Hollywood Sign
Life's Unseen Struggles: Hollywood's Untold Stories
Lyrics
He came down from the south of Brooklyn
He, possibly from the south of Brooklyn, arrives in Hollywood.
Spirits high or so they said
People claim his spirits are high, though it might not be true.
He got stories about this land that they never knew
He shares untold stories about the land, misunderstood by others.
They don't understand him
Others fail to comprehend or relate to him.
She was seventeen and her life was open
A 17-year-old girl, facing challenges, seeks a home.
Her mom was gone and her dad was dead
Her parents are absent, and she longs for a family.
Down on fourth-street looking for the home she never had
She searches on fourth street for the family she never had.
They don't understand her anyway
Her struggles are misunderstood by others.
And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine
Despite challenges, the natural cycles of life continue.
And the days will roll by like everything was fine
Days pass, seemingly normal, despite underlying difficulties.
And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine
The world continues its routine, oblivious to personal struggles.
And life will roll on... 'round the Hollywood sign
Life persists around the iconic Hollywood sign.
Johny's flying in the likes of heaven
Johny, likely an individual, navigates challenges akin to heaven.
Spirits high or so they say
Others perceive him positively, even in adversity.
And he knows there'll be better days
He anticipates better days and nights in the midst of a tough game.
Better nights, it's a bitter game
The struggle is bitter, but hope exists for improvement.
They don't understand him anyway
His complexities are not understood by others.
They've got contracts in their pockets
Powerful figures with contracts and golden suits influence Hollywood.
And their suits are made of gold
They may induce individuals to compromise their integrity.
And they'll make you act so sleazy
The industry may pressure one to act in ways considered sleazy.
They'll tell you you're to old
Ageism is prevalent, and they may dismiss you as too old.
Then they'll come and knock your door down
There's a threat of losing opportunities, hoping the person doesn't see it.
And hope that you are blind
The industry wishes for ignorance to exploit individuals.
But life will roll on... 'round this big sign
Despite challenges, life continues around the Hollywood sign.
And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine
The celestial bodies continue their cycles, indifferent to personal struggles.
And the days will roll by like everything was fine
Days pass by, seemingly unaffected by underlying difficulties.
And the moon will rise and the sun will still shine
Regardless of personal struggles, life persists around the Hollywood sign.
And life will roll on... 'round the Hollywood sign
Life continues its course, symbolized by the iconic Hollywood sign.
