Big Star
Riding the Celebrity Wave: Reflections of a Big Star
Lyrics
Now that I'm a big star, what am I gonna do?
Reflecting on newfound fame and questioning the next steps.
I'm so bored counting all my money
Expressing boredom from the monotony of counting wealth.
I sit here and I think of you
Thinking about someone special while in the midst of success.
It's so easy, it's so easy to do
Highlighting the perceived ease of success and maintaining a relationship.
I don't even have to try
Stating the effortlessness of achieving success.
I don't even want to try
Expressing a lack of desire to make an effort in certain aspects.
Why should I waste my precious time?
Questioning the worthiness of spending time on certain endeavors.
I can't make you love me...but I know you will
Acknowledging the inability to force love but expressing confidence in its inevitability.
I'm such an asshole, how could you resist?
Self-aware acknowledgment of being unlikable, questioning resistance from others.
I never meant to let it go to my head
Regretting unintended consequences of newfound success on personality.
I never thought it would come to this
Expressing surprise at the unexpected turn of events.
It's me...the asshole of your dreams
Humorous self-depiction as the undesirable but dreamt-of figure.
I can't make you love me...but I know you do
Reiteration of the certainty that love will be reciprocated despite inability to force it.
I'm so cool, no one wants to talk to me
Claiming social coolness but noting a lack of interest from others.
And I'm so cool, no one wants to look at me
Reiterating a sense of social coolness with a focus on being ignored.
I'm so fuckin' cool, nobody cares at all!
Emphasizing extreme coolness without gaining attention or concern from others.
I'm a big fuckin' star oh yea yea yea!
Celebrating the irony of being a big star with an apparent lack of recognition.
