Lyrics
They got the luxury money can buy
Reference to the abundant wealth and material possessions they possess
They're living like kings and queens
Describes their opulent lifestyle akin to royalty
The whole world's crying whenever they cry
Implies that the world sympathizes with them during difficult times
They smile when they smile at scenes
Suggests that their happiness is contagious and admired by others
What's left of all that glamour and glory
Reflection on the faded allure and splendor of their lifestyle
You find behind the doors in hollywood
Indicates the hidden realities behind the glamorous façade in Hollywood
Living like a moviestar
Expresses the theme of living life in a manner reminiscent of movie stars
Tell me how they really are
Asking for a genuine portrayal of their true selves
Prisoners of roles
Suggests that they are constrained by societal expectations and predefined roles
Until their final curtains fall
Implies that they are bound by these roles until their life's end
Living like a moviestar
Reiteration of the theme of living a life akin to movie stars
I don't think i go too far
The singer questions the appropriateness of this lifestyle
If i say they're lonely after all
Suggests that despite their outwardly glamorous lives, they may be lonely
Too much of everything
Commentary on excesses and the downside of having too much
Too much to choose
Indicates the overwhelming abundance of choices they face
They finally lose control
Suggests a loss of control as a consequence of excess
Crime and insanity, scandals and booze
References to criminal activities, mental instability, scandals, and alcohol abuse
They're dying 'fore getting old
Implies a premature demise before experiencing old age
What's left of all that glamour and glory
Repeats the idea of faded glamour and glory in Hollywood
You find behind the doors in hollywood
Reiterates the contrast between the public image and private reality
Living like a moviestar
Restates the theme of living a life resembling that of movie stars
Tell me how they really are
Asks for an authentic portrayal of their true selves once again
Prisoners of roles
Emphasizes the confinement within predefined roles
Until their final curtains fall
Reiterates the idea of being confined by roles until their life's end
Living like a moviestar
Repeats the theme of living a life like movie stars
I don't think i go too far
Reiterates the singer's skepticism about the appropriateness of this lifestyle
If i say they're lonely after all
Restates the possibility of loneliness despite their glamorous lives
Living like a moviestar
Continues the theme of living life in a manner reminiscent of movie stars
Tell me how they really are
Reiterates the desire to know the true selves of these individuals
Prisoners of roles
Emphasizes the ongoing confinement within predefined roles
Until their final curtains fall...
Repeats the idea of being confined by roles until their life's end
