Story Behind The Song
In the back of my mind I was thinking about the fall of the "hair bands" in the 80s and what it is like to rise, fall and then deal with the fall.
Song Description
Starboy once had a high from fame and adoration but time has passed on and he finds himself constantly out at night looking for a party or a high to remind him of what he used to feel.

Starboy turn your light down
The night is over
Are you homebound
Guess you got your mind set
Now you got your feet wet
Turn your light down
All night you?ll be moving
You got your driving music
Slow and groovin?
Guess you got your mack down
Takin? over your time
Turn your light down
CHORUS:
Cruisin? w/ nobody though a ghost town
You ain?t got a soul out there to hear you now
Didn?t know to call it when you had the choice
Ain?t nobody out there with the starboy
Starboy turn your light down
The night is over
Are you homebound
All night you?ll be moving
You got your driving music
Slow and groovin?
