Hollywood
Candace Marie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't get much sleep
Tossed and turned
Nightmares haunting me
So I drive
A thousand miles
To find
I'm losing my ground
Where neons grace the night
Hanging on
To find what's right
What we dream
Is who we are
Finding out
What's worth my star
Where did I go?
I lost myself in Hollywood
Spinning out of control
I'm out of control
What did I do?
To lose myself in Hollywood?
I?m out of control
Yea, I'm out of control
Count the knives in my back
Count the times that I?ve crashed
Count the blessing I?ve held
Where do I find myself?
Count the people I know
Count the lies that I?ve told
Count the memories
What do they see in me?
Coexist
Find my way
Lock myself inside this room for days
And as I drive
Over city lights
I can finally breathe for the first nights
Where did I go?
I lost myself in Hollywood
Spinning out of control
I'm out of control
What did I do?
To lose myself in Hollywood?
I?m out of control
Yea, I'm out of control
Count the knives in my back
Count the times that I?ve crashed
Count the blessing I?ve held
Where do I find myself?
Count the people I know
Count the lies that I?ve told
Count the memories
What do they see in me?
And I?ll save
What's left of me
And I?ll stay
To give what's left of me
Have what's left of me.
Count the knives in my back
Count the times that I?ve crashed
Count the blessing I?ve held
Where do I find myself?
Count the people I know
Count the lies that I?ve told
Count the memories
What do they see in me?
Count the knives in my back
Count the times that I?ve crashed
Count the blessing I?ve held
Where do I find myself?
Count the people I know
Count the lies that I?ve told
Count the memories
What do they see in me?
The lyrics in Candace Marie's song "Hollywood" speaks about a personal journey of self-discovery in the midst of a fast-paced, glittery entertainment industry. The song begins with the artist feeling lost and confused. Her eyes are blurry, and she didn't get much sleep because of nightmares that are haunting her. She takes a thousand miles drive to the famous Hollywood city to find herself as she feels like she is losing her ground. The bright neons of Hollywood grace the night as she tries to hold onto what's right while hanging on to her dreams because, for her, dreams are what they are, and they define who she is. She tries to find out what's worth her star, which means she is trying to find what truly matters to her and what gives meaning to her life in Hollywood.
The chorus of the song shows that the artist is frustrated and out of control. She is lost, out of control and doesn't know where she is going or how to find herself. The knives that are present in her back and the many times she has crashed add to her sense of feeling lost and helpless, and she realizes that she needs to find herself soon. The second verse shows her journey to finding herself by locking herself in a room and coexisting, trying to find her way. She drives over city lights and finds solace in the peace and quiet of the night. She finally breathes, which shows here that through her journey, she finds herself.
In conclusion, the song "Hollywood" is about personal journey, and the lyrics speak to anyone who has ever felt lost or out of control. It speaks of finding oneself amidst the chaos of Hollywood and finding out what truly matters in life.

Eyes are blurry
I am tired and haven't gotten much rest
Didn't get much sleep
I haven't slept well
Tossed and turned
I couldn't sleep comfortably
Nightmares haunting me
I have been having disturbing dreams
So I drive
I go on a road trip
A thousand miles
I travel a long distance
To find
In search of something
I'm losing my ground
I feel like I'm slipping away
Save myself
I need to protect myself
Where neons grace the night
In places where colorful lights light up the darkness
Hanging on
I'm trying to hold on
To find what's right
Looking for the right path
What we dream, Is who we are
Our dreams reveal our true selves
Finding out
Discovering
What's worth my star
What is valuable for my pursuit of success
Where did I go?
I have lost myself
I lost myself in Hollywood
I lost who I was while chasing success in Hollywood
Spinning out of control
I'm losing my ability to keep my life in balance
I'm out of control
I can't manage my life anymore
What did I do?
I am questioning my actions
To lose myself in Hollywood?
What did I do to lose my identity in the pursuit of success in Hollywood?
Count the knives in my back
Count the number of times I've been hurt by others
Count the times that I’ve crashed
Count the number of times I've failed
Count the blessing I’ve held
Recognizing the positive moments in my life
Where do I find myself?
Asking the question of where I stand in life
Count the people I know
Counting the number of people I know
Count the lies that I've told
Counting the number of falsehoods I've said
Count the memories
Reflecting on my experiences
What do they see in me?
Questioning how others perceive me
Coexist
Living in harmony with others
Find my way
Discovering my path in life
Lock myself inside this room for days
Isolating myself in a room for a long period
And as I drive
While I'm on the road
Over city lights
Looking at the city lights
I can finally breathe for the first nights
I can finally feel at ease after a long time
And I'll save
I will preserve
What's left of me
What remains of me after everything I've been through
And I'll stay
I will not give up
To give what's left of me
To dedicate myself with what remains of me to achieve success
