Stand here waiting for you to bang the gong

To crash the critic saying is it right or is it wrong
Contemplating the judgment of critics and questioning the correctness of one's actions or choices.
If only fame had its own key baby could I bear
Reflecting on the challenges of fame and suggesting a desire for a key to unlock the difficulties associated with it.
Being away from you I found a way to get you here
Finding a way to bridge the distance and connect with someone despite the challenges of fame.
I live for the applause applause applause
