Song Meaning of “TWINKLE TWINKLE (ロック・リーver.)(アニメサイズver.)” by Secret
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
This interpretation of the beloved children’s lullaby reimagines the song within a rock context. The protagonist seems to be feeling adrift in life, questioning the purpose of their existence and yearning to find themselves. Up in the sky, they spot a twinkling star, and the metaphor of light and hope stands out to them. This star is like a diamond, shining out of its darkness, giving the protagonist the motivation to go search for their own enlightenment.
The wish to discover their real self shines through the chorus, as they sing ‘Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder who I really are’. This expresses their desire for genuine inner growth and transformation, marking the start of a journey for which they don’t have a map and no-one to rely on but themselves.
The song is a lesson in finding hope, even in the depths of darkness, and how we can use it to take the first steps of a journey of self-discovery.
