The Right Profession
Hospitality Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No one really knows
The price of fame
Put it on your pocket
Staring at the wall
Same old job
The right profession
I don’t wanna dream up
… as one before
Status change
Status change
Tearing up your shoes

Tearing your clothes
Count to 4 and ruin your position
. is not the right profession
Staring at the radio . trash
Now she is . far too .




Is hard to change
Is hard to change

Overall Meaning

The Right Profession by Hospitality is a song that ponders on the price of fame and the hardships that come with it. The lyrics "No one really knows the price of fame" suggests that many people strive for fame without truly understanding what it entails. The line "Put it on your pocket" may refer to the idea of fame being something that is easily attainable and can be carried around in one's pocket. However, the lyricist seems to question whether it is worth it, as indicated by the line "Tearing up your shoes, tearing your clothes". The repetition of the phrase "Status change" emphasizes the idea of fame being a status symbol that people desire, but also highlights the changes that come with it.


The song also touches on the idea of being stuck in a mundane job, which is referred to as "the right profession". This could be seen as a commentary on society's expectations and pressure to have a successful career, even if it may not be fulfilling. The line "I don’t wanna dream up as one before" suggests a desire for something different and unique, rather than conforming to societal norms. The lyric "Count to 4 and ruin your position" implies that a person's position in life can be easily disrupted, even by small actions. The focus on staring at the radio and hearing "trash" could be seen as a critique on the media, and how it perpetuates certain ideals and ideas.
