ money, need a hearing aid
You talkin’ ’bout me, I don’t see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
I switch up my cup, I kill any pain
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Look what you’ve done
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
Legend of the fall, took the year like a bandit
Bought mama a crib and a brand new wagon
Now she hit the grocery shop lookin’ lavish
Star Trek roof in that Wraith of Khan
Girls get loose when they hear this song
A hundred on the dash get me close to God
We don’t pray for love, we just pray for cars
Twenty racks a table, cut from ebony
Cut that ivory into skinny pieces
Then she clean it with her face, man, I love my baby, ah
You talkin’ money, need a hearing aid
You talkin’ ’bout me, I don’t see the shade
Switch up my style, I take any lane
I switch up my cup, I kill any pain
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Look what you’ve done
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Look what you’ve done
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Look what you’ve done
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
I’m a motherfuckin’ starboy
Lagu “Starboy” oleh The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk punya makna yang kompleks dan simbolis. Lagu ini membahas ketenaran, transformasi diri, materialisme, dan konflik batin yang datang bersama kesuksesan.c
1. Transformasi Menjadi “Starboy”
I’m tryna put you in the worst mood, ah / P1 cleaner than your church shoes, ah
Lirik ini menunjukkan bahwa The Weeknd telah bertransformasi menjadi sosok baru yang lebih mewah, lebih sukses, dan lebih berkuasa.
“Starboy” sendiri adalah simbol dari persona baru yang penuh gaya, glamor, dan superioritas.
2. Kritik terhadap Materialisme & Budaya Pop
House so empty, need a centerpiece / Twenty racks a table cut from ebony
Lagu ini menyindir gaya hidup mewah dan dangkal yang identik dengan dunia selebritas — rumah besar, barang mahal, tapi kosong secara emosional.
3. Konflik Batin dan Kehampaan
Meskipun terlihat sukses dan glamor, lagu ini punya nada gelap. Ada rasa hampa dan kesepian di balik kemewahan, menunjukkan bahwa kesuksesan datang dengan harga yang mahal.
4. Penghancuran Masa Lalu
Dalam video klipnya, The Weeknd menghancurkan barang-barang dan simbol dirinya yang lama, menandai kelahiran “Starboy” — versi dirinya yang baru, lebih dingin, lebih tajam, dan lebih tak peduli.
Kesimpulan
“Starboy” adalah lagu tentang transformasi The Weeknd dari artis biasa menjadi ikon pop yang sukses, tapi juga menggambarkan konflik batin yang datang dengan ketenaran dan kekayaan.
Lagu ini menyoroti kontras antara citra luar yang glamor dan perasaan hampa di dalam, serta bagaimana industri musik bisa membentuk (dan merusak) identitas seseorang.
