Gone Hollywood
Heartbreak in Hollywood: Supertramp's Tale of Lost Dreams
Lyrics
It's just heartbreaking
Expressing deep emotional pain or sadness.
I should have known that it would let me down
Regretting a previous expectation that ended in disappointment.
It's just a mind aching
Referring to intense mental distress or anguish.
I used to dream about this town
Recalling a past dream or aspiration about Hollywood.
It was a sight to see, the place to be
Describing Hollywood as a vibrant and desirable place.
Where the living is easy
Highlighting the ease of living in Hollywood.
And the kicks can always be found
Emphasizing the availability of excitement and pleasure.
It's such a shame about it
Expressing disappointment or sorrow about the current state of affairs.
I used to think that it would feel so good
Initially believing that Hollywood would bring joy.
But who's to blame about it
Questioning responsibility for the current situation.
So many creeps in Hollywood
Criticizing the presence of undesirable individuals in Hollywood.
I'm in this dumb motel near the Taco Bell
Describing a less-than-ideal motel situation near Taco Bell.
Without a hope in hell
Expressing a feeling of hopelessness.
I can't believe that I'm still around
Surprised to still be present in Hollywood despite challenges.
Ain't nothing new
Stating that there is nothing new in current life experiences.
In my life today
Reflecting on the lack of novelty in today's life.
Ain't nothing true
Asserting that nothing is entirely truthful or authentic.
It's all gone away
Expressing a sense of loss or disappearance of everything.
I've had too much cryin', seen too much grief
Having experienced excessive sorrow and grief.
I'm sick of tryin' it's beyond belief
Expressing exhaustion and disbelief in continued efforts.
I'm tired of talking on the telephone
Frustration with phone conversations.
They're trying to tell me that they're not at home
Encountering unavailability when seeking connection.
Ain't nothing new
Reiterating the lack of novelty in current life experiences.
In my life today
Continuing the theme of a monotonous life.
I've had enough of walking from place to place
Fed up with aimless wandering and lack of friendly interactions.
I've yet to come across a friendly face
Expressing difficulty in finding welcoming faces.
And now the words sound familiar, as you slam the door
Recognizing familiar negative patterns in communication.
You're not what we're looking for
Encountering rejection and not fitting the desired criteria.
Ain't nothing new
Repeating the theme of life lacking novelty.
In my life today
Reiterating the monotonous nature of current life.
Ain't nothing true
Emphasizing the absence of truth in current experiences.
It's all gone away
Expressing a sense of loss and disappearance of everything.
If we only had time, only had time for you
Reflecting on the limitation of time, suggesting a desire for connection.
If we only had time, only had time for you
-If we only had time, only had time for you
-It was a heartbreaking
Recalling a past heartbreak.
Now I ride in a big fine car
Contrasting past heartbreak with current success and status.
It was mind aching
Referring to past mental distress, now a prominent figure.
Yeah, I'm the talk of the boulevard
Being a notable presence in the boulevard or public eye.
So keep your chin up boy, forget the pain
Encouraging resilience and optimism despite pain.
I know you'll make it if you try again
Believing in the potential for success with continued effort.
There's no use in quitting
Discouraging quitting, with the world anticipating one's contribution.
When the world is waiting for you
Highlighting the world's expectation for future achievements.
