Lucky
Michelle Simonal Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a story about a girl named Lucky
Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for make-up, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for
They go
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?
Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's 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 go
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?
Best actress, and the winner is Lucky
I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News standing outside the arena waiting for Lucky
Oh my god here she comes
Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
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 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 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?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Michelle Simonal's song "Lucky" tell the story of a girl named Lucky who appears to have it all - fame, fortune, and success in Hollywood. However, despite the image she presents to the world, Lucky feels alone and incomplete. As the lyrics repeat, "If there's nothing missing in my life, then why do these tears come at night?" Lucky's celebrity status and accomplishments do not bring her the happiness she desires.

The song highlights the pressure that many in the entertainment industry face to maintain a certain image and the toll it can take on their mental well-being. The repetition of the phrase "isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?" emphasizes the superficiality of the industry's perception of Lucky and the loneliness that comes with such an image. The chorus of the song, with Lucky being labeled as "so lucky" while crying in her "lonely heart," contrasts the façade of perfection often projected in Hollywood with the reality of the emotional struggles that may be hidden behind it.

Overall, "Lucky" is a poignant commentary on the dangers of putting too much emphasis on external success and how that can mask inner turmoil.
