Slightly Famous
Slightly Famous: A Quest for Recognition and Its Pitfalls
Lyrics
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Expressing a modest level of fame
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Reiterating a slight level of fame
God-like, no respite, ubiqui-tous
Describing oneself as god-like with no respite, being everywhere
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Emphasizing a moderate level of fame
I never mean to be a bore
Denying intention to be dull or uninteresting
I wanted fame, I wanted more
Expressing a desire for fame and more in life
I tried so hard, to please the crowd
Efforts made to please the audience
Scream and scream and shout out loud
Yearning for attention and validation through loud expression
Who will listen, who will hear
Seeking an audience that will listen
I begged and begged, to tame my fear
Pleading for understanding to overcome fear
I'd even go from door to door
Willingness to go to any extent to gain attention
Like some sort of media whore
Comparing oneself to a media whore, suggesting a desperate pursuit of attention
Never before, never again
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the situation, not experienced before or after
How much could I gain, in the fast lane
Questioning the gains in the fast-paced lifestyle
Always too little, always too late
Consistently feeling inadequate and delayed in seeking attention
The attention I sought, at any rate
Expressing the pursuit of attention regardless of the consequences
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Reiterating a moderate level of fame
God-like, no respite, ubiqui-tous
Describing oneself as god-like with no respite, being everywhere
Every night, self-adorned, obsess-ive
Being self-obsessed every night
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Emphasizing a moderate level of fame
Dedicate my life, to my fans
Dedicating life to fans and leaving destiny in their hands
And leave my fate, in their hands
Expressing a dependency on fan support for one's fate
Spawn attention, for my own gain
Creating attention for personal gain
The lengths I go to are insane
Highlighting extreme efforts made for attention
If you knew, what's on my mind
Indicating a difference in mindset compared to others
I'm not like you, I'm not your kind
Asserting a unique identity distinct from the norm
The fame I have, is not enough
Expressing dissatisfaction with current fame
From the critics and the buffs
Facing criticism and seeking acknowledgment from enthusiasts
Never before, never again
Emphasizing the uniqueness of the situation, not experienced before or after
How much could I gain, in the fast lane
Questioning the gains in the fast-paced lifestyle
Always too little, always too late
Consistently feeling inadequate and delayed in seeking attention
The attention I sought, at any rate
Expressing the pursuit of attention regardless of the consequences
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Reiterating a moderate level of fame
Every night, self-adorned, obsess-ive
Being self-obsessed every night
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Emphasizing a moderate level of fame
On-ly, slight-ly, fam-ous
Reiterating a moderate level of fame
