On Broadway
Chasing Stardom: Unveiling the Grit Behind Broadway's Neon Glam
Lyrics
They say the neon lights are bright
Expressing the reputation of Broadway with bright neon lights.
On Broadway
Referring to the iconic Broadway street in New York City.
They say there's always magic in the air
Highlighting the belief in the enchantment of the atmosphere on Broadway.
But when you're walkin' down that street
Describing the experience of walking down Broadway.
And you ain't have enough to eat
Portraying financial struggles with insufficient food.
The glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
Indicating that the glamour fades away, leaving a sense of emptiness.
They say the women treat you fine
Suggesting positive treatment from women on Broadway.
On Broadway
Reiterating the location as Broadway.
But lookin' at them just gives me the blues
Contrasting the positive treatment with a personal feeling of sadness.
How ya gonna make some time
Pondering how to find time for pursuits amid financial constraints.
When all you got is one thin dime
Highlighting a severe lack of funds (one thin dime).
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
Emphasizing the insufficiency of even a small amount of money.
They say that I won't last too long
Addressing concerns about not lasting long in the Broadway scene.
On Broadway
Considering returning home via a Greyhound bus.
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say
Rejecting the notion of failure, asserting musical talent.
But they get wrong, I know they are
Asserting confidence in personal abilities.
'Cause I can play this here guitar
Expressing determination to succeed in the music industry.
I won't quit till I'm a star
Committing to the pursuit of stardom on Broadway.
On Broadway
Reiterating the resolve to become a star on Broadway.
On Broadway
Restating the ambition to succeed on Broadway.
On Broadway
Concluding with a strong affirmation of the desire to achieve success on Broadway.
