Plastic Diamonds
Plastic Diamonds: Fame's Illusion & Sacrifice
Lyrics
Wind is whistling through your veins
Metaphorically describing a sense of emptiness or desolation, feeling the effects of a cold and harsh reality.
Rattling around your coop again
Suggesting confinement or limitation, feeling trapped or restricted in a confined space or situation.
The birds outside tap on the glass
Symbolizing external influences or distractions trying to get attention, possibly disrupting inner peace.
Reminding you that nothing lasts
Highlighting the impermanence of things, a reminder that nothing in life is permanent.
Look at me
Expressing a desire for attention and recognition, with a sarcastic tone about the absurdity of seeking fame.
Look at me
-That's what you want to tell the world
-Look at me look at me look at me
-Your fame is so absurd
Mocking the excessive pursuit of fame, pointing out the absurdity of the quest for celebrity status.
Are you ready?
Possibly questioning readiness for a significant event or change, using imagery of being part of a feast or feeding a beast metaphorically.
Are you ready?
-Are you ready to be the feast?
-Are you ready?
-Are you ready?
-Are you ready to feed the beast?
-Footsteps run up from behind
Suggesting curiosity or intrusion from others, emphasizing that material possessions may not hold true value.
They want to know what's inside your mind
-All that glitters is not gold
-When everything precious has been bought and sold
-Look at me
Reiterating the desire for attention and fame, emphasizing the absurdity of the pursuit.
Look at me
-That's what you want to tell the world
-Look at me look at me look at me
-Your fame is so absurd
-Are you ready?
Repeating the theme of readiness, possibly exploring the consequences of being part of something significant or sacrificing for a cause.
Are you ready?
-Are you ready to be the feast?
-Are you ready?
-Are you ready?
-Are you ready to feed the beast?
-And when you sell your soul
Addressing the consequences of selling out or compromising one's values, maintaining a facade of strength and normalcy despite internal struggles.
What's left is hard and cold
-Pretend that you are strong
-Act like nothing's wrong
-Remember don't forget your past
-This was never meant to last
-What happens when they look away?
Questioning the durability of superficial or artificial things when not observed or valued, using "Plastic diamonds" as a metaphor for superficiality.
Plastic diamonds get thrown away
-Are you ready?
Repeating the theme of readiness and questioning if one is prepared for the consequences or responsibilities, continuing the metaphor of being part of a feast or feeding a beast.
Are you ready?
-Are you ready to be the feast?
-Are you ready?
-Are you ready?
-Are you ready to feed the beast?
