The lyrics to KOHH's song SUPER STAR are about the idea that fame and fortune does not necessarily equate to happiness or satisfaction. The song talks about how the singer prefers spending time with friends at their homes or watching DVDs instead of going to fancy clubs or hotels. He also talks about the superficiality of some relationships and how despite being famous and successful, he is still just one in billions of people. However, despite all this, he is still referred to as a superstar.
The opening lines of the song suggest that while some people may enjoy drinking at clubs or staying at luxury hotels, the singer finds satisfaction in simple pleasures like spending time with friends and watching DVDs. He also expresses his desire to live life on his own terms even if it means being selfish sometimes. The verse about waking up and checking Instagram and Line also portrays the idea of social media being a distraction and the reluctance to engage in mundane conversations with friends. The chorus of the song reiterates the fact that despite not being particularly special, the singer is still referred to as a superstar.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the nature of fame and success and how it does not necessarily guarantee happiness or fulfillment. The singer is content with his modest desires and prefers to stay grounded despite his fame.
