Fame
Adekunle GOLD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm longing for a place where I can I be a part
I'm here in my house but home seems so far
I've tried to cut the distance but it feels so far
Sometimes my mama's house
Don't feel like home
Sometimes my baby's arms
Sometimes with my friends
I feel alone
Sometimes
I feel alone
Oh oh oh ohoh oh
Oh oh oh ohoh oh
Everybody says don't change but how will I grow
I'm scared to do the things I want but people don't know
I wanted the fame and I no know say the thing go hard
Somedays I want to run away I no go lie o
Sometimes my mama's house
Don't feel like home
Sometimes my baby's arms
Don't feel like home
Sometimes with my friends
I feel alone o
Sometimes
I feel alone o
Oh oh oh ohoh oh
Oh oh oh ohoh oh
Eh eh eh eh show me the way out
Someday sometimes yeah
I feel alone uh uh uh uh l feel alone oh
Sometimes my mama's house
Don't feel like home
Sometimes my baby's arms
Don't feel like home
Sometimes with my friends
I feel alone oh
Sometimes sometimes eh
I feel alone oh
Oh oh oh ohoh oh
Oh oh oh ohoh oh
Someday sometimes yeah
Feel like home o uh uh uh
Feel like home o o o
The song "Fame" by Adekunle GOLD is a reflection on the perils of fame and the longing for a sense of belonging. The opening lines reveal the loneliness that comes with constantly moving from place to place in pursuit of success. The imagery of a "lonely heart" searching for a place to belong is a powerful metaphor for the isolation that often comes with chasing fame. The singer expresses a desire for a place to call home, where they can feel like they are truly a part of something, but the distance and the pressures of fame make that seem impossible.
The chorus of the song reveals the complexity of the singer's relationships. Even when surrounded by loved ones, they can still feel alone. Their mother's house and their partner's arms, both places that should feel like home, sometimes do not. The line "sometimes with my friends, I feel alone" highlights the difficulty of maintaining authentic connections while navigating the expectations and pressures of fame.
The bridge of the song expresses the singer's ambivalence towards fame. They desire success and recognition but are also afraid of the changes that come with it. The line "I wanted the fame and I no know say the thing go hard" speaks to the naïveté and idealism that can come with chasing a dream. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the loneliness that lingers even in the midst of success.
Overall, "Fame" is a poignant reflection on the costs of fame and the human longing for connection and belonging.
