Limelight
Cheswick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you know what you're doing
There's so much here that will eat you alive
So let's drive tonight
On one-way roads to homes of angels
Come in, feel the limelight

Caring can wait
How much would you give
Up to never have to give in
To anyone ever again?





Caring can wait

Overall Meaning

In Cheswick's song Limelight, the first verse warns about the risks and dangers that come along when one is in the limelight, hence saying "There's so much here that will eat you alive." Despite the risks, they suggest the idea of going on a drive to see the road less taken, leading to "homes of angels." It signifies taking a break from the pressures and chaos of the limelight and finding comfort and peace elsewhere.


The chorus repeats "Caring can wait," indicating that while the limelight is present, it's essential to understand that it could be fleeting. One must focus on their career and be vigilant to influence their audience and maintain their position. The bridge though, "How much would you give up to never have to give in To anyone ever again," indicates the stress and pressure that comes along with the showbiz industry. The limelight holds the power to gain fame, but it restricts one from freedom and personal choices.

:( I really liked this band. What happened to you guys? It's been over 6 or 7 years since I've heard anything about you.
