Owl City: Shooting Star Meaning

Shooting Star Lyrics

Close your tired eyes, relax and then
Count from 1 to 10 and open them.
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down,
but not this time.

Way up in the air, you're finally free, and you can stay up there, right next to me.
All this...

   This song basically says that in the you should always try your hardest, even though sometimes it can be difficult, and there will be times when hope seems lost, but you will succeed. What seems like the darkest hour can be your greatest opportunity to show just how bright you can shine.
