Also, let's take this relationship to a new level (alluding to both a physical and emotional connection, but the physical connotation seems to be to be the predominant wish which gives this song a sexy and seductive feel). The first part, 'raise the bar': After the let down of the previous love, let's raise the bar to expect good things. This sentence is really cool because it has a lot of play on words. "So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars" So basically, they've both gone through a previous love and loss, gave up on love, and now have found someone who they are undeniably, and mutually attracted to. Denying has an active connotation, where as 'giving up' paints a picture of hopelessness and disillusionment. They can't deny their nature of being attracted to each other, this is why I think 'give up' was a great choice of words. They have loved and lost, but they survived it all, and now here they are together. Which probably makes it more exciting for the both of them. He probably gave up on love and convinced himself that he would never love another again. I think this line is what shows that his last break up must have been devastating to him. "We've come too far to give up who we are" The force of love 'beginning,': since earlier it said all ends with beginnings insinuates that their was a previous love that most likely ended in much hurt and devastation (as insinuated in the next line) One cannot help falling in love, the planet cannot help itself from being pulled toward the sun. The force insinuates a force of nature. We are alive because a star exploded, and out of that explosion life was formed. However, the atoms that make up the physical universe, including our planet, were created from the previous death of an exploding star. This is stressing the previous statement (giving evidence to 'all') The planet spins because of a gravitational force or attraction to the sun. consists of cyclical patterns death and regeneration like the phoenix. All - everything- life, the universe, love, etc. In Greek mythology, the phoenix is a bird that bursts into flames upon death and is reborn from its ashes. The two words are pretty much interchangeable in this song.
My InterpretationThe song is about Lust and Love. (We're up all night to get (lets get funked again) So let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars
