Hollywood Star
Dreaming of Stardom: Eve Donnelly's Anthem to Effortless Fame
Lyrics
I gotta run my lines
I need to rehearse my lines
I'm running out of time
Time is running out
I'm only nineteen but the clock ain't running behind
Despite being nineteen, time is not slowing down
I tried to walk a mile
Attempted to make progress
Instead I sat a while
Chose to rest instead of making efforts
Cause what's the point when we're all gonna burn anyways
A sense of futility as everyone will face a common fate
I think I'm pretty but
Perception of personal attractiveness
Clearly not enough
Feeling inadequate despite perceived beauty
To get me to the top
Insufficient attractiveness to achieve success easily
Without doing much (yeah)
Reluctance to put in substantial effort
Guess I'm not the type
Realization of not fitting a certain mold
That doesn't have to write
Not inclined towards traditional methods of success
Just wanna make a name without ever using my brain
Desire for recognition without intellectual effort
I wanna be a Hollywood star but I
Aspiration to become a Hollywood star
Don't wanna work don't wanna work very hard do I
Resistance to working hard for success
I wanna be a Hollywood star but I
Reiteration of the desire to be a Hollywood star
Don't wanna work don't wanna work very hard do I
Continued aversion to hard work
I'm just like
Comparison to others
Why does everything have to be earned
Questioning the necessity of earning everything
Like, can't I just be famous for no reason
Desire for fame without a specific reason
I just want stuff for free
Expressing a wish for free privileges
Is that so wrong of me
Questioning societal views on charity
Who decided that charity's the enemy
Challenging the perception of charity as an adversary
I got high self esteem (whoo)
Positive self-esteem and ambitious dreams
And big city girl dreams
Confident aspirations of a city lifestyle
Couldn't I have been a nepotism baby
Wishing for advantages due to family connections
I wanna be a Hollywood star but I
Reiteration of the desire to be a Hollywood star
Don't wanna work don't wanna work very hard do I
Continued reluctance to work hard
I wanna be a Hollywood star but I
Reiteration of the desire to be a Hollywood star
Don't wanna work don't wanna work very hard do I
Continued aversion to hard work
Cause really that's the dream
Stating the ultimate dream
Being a pop star who can't sing
Desiring fame without exceptional talent
So many got talent to give
Acknowledging the abundance of talent
But making it without it, that's impressive ya
Emphasizing the challenge of success without talent
Cause really that's the dream
Reiteration of the dream
Being a pop star who can't sing
Reiteration of desiring fame without singing talent
So many got talent to give
Acknowledging the talent pool
But making it without it, that's impressive ya
Highlighting the uniqueness of success without talent
I wanna be a Hollywood star but I
Reiteration of the desire to be a Hollywood star
Don't wanna work don't wanna work very hard do I
Continued aversion to hard work
I wanna be a Hollywood star but I
Reiteration of the desire to be a Hollywood star
Don't wanna work don't wanna work very hard do I
Continued resistance to working hard
Do I
Repetition of doubt and contemplation
But I
Repetition indicating uncertainty
But I
-Do I
Reiteration of doubt and contemplation
