woow i love this analysis soo much. this makes so much sense with wildflower wildfire, i find it hard to believe she is still writing about barrie, but she could be carrying on with the metaphor even if she isn't actually writing about barrie -
Baby I, I, I, I've been runnin' on stardust
Alone for so long
I wouldn't know what hot fire was
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I'm better with you
It's strange, but it's true, darling
Not to turn into a wildfire
To light up your night
With only my smile and nothing that burns
Baby, I'll be like a wildflower
I live on sheer willpower
I'll do my best never to turn into something
That burns, burns, burns
Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns
and also with the metaphor of star drip, since stars are tiny little suns this could represent tiny bursts of happiness or inauthentic happiness -
Later than hospitals and still on my feet
Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry
And baby I, I've been running on star drip
IV's for so long
I wouldn't know how cruel the world was
the last lines could be about the lessons she learned with barrie, about allowing both moon and sun energies simultaneously -
It's you from whom I learn, learn, learn
It's you from whom I learn, learn, learn
