Actresses Who Sing
Navigating Stardom: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'Actresses Who Sing'
Lyrics
I’ve developed quite a thing
I have developed a strong interest or attraction
For actresses who sing
Towards actresses who also sing
All the critics and the cynics
Critics and cynics express skepticism
Sayin, “Leave it to the pros”
Saying, "Leave the singing to the professionals"
They’re all sharpening their knives
They are preparing to criticize harshly
But the critics and the cynics
Critics and cynics lead uninteresting lives themselves
Leave such uneventful lives
Contrasting with those pursuing artistic endeavors
Well, I’m not one to judge
I refrain from passing judgment
My star has long burnt out
My own fame has faded away
I’ve had my fifteen minutes
I had a brief period of recognition
Well, five or thereabouts
Approximately five minutes or so
When your face on the side of a bus
Your face on a bus advertisement isn't sufficient
Just isn’t enough
When a significant financial success does not fulfill you
When thirty million gross
Despite earning thirty million, it lacks soul satisfaction
Does nothing for your soul
All the majors lining up
Major record labels expressing interest
All the sycophantic fucks
Sycophantic individuals seeking favor
“Just sign here on this line
Signing contracts with promises of success
And leave the rest to us”
Leaving everything else to the professionals
And in the press release, a footnote
In a press release, a minor detail
Well, in case you didn’t know
In case you're unaware, she performed at a Spanish festival
She played a Spanish festival
Recently, not so long ago
Not so very long ago
And the album, though well-intentioned
The album, with good intentions, not universally liked
Not to everybody’s taste
Produced by a rockstar's son, fades away without impact
Produced by the son of rockstar
Disappears without a trace
Critics and cynics criticize, saying "Leave it to the pros"
And all the critics and the cynics
Sayin, “Leave it to the pros”
-And all the critics and the cynics
Critics and cynics, what do they truly understand?
What the fuck do they really know?
But me, I bought your album
I purchased your album and played it repeatedly
And I played it more than twice
As one artist to another, I offer advice
From one artist to another
I offer this advice :
When you reach your second album, be true to yourself
When you get to album two
Do what the fuck you wanna do
-When you get to album two
-Do what the fuck you wanna do
-When you get to album two
-Do what the fuck you wanna do
-When you get to album two
-Do what the fuck you wanna do
-When you get to album two
-Do what the fuck you wanna do
-When you get to album two
-Do what the fuck you wanna do
