Lyrics
You left your home at eighteen
You departed from your home when you were eighteen years old.
Daddy didn't raise me
Your father didn't raise you.
If I didn't have your angels
If it weren't for the protection of your angels, the city would have taken advantage of you.
The city would have raped me
The city could have exploited or harmed you.
And now you're all alone
Now, you are by yourself.
In a hostel for a home
You reside in a hostel, considering it a home.
And underneath the Hollywood
Beneath the glamorous façade of Hollywood lies only bare bones.
face is only bones.
The superficial glamour masks a harsh reality.

You left your hometown at the age of nineteen.
Daddy didn't want you
Your father did not desire you.
You thought you were a born star
You believed you were destined for stardom.
But everybody's like you
Discovering that everyone is similar to you.
And you find yourself strung out
You find yourself caught in a state of confusion and uncertainty.
In a coma full of doubt
In a state resembling a coma, filled with doubt.

Feeling isolated, but recognizing you can't return home.
But you know you can't go home
