Ardhito Pramono Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And do all the things I shouldn't do
I'm living like a superstar...
Will, would you take me to the rendezvous
Don't forget to play my favorite tune
And pick up my friends
We talk and then
We go bla... bla... bla... bla...
We have arrived friends
Oh hey you Wayne!
I'll buy all your favorite champagne
'Cause baby I'm a superstar
But when the nighttime comes I'm felling very lonely
No ones around will come and share a bedtime story
And here I'm longing someone to comfort me
Will anyone my followers on instagram?
Will, would you take me to the rendezvous
Don't forget to play my favorite tune
I'm living like a superstar
But when the nighttime comes I'm felling very lonely
No ones around will come and share a bedtime story
And here I'm longing someone to comfort me
Will anyone my followers on instagram?
Will you take my loot, my whole life too
My precious baby boyfriend too!
I'm living like a superstar
I'm living like a superstar
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, like a superstar
The song "Superstar" by Ardhito Pramono is an intriguing reflection on the allure and loneliness that often comes with fame. In the lyrics, Ardhito asks a hypothetical person (named Will) to perform various tasks for him, from tying his shoes to doing his laundry. He also talks about his life as a "superstar," living the high life with his friends and spending money on expensive champagne. Despite all of this, he expresses a sense of emptiness and loneliness that comes with being in the spotlight. He longs for someone to share a bedtime story with and wonders if anyone among his thousands of Instagram followers will be there for him.
The song is a poignant commentary on the isolating nature of fame, and how material wealth and superficial pleasures can never truly replace human connection. Ardhito's melancholic vocals and the catchy, upbeat melody create a bittersweet atmosphere that perfectly captures the paradoxical nature of being a "superstar."
Line by Line Meaning
Will you tie my shoe, do the laundry too?
As a superstar, I'm so consumed by my own importance that I expect everyone around me to cater to my every whim and desire, even if it involves something as pedestrian as tying my shoes or doing my laundry.
And do all the things I shouldn't do
I often engage in self-destructive behavior and ask others to enable it by helping me do things that I know I shouldn't be doing, like engaging in drugs and alcohol.
I'm living like a superstar...
Despite the pitfalls of fame, I still revel in my celebrity status and feel invincible, living my life with reckless abandon.
Will, would you take me to the rendezvous
As a celebrity, I'm always being invited to exclusive events and need someone to accompany me and show me around with preferred treatment.
Don't forget to play my favorite tune
At these events, I expect people to play my preferred songs and cater to my ego, as if I'm the most important person in the room.
And pick up my friends
I travel with an entourage and expect people to make arrangements for them as well, often treating them like personal assistants.
We talk and then
We go bla... bla... bla... bla...
Despite being surrounded by people, I feel isolated and disconnected from the world around me, leading to meaningless small talk and idle chatter with my entourage.
We have arrived friends
Oh hey you Wayne!
In the midst of all this, I still try to keep up appearances and put on a facade of being friendly and approachable, even if it means pretending to remember people I barely know.
I'll buy all your favorite champagne
'Cause baby I'm a superstar
To further impress people and flaunt my wealth and status, I often indulge in expensive treats like buying rounds of expensive champagne, reinforcing my superstar image and further alienating me from normalcy.
But when the nighttime comes I'm felling very lonely
No ones around will come and share a bedtime story
And here I'm longing someone to comfort me
Will anyone my followers on instagram?
Despite all of this, I still feel deeply isolated and crave companionship, often turning to social media and my followers to reach out for connection, even if it's only digital.
Will you take my loot, my whole life too
My precious baby boyfriend too!
In my ego-fueled state, I'm willing to give up everything and everyone, even my most cherished possessions and loved ones, to maintain my celebrity status and keep indulging in a lifestyle of excess and luxury.
I'm living like a superstar
I'm living like a superstar
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, like a superstar
A final reinforcement of my belief that being a superstar is worth all the struggles, hardships, and loneliness that come with it, as I continue living my life in a bubble of privilege and excess.
