MTV
Unveiling the Illusion: The Plastic Cherries' MTV Message
Lyrics
They gave you the option
There were choices presented
They gave you the choice
The opportunity to choose was given
They gave you the vision
A perspective or outlook was provided
They gave you the voice
The ability to express oneself was granted
And they're watching you
Surveillance or observation is ongoing
Watching you
-Watching you
-The view is so nice
The vantage point is enjoyable
From up on the hill
A metaphorical elevation with a broad view
They see all direction
Comprehensive awareness of surroundings
They run standing still
Being active yet stationary
And we want to be free
Desire for freedom, but an inability to detach
But we can never come down
-We want to be free
-But we can never come down
-I want to sell my soul on MTV
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice integrity for fame on MTV
I want to sell my soul on MTV
-The static is soothing
The interference or noise is comforting
A chill in the air
An atmospheric coldness is present
You put on your costume
Putting on a façade or role
They pull up a chair
An audience is engaged
And they're watching you
Continued scrutiny or surveillance
Watching you
-Watching you
-They dress up in suits
Formal attire symbolizing authority
The welcoming sign
A welcoming but possibly deceptive gesture
They're floating like neon
A vivid, attention-grabbing presence
I send you a line
Communication attempt in a challenging environment
And we want to be free
Yearning for freedom, yet tethered to unattainable heights
But we can never come down
-We want to be free
-But we can never come down
-I want to sell my soul on MTV
Reiteration of a desire to compromise for fame on MTV
I want to sell my soul on MTV
