Lies
Deceptive Dreams: Alphaville's Tale of Illusions and Fame
Lyrics
Baby
Expressing affection or endearment
What do I do
Seeking guidance or advice
Playing my tune for you
Creating music specifically for the listener
Just to get you in the mood
Setting the mood through music
Everybody's going to hollywood
Reference to the allure of Hollywood and fame
You're driving me mad
Causing frustration or annoyance
But I'm smiling to the crowd instead
Despite challenges, maintaining a positive appearance
A lot of money is at stake,
Significant financial interests involved
This is a hit and that's a fake
Distinguishing between genuine success and deception
This is what you mean to me
Expressing the importance of the listener
This is what they all should see
Advocating for true understanding by others
Make a make up in a foolish style
Superficially altering appearance in a silly manner
Telling the truth by making a big lie
Contradicting truth with a significant falsehood
When I come, I come but nothing's at ease
Arriving without achieving ease or comfort
Breaking up the whole is a modern disease
Breaking down societal norms is a contemporary issue
Maybe you think tomorrow's just a joke
Suggesting a dismissive attitude towards the future
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke
Emphasizing a repetitive and unserious nature
My love
Reiterating affection
Everything's an interview
Life feels like a constant interview or scrutiny
And nothing's really new
Nothing genuinely new or original
And everybody's looking for clues
Society is in search of answers or solutions
And you know what to do with a clue
Knowing how to handle or interpret clues
My love
Reiteration of affection
Get ready for the show
Preparing for a public performance or spectacle
They're waiting and they will never go
Audience anticipation for an enduring show
This night is just a go
The current moment is a facade or pretense
And it's only for show
Actions are for show rather than authenticity
Dig that deal and be a millionaire
Seeking lucrative opportunities and success
Drinking cocktails in the stratosphere
Indulging in luxury and extravagance
Getting jetlagged with my business friends in these supersonic wonderlands
Experiencing exhaustion with affluent associates
There's a flicker on the graphic display,
Observing a momentary glitch in a visual representation
First he's smiling then he's fading away
A transition from joy to disappearance
Maybe he thinks tomorrow's just a joke
Similar sentiment about the future as mentioned before
It's a joke after joke after joke after joke
Repetition of the unserious nature of life
