Movie Star
Embracing Imperfection: A Journey from Fame Desires to True Self Discovery
Lyrics
I wanna be popular, I wanna be a movie star,
Desire for popularity and to become a movie star.
I wanna be noticed, I wanna go far.
Expressing a wish to be noticed and to achieve great success.
I wanna make money, I wanna live in glamour,
Aspiration for wealth and a glamorous lifestyle.
I wann have a big house, I wanna drive a sports car.
Desire for material possessions like a big house and a sports car.
But you know that I don't got it, probably never have it
Acknowledging the lack of these desires.
God was playin' a joke when he made me
Suggesting a feeling of inadequacy and a perception of divine irony in creation.
I don't have any money, I don't even have a job
Admitting the absence of money and employment.
I'm not a movie star, and I'll probably never be.
Realization of not being a movie star and the unlikelihood of becoming one.
I wish I was a hunk, I wish I was muscular
Expressing a desire for physical attractiveness and muscularity.
Why can't I be good looking, why can't I be taller?
Questioning personal appearance and wishing for a better-looking self.
I wish my teeth were white, and wish my butt was tight
Desiring aesthetic improvements like white teeth and a tight butt.
I wish I had a big chest, you know I wish I was the best.
Expressing a wish to be the best and have a big chest.
And you know that I don't got it, probably never have it
Reiteration of the lack of these desired attributes.
God's got a sense of humor, just look at me.
Perceiving divine humor in personal shortcomings.
I'm not a hunk, I don't work out,
Acknowledging the absence of traits associated with a hunk or model.
I'm not a model, and I'll never be
Acceptance of not being a model and the unlikelihood of becoming one.
I think someone up above has put a curse on me.
Suspecting a curse or misfortune in personal circumstances.
I wish I had a friend, I wish I had a buddy
Desiring companionship and a friend.
Someone to care for me, someone to love me
Expressing a need for care and love from someone.
Well, just last week that wish came true
Revelation that the wish for a friend has been granted.
I used to be a geek, now I'm someone new.
Transformation from a geek to someone new.
I was down on my luck when He stole my heart
Recalling a moment of despair before a positive change.
He showed me I was somebody. He gave me a brand new start.
Acknowledging a personal transformation through a spiritual experience.
I wished I was popular, I wished I was a movie star,
Reiteration of the earlier wish to be popular and a movie star.
I wished I was a superhunk, I wished I was muscular
Expressing previous desires for physical attractiveness and muscularity.
But I know that I don't got it, probably never have it
Acknowledging the continued absence of these desired attributes.
A movie star and a hunk I'll never be
Acceptance of not becoming a movie star or a hunk.
But that's okay, because I found something
Finding contentment despite not achieving worldly desires.
I got more, I got someone to live for, and I know that He loves me
Discovering a deeper purpose and someone to live for, referencing Jesus.
His name is Jesus, He helped create me
Acknowledging the role of Jesus in personal development.
I child of God is what I be
Identification as a child of God and a sense of belonging.
He wasn't playing a joke
Contrasting the initial feeling of divine mockery with the understanding of a purposeful creation.
We're all made in His image
Affirmation of humanity being made in the image of God.
He's got a plan just for me
Acknowledgment of God's individual plan for the speaker.
He's got a place just for me
Belief in a specific place or purpose designed for the speaker by God.
He's got a place, wait and see
Anticipation of a future place designed by God.
