ROCKSTAR
Brian May Lyrics

They say that I'm dangerous
People think that I am dangerous or that I bring destruction to everything I touch.

Like everything I touch falls apart
I am thought of as a negative force that causes destruction to anything that I come into contact with.

If I were to tell, they'll kill me now
If I were to reveal whatever secret I am keeping, I might be killed for it.

Well imma cut to the chase
I am going to get straight to the point of what I want to say.

I used to wish on a star but nowadays I need space: satellites
I used to hope for things that seemed far away, but now I need distance to protect myself from scrutiny.

See the black shades white chain, flashing lights
I notice the contrast between the black sunglasses and the white jewelry being displayed in front of the flashing lights and cameras.

Never thought I could of felt this low in the highlights
I am surprised that while I am in the spotlight, that I still feel down or unhappy.

So I asked Phyllis its still another day in paradise
I spoke to Phyllis and she said that everything is still going according to plan.

Is the heaven for the forever twenty seven
Does the afterlife only exist for those who passed away when they were 27 years old (like Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, etc.)?

Could it be three years till I'm jammin' with legends?
Is it possible that in three years from now, I will be playing music with these legendary musicians?

I got thousands of fans, but I don't get the obsession
Many people admire me, but I do not understand their level of interest or obsession with me.

There's a nice guy inside, I guess I've never met him
I've heard that I am a good person, but I do not feel like I have been able to get in touch with this side of myself yet.

Cause I could buy a fast car but not even an aeroplane can seem to get me out of here
I could buy any luxury item I wanted, but not even an airplane could give me the escape I need from my current situation.

The pressure and the stress are both dying to see the end of me
Both the constant pressure I'm under and the stress of my lifestyle seem to want me to fail or crumble completely.

And the man in the mirror is looking at me like an enemy
When I look in the mirror, I see myself as my own worst enemy or critic.

Whoa
Expression to indicate surprise or awe.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger every time
When you overcome a challenge, you become stronger as a result.

Naho
Expression to say 'no.'

Don't let em tell you how to live your life, cause
Do not allow others to dictate how you should live your life.

Cause I'm living like a rockstar
I am living my life extravagantly and with enthusiasm, like a rockstar.

I ain't afraid the good die young
I am not afraid to die young like many talented musicians before me.

Cause I be living like a rockstar
Because I am living my life with such extravagance and enthusiasm.

I blow up a million miles away, away, away
I explode with energy and passion, far from where I started.

Chica bang bang
Expression used to call attention during a moment of excitement or impact.

Mama always told that there's someone looking over me
My mother always believed that a higher power was watching over me.

Think she meant the guy with the camera tryna photo me
I think she meant the photographers who follow me around everywhere taking pictures of me.

Be careful what you wish for, cause the truths a little different
Be cautious of what you hope to achieve, as the reality may not match your expectations.

If the guardian's my angel, why's the sun burning holes in me?
If my guardian angel is supposed to protect me, why does it feel like the sun is damaging me?

They let me loose on the public, but I didn't prepare
The public was allowed to have access to me, but I was not properly equipped to handle the scrutiny and attention that came with it.

I get shock by a lens everytime I appear
Every time I am in front of a camera, I get a shock of fear or surprise.

Put a star in the room, I swear it changes the atmosphere
There is something that changes in the energy or mood of a space when a famous or talented person is present.

Cause I'm a celebrity, can someone get me out of here
I am a celebrity, and at times I feel like I am trapped in this life and wish someone could help me escape.

You ain't a legend till your set in stone
A person is not thought of as a legend until they have passed away and their legacy is established.

For now your just flesh and bone
At the moment, I am just a human being with a physical body.

Just a little brother tryna build a home
I am trying to create a comfortable and stable environment for myself, like any other person.

I'll be the best till my dying breath: brian jones
I will strive to be the best until the day I die, like Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones.

A wise girl once sung tears dry on their own
Amy Winehouse once sang that eventually, tears dry up and the pain goes away on its own.

Fuck a moment of silence in my house
I do not want silence to represent respect or grief in my life.

We shut the whole shit down for winehouse
We went all out to pay tribute to Amy Winehouse and shut everything down for her.

So I've got something to say
I have an opinion or idea that I want to share.

Take aim, pull the trigger
Take a decisive action and follow through with it.

Cause your never going to blow me away ( away,oh woah)
You will not intimidate or scare me, no matter what you do.

I ain't afraid to die young
I do not fear dying at a young age.

Cause I don't care, I don't care
I am indifferent to what others say or think about me.

Take me there, take me there
I desire a change of pace or a new environment.

Na na na I ain't scared, I ain't scared
I am not afraid of anything or anyone.
