Chasing Stardom: Desperate Adoration in Flashing Lights
Lyrics
We are the crowd
We are part of the crowd, collectively involved.
We're c-coming out
We're emerging or becoming visible.
Got my flash on, it's true
I have my camera flash ready, it's a fact.
Need that picture of you
I need a photograph of you.
It's so magical
This situation feels enchanting or extraordinary.
We'd be so fantastical
We would appear incredibly imaginative or creative.
Yeah, yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
Leather and jeans
Clothing made of leather and jeans.
Garage glamorous
A glamorous appearance associated with a garage.
Not sure what it means
Uncertain about its significance or interpretation.
But this photo of us
This photo of us holds immeasurable value.
It don't have a price
Cannot be quantified in terms of money.
Ready for those flashing lights
Prepared for the bright, sudden lights of cameras.
'Cause you know that baby I
Because you know I am your devoted admirer.
I'm your biggest fan
Willing to pursue you persistently.
I'll follow you until you love me
I'll continue to follow you until you develop affection for me.
Papa-paparazzi
Reference to paparazzi, photographers chasing celebrities.
Baby, there's no other superstar
No other famous person compares to you.
You know that I'll be
I assure you that I will act as your paparazzi.
Your papa-paparazzi
Promising to be considerate in my pursuit.
Promise I'll be kind
But I won't cease until I make that person mine.
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Indicating the person will achieve fame because of this chase.
Baby, you'll be famous
Continuing to pursue until the affection is reciprocated.
Chase you down until you love me
Stating awareness of being observed by others and reciprocating.
Papa-paparazzi
Asking not to hurt or damage the speaker's fragile heart.
I think you should know that I see other people and they see me looking back
Speeding up actions because of limited resources.
Baby, don't you break my heart I told you that it's made of glass
Reflecting on past experiences quickly.
I'm a make it fast, up the empty gas
Intending to make the other person fall.
Look at the past blast, I'm a make you fall on your ass
Encouraging resilience despite it being unimportant.
Suck it up and pacify, but it's irrelevant
Indicating others perform actions without valid reasons.
Y'all motherfuckers do it for the hell of it
Asserting that others engage without genuine concern.
Say you care if I cry, you lie
Claiming insincerity when expressing care.
If I put 'em side by side, you sigh
If compared, the difference in reaction is evident.
(Ah) Care if I cry, you lie
Repeated emphasis on insincerity when expressing concern.
If I put 'em side by side, you die
If compared, the consequence is dire or severe.
(Ah) Care if I cry, you lie
Emphasizing the insincerity regarding emotional concern.
If I put 'em side by side, side by side
Repeating the lack of genuine care when placed side by side.
I'm your biggest fan
Reiteration of being a devoted admirer.
I'll follow you until you love me
Continued determination to pursue the person.
Papa-paparazzi
Repetition of referring to paparazzi in relation to the pursuit.
Baby, there's no other superstar
Reiterating the person's uniqueness and importance.
You know that I'll be
Assurance of persisting as the person's paparazzi.
Your papa-paparazzi
Promise to be considerate in the pursuit.
Promise I'll be kind
Persistence in the pursuit until achieving the desired goal.
But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Assured fame for the person pursued.
Baby, you'll be famous
Continued pursuit until mutual affection is attained.
Chase you down until you love me
Intention to chase until affection is reciprocated.
Papa-paparazzi
