Think About It
Claire de Lune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big goals, big plans, said you were gonna make the big time
Got a little taste of fame
It intoxicates, blurs your vision babe
Start to feel like a bigshot when the whole room knows your name
Now, you veer off from the path
Start to lose track of the vision you had
Sat back, relaxed, got comfortable too fast
Ain't it a damn shame?
You can point fingers all you like
But in the end, baby, who's to blame?
It didn't go the way you planned
You turned your head
And it slipped right out your hands
And it isn't like
All the blame's on you
It ain't ever easy, but I don't understand why you're so confused
Why don't you think about it?
(Freez):
Yeah they pointing the finger
But they don't know the struggle
Of an artist
Playing the hardest
And always on the hustle
Easy to lose track
Of the haters
When the hoes all love you
Trouble be the follow through
Cause you know they judge you
Couple lines for the stress
Like Willie Dynamite
Eyes dialted, right?
So he ain't tryna write
The kinda life you live when you always up in that limey light
The price is right for dropping a verse
And your shit is kinda tight
Blinded by the lights
And the snakes who would shake his hand
Shared a piff
Experiment with meth
I guess he breakin bad
Thought he would break a song
A & R say it ain't as half
As banging as the flavor he used to have
When he made a track
Start to doubt himself
Without the wealth
The major cats
He blaming that shit on
Ain't the ones who should take the wrap
Face the facts
Son you blew it with drug abusin
Say it's everybody's fault
Who the fuck you foolin?
It didn't go the way you planned
You turned your head
And it slipped right out your hands
And it isn't like
All the blame's on you
It ain't ever easy, but I don't understand why you're so confused
Why don't you think about it?
Tried to play the game
But you lost your way
I guess you're the one
Getting played
When they all go home
And you're all alone
Tell me, where's the microphone?
It didn't go the way you planned
You turned your head
And it slipped right out your hands
And it isn't like
All the blame's on you
It ain't ever easy, but I don't understand why you're so confused
Why don't you think about it?
These lyrics by Claire de Lune's song 'Think About It' speak of an artist's journey towards fame and how it can lead one to lose sight of their goals. The song starts by painting a picture of an ambitious person with stars in their eyes, someone who has big plans, and wants to make it big time. However, along the way, when they get a taste of success, it can intoxicate and blur their vision. Soon enough, they become bigger than their original vision, lose sight of their goals, and start to relax too quickly, becoming too comfortable too fast. The result is that they veer off the path and start to lose themselves to fame.
The song then changes its tone with Freez's verse lamenting on how people very often point fingers at artists and judge them without knowing the struggles that artists face. He speaks of drug abuse, how artists become blinded by the lights and the pursuit of wealth, which often leads them astray from their original goals. He makes it clear that the blame does not lie entirely on the artist, as it is a difficult journey. It is evident that the song is a warning to those who aspire to reach great heights in the music industry, to remain focused and not lose sight of their vision.
Overall, 'Think About It' is an introspective song that challenges people who have had a taste of success to re-evaluate their journey and make the right choices going forward.

You attempted to succeed in the industry
But you lost your way
You became lost and off-track
I guess you're the one
Perhaps you're the problem
Getting played
Being taken advantage of
When they all go home
After everyone else has left
And you're all alone
When you're left by yourself
Tell me, where's the microphone?
Where is your audience now that you're alone?

You’re in space. This music plays. You start to float into nowhere. You look around, black shades everywhere and white small speckled dots cover it. Credits start playing, the universe is over? It scrolls forever and forever. You notice your name, a tear drips past your eye, it falls from your cheek, We did it guys, we did it. We saved the world.
Achievement unlocked: where to now?
Think of nature, the galaxy, how much we worked for, just for it to be ruined. Heaven is right above, but it’s fading? It’s leaving?? No, this can’t be it, the world can’t end you gasp for air, even though there’s plenty of air. ”Anxious?” you look around, it’s a random voice ”There’s no new game, we’ve been working on this project for millions of years. We have watched you all develop new functions. Please, focus what’s happening next. It will be very important.”
You’re still here. You’re watching. Please proceed to 1:00 :)
The credits stop. You remember reading comics when you were younger, you remember when everyone was innocent, you remember when Christmas felt real, you remember when Dad’s shoulders were the highest place on earth, you remember your childhood friend, your first crush, your first step, your first giggle, your first laugh, your first everything.
Admire the world, admire yourself, admire everyone, everything counts.
Before you die, you see someone who you truely miss.
Who would you see?
Please stop if you’re already tearing up this is where it gets tough.
You see them, they say to you ”You made it! I’m afraid I couldn’t do it, I’m so sorry. You’ve come so far, why give up? Remember all the stuff we did together!? It was so fun, those were some of the best moments ever! Even though I’m not there, I’ll always be in your heart.”
*You did it :)
Well done for not crying. You may cry :)..have a few seconds to yourself.

If anyone ever sees this comment, and is willing to read it, i thank you with all my heart...
I've been looking for this music for a very long time now... And now i can finally stop the search of this masterpiece...
Every time i hear or listen to this music, i just, don't know how to feel... It makes me happy, but also sad, and mostly proud of myself...
it's like i'm in another world, like if i'm watching my whole life again... To see how amazing my life has been...
It's like if you died, and this song started playing, then you would start to walk through memories, everything such as youtube, moments with your family, your friends, all the games you played, all the places you went to, your whole life at school, all the good times with your dog...
This is what this song makes me think of, and when i listen to it, i always see myself being in heaven, with my parents, my dog and my friends (and even my favorite characters) finally at peace, looking up at the blue sky in a windy green hill, telling myself how good of a life i had, how much of a good person i became, how much friendships i've made, how much of a bond i've made with characters, and how much i loved my family, friends and dog...
My sweet sweet family, friends and dog... I love them so much... 😭 I wouldn't be there without them...
And even you guys, the internet ! I met so many of you guys. You too are part of me, a part of my life !
Everyone around me, youtubers, music creators, sweet and kind people like you, it's because of you that i am who i am now today as a person. I would be either not typing this comment at this moment or even dead ! (i had some "depression" issues back then... But i got it through because of everthing, because of you, my family, friends, dog, internet, games, toys and characters :) )
I just have one wish, a wish of, when the time comes, to finally obtain true peace and happiness like every soul that went up there.
A wish that i will always be happy and proud of every seconds of my life (even the bad ones), and every second spent with everyone i ever met... (even characters too, i have big relationships with them, they are a part of me, each of them do...)
For now, i'll soon do my 3d animations studies in the city, leaving my parents' home. I hope everything will go as well as my entire life...
And it is as i'm writting this that, i go through a door, looking back and seeing little me waving goodbye...
"goodbye bud... thanks for everything... And enjoy your life to the fullest..."
If you took the time to read all of this, let me say bless you, and thank you so much for having a golden heart. I wish you only the best for you and may your future be as bring as the sun.
If you're less than 15, here's a little message for you: never give up on your dreams, be kind to others and they'll do the same to you, things don't last forever, so live your life to the fullest !
and if things go south, just know, there will always be light at the end of the dark tunnel...
@C.R.J.
there is two ways you can interpret this song
1. ''nice, relaxing music to calm the nerves and chill you out.''
2.
.
insanity, feeling of being trapped in a infinite cell, alone, and if you were to hear another living soul, you would feel relief from it all.

while playing this on loop, i stare at every detail in my room. almost a year spent here. when i enter this room for the first time, i never knew i will leave so many stories in its sides and corners:
the little rabbit doll i put on the shelf.
ten books i buy in this past year that lean calmly to one another.
the diamond shaped keychain that reflects the warm toned sunshine from the window.
the cute, random mirror-painting that painted by a friend. she rarely ever paint, but her giggles and curiosity to paint back then stays dear to me.
the purple stuffs i collect because i love the color.
the table clock i often bring to bathroom to make sure i'm not late for college.
the dust on everything i forgot to clean in a while.
the memory of how i have to take time to get used to it, to now i refer as one of the most comfortable place to be my genuine self.
here, every little things tell a silly story about me. and when the time arrives and i have to sleep on this room's tiny bed for the last time, have to tidy it for the last time, have to close the door for the last time, this music will be played in my mind.

Things this song makes you think about:
Space travel
Stars
The world ending somehow
Being the only person alive

Immense happiness
Immense pain
Numbness
