Track nhạc thứ 16 "Buy the Stars" là một bản Pop Ballad nhẹ nhàng nhưng cũng không kém phần du dương. Bài hát thể hiện các chủ đề về tự do, quyền sở hữu và bản sắc. Nhân vật chính trong bài hát mua một ngôi sao trên bầu trời đêm và lầm tưởng rằng mình có thể sở hữu nó và biến nó thành của riêng mình.
Phần điệp khúc nhấn mạnh sự cần thiết phải nhận ra rằng không phải ai hay bất cứ thứ gì cũng thuộc về chúng ta, cho dù chúng ta có cố gắng đến đâu. Hình ảnh ẩn dụ về việc mua ngôi sao đóng vai trò như một ví dụ về việc chúng ta thường cố gắng kiểm soát thế giới xung quanh một cách phù phiếm, bao gồm cả người khác, và điều này cuối cùng không thay đổi con người chúng ta.
Bài hát khuyến khích người nghe tìm kiếm sự tự do và bình yên trong chính mình, thay vì dựa vào của cải vật chất hay sự kiểm soát người khác.
You bought a star in the sky tonight
Because your life is dark and it needs some light
You named it after me, but I'm not yours to keep
Because you'll never see that the stars are free
Oh, we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well
All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
And still, you'd like to think you know me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all of the stars
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
You bought a star in the sky tonight
And in your man-made dark
The light inside you died
Oh, we don't own our heavens now
We only own our hell
And if you don't know that by now
Then you don't know me that well
All my life I've been so lonely
All in the name of being holy
And still, you'd like to think you own me
You keep buyin' stars
And you could buy up all the stars
But it wouldn't change who you are (Who you are)
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
Yeah, you know only how to own me
You know only how to own me
You're buying stars to shut out the light
We come alone, and alone we die
And no matter how hard you try
I'll always belong in the sky
(You could buy up all the stars)
(But it wouldn't change who you are)
(You're still living life in the dark)
(It's just who you are)
And you could buy up all of the stars
But it wouldn't change who you are
You're still living life in the dark
It's just who you are
It's just who you are
It's who you are, it's who you are
It's who you are, it's who you are
It's who you are, it's who you are
It's who you are, it's who you are
