1… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists that have performed under the name Liz:
1) Elizabeth Abrams, known professionally as Liz (stylized in all caps or LIZ Y2K), is an American singer and songwriter from California. She effortlessly adopts modern R&B's glossiest melodies and subtly infuses the street banger to create tasteful post-ratchet lollipop sounds. Guided by some of music's most progressive curators, LIZ thrives in the grey area between serious artistry and the kitsch thinking production. The resulting aesthetic has no need to proclaim itself as genuine or honest In the end, we see an artist that's quite frank in reminding us that music should simply make us feel good. LIZ unapologetically displays a thoughtful play on Y2K R&B Pop with shades of forward.

LIZ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in
On the back of a pickup
And he won't leave town
'Til you remember his name
In a long line of heroes
Looking for some lonely billboard to grace
They say he sprung from the skull of Athena
Think about your own head
And the headache he gave
He's just a hero
In a long line of heroes
Looking for action at a price he can pay
They say he's famous
But no one can prove it
Make him an offer just to see what he'll say
Check out the dashboard lights
Glowing all green and white
He feels safe in the dark
He wears his bluejeans tight
He's just a hero
In a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in
On the back of a pickup
And he won't leave town
'Til you remember his name
Check out the thinning hair
Check out the aftershave
Check out America
You're looking at it babe
The lyrics in Liz Phair's "Soap Star Joe" describe a character who embodies the image of a stereotypical hero: someone strong, confident and heroic who swoops in to save the damsel-in-distress. He rides into town on the back of a pickup truck, looking for something attractive to save and a lonely billboard to grace. He does all this in the hope of becoming famous, but even though he's rumored to be famous, nobody can prove it. The song's lyrics do not paint a flattering portrait of the hero; instead, it highlights his self-centered attitude and constant need for attention.
The song can also be interpreted as a critique of the shallow nature of the entertainment industry, where individuals like Soap Star Joe seek fame, fortune and attention. The line "Check out America, you're looking at it babe" suggests that the entertainment industry is not just limited to Soap Star Joe but also includes the audience that feeds into this celebrity-obsessed culture.
Overall, "Soap Star Joe" is a biting commentary on the nature of the entertainment industry and those who seek to make a name for themselves within it.
