Lucky
Mathew V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Early morning she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
They say, its time for make-up
Perfect smile
It′s you they are waiting for
They say
And they say, she′s so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart
Thinking, if there is nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
Lost in an image in, in a dream
But there is no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning and she keeps on winning
But tell me
What happens when it stops
They say
Isn't she lovely, this hollywood girl
And they say, she′s so lucky, she′s a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart
Thinking, if there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
She′s so lucky
But why does she cry
And if there is nothing
Missing in her life
Why do tears come at night
And they say
She's so lucky, she′s a star
But she cries, she cries
Thinking if there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night
The lyrics to Mathew V's song "Lucky" are about a Hollywood girl who is admired and deemed as lucky by others, but struggles with loneliness and sadness behind the scenes. The song starts off with the girl waking up early and being prepared for her day - with makeup and a perfect smile - as people eagerly wait for her. However, despite the admiration she receives, she cries at night and feels lost in an image of herself that she cannot escape. The chorus repeats the phrase "Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl" and "They say she's so lucky, she's a star" but questions why she still cries if nothing is missing in her life.
The song highlights the concept of loneliness in the midst of fame and fortune. The singer is seemingly successful and living a life that many aspire to, but she feels incomplete and struggles with emotions that are deemed unexpected. The lyrics are powerful in conveying the internal struggles that fame may bring and how it may not necessarily fill the void of personal happiness.
