My Address Is Hollywood
Adore Delano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bright lights, and diamonds
There's fame in our walk
Tonight, we're shinin', like stars on the block
I know, the glitter, will bring us to life
Let go, we fake it, but we fake it right

La-la-la-la-la
I'm a city angel, but it doesn't pay well
Baby, that's okay
La-la-la-la-la
Heaven wouldn't have me, cause I'm all about me
Hell, I'm on my way

My-y-y-y, my address is Hollywood
My address is Hollywood
I-I-I-I wouldn't change it if I could
My address is Hollywood
My address is Hollywood

You say, we've made it
We already know
Too late, we got it
We're still in the show
Makeup, and only believe what you (say)
Wake up, someone else is all you can be





(Say) is supposed to be (See)

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Adore Delano's song My Address Is Hollywood, the artist reflects on their life in the entertainment industry. The first two lines describe the glamorous lifestyle that comes with fame, with bright lights and diamonds symbolizing the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. The artist acknowledges that they fake it to make it - they may not always feel confident in their success, but they put on a show and make it seem like everything is perfect. The chorus emphasizes the artist's pride in their home in Hollywood, and their unwillingness to change anything about their life.


The second verse continues this theme, with the artist likening themselves to a "city angel" who doesn't make much money from their work. They suggest that they are selfish and wouldn't fit in in Heaven, implying that their career and lifestyle revolve entirely around their own desires. Despite this, they are content with their life and feel like they belong in Hollywood.


Overall, the song seems to celebrate the superficial aspects of the entertainment industry while acknowledging that it can be a challenging and fake environment to navigate. The artist is unapologetic about their devotion to their own success, and takes pride in their home in Hollywood.

+Taylor Allen Honestly... I link her songs to people and just let them slowly figure out that she's a queen. It's been working rather well. About 95% of my gaming community now looks around for drag musicians.

It's only Marci Bratz
