Famous
Fame's Dark Side: Tom MacDonald's Struggle in the Spotlight
Lyrics
I'm the king of the town, I shit on it like I own this place
I assert dominance over the town and disregard it as if I own it.
But I just walk along quietly
I maintain a low profile and walk quietly.
And when I'm out, I keep my head down 'cause they know my face
When outside, I avoid attention because people recognize me.
I hope that nobody finds me
I hope to remain unnoticed by others.
I'm a rockstar, saw me on the cop car
Identifying as a rockstar, seen on a cop car, and achieving success.
Heard me screaming, "White boy", mama, I done got far
Being acknowledged as a "white boy" who has achieved significant success.
I got hella money, everything I want
Having abundant money and acquiring everything desired.
Everybody loves me, I'm not having fun
Despite external admiration, I am not truly enjoying life.
Living a good life in a bad way
Living a seemingly good life, but with a negative undertone.
Looking for good times, finding the bad days
Seeking positive experiences but encountering negative ones.
Everything is great, go ahead and check my page
Presenting a positive image on social media with high views and plays.
Got another million views, got another million plays, yeah
Continuing to gain popularity and recognition.
I'm so fucking famous, put me on your playlist
Expressing intense fame and willingness to be included in playlists.
Yeah, I'll sign your CD, want a picture? Take it
Willing to autograph CDs and take pictures with fans.
Everything is fake like the smile that's on my face
Admitting that everything, including the smile, is fake.
Like this grill and like these chains, I am everything I hate, but
Acknowledging contradictions within oneself and self-hate.
I'm so fucking famous, I'm a fucking rockstar
Reiterating fame and identifying as a rockstar.
Dad, I fucking hate this, mama, I done got far
Expressing hatred despite achieving success, addressing parents.
I feel like I'm falling apart, I've been beaten, but it's not my heart
Feeling emotionally broken, not physically.
I'm lost in the dark, my hand out in front of my face
Lost in darkness, searching for something tangible.
I'm feeling for anything hard, I reach with my arms
Reaching out blindly, looking for stability.
The walls and the ceilings are far, and I'm bleeding, surrounded by sharks
Surrounded by challenges and adversaries.
I just need a spark
Seeking inspiration or motivation.
To see if the demons I'm fleeing have followed me here from the start
Questioning if personal struggles are inherent or external.
I scream at the stars
Expressing frustration or desperation towards the universe.
I'm dreaming of speaking with God when I'm sleeping, it ends with alarms
Yearning for divine guidance in dreams, but waking up to alarms.
I'm feeding my scars
Coping with pain and difficulties, keeping them hidden.
With secrets I'm keeping so deeply, it's squeezing the blood from my heart
Guarding personal secrets that affect the emotional core.
There's a person in me getting lost in the trees till I'm up on the stage and I freeze
Feeling lost internally until performing on stage, experiencing a freeze.
I just need a car and a key, I will start it and leave, when I'm far, then I'll get out and scream
Desiring escape through a car and key, expressing frustration.
I'm a rockstar, saw me on the cop car
Reiteration of being a rockstar and achieving fame.
Heard me screaming, "White boy", mama, I done got far
Recalling past success and acknowledging racial comments.
I got hella money, everything I want
Reiterating wealth and popularity without genuine happiness.
Everybody loves me, I'm not having fun
Despite external admiration, true enjoyment is lacking.
Living a good life in a bad way
Living a seemingly good life with an underlying negative tone.
Looking for good times, finding the bad days
Searching for positive experiences but facing negative ones.
Everything is great, go ahead and check my page
Presenting a positive image on social media with high views and plays.
Got another million views, got another million plays, yeah
Continuing to gain popularity and recognition.
I'm so fucking famous, put me on your playlist
Expressing intense fame and willingness to be included in playlists.
Yeah, I'll sign your CD, want a picture? Take it
Willing to autograph CDs and take pictures with fans.
Everything is fake like the smile that's on my face
Admitting that everything, including the smile, is fake.
Like this grill and like these chains, I am everything I hate, but
Acknowledging contradictions within oneself and self-hate.
I'm so fucking famous, I'm a fucking rockstar
Reiterating fame and identifying as a rockstar.
Dad, I fucking hate this, mama, I done got far
Expressing hatred despite achieving success, addressing parents.
