Rock Star
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the school hallway
Just to get next to you
Some days I spend a little extra
Time in the morning
Just to impress you
Guess you don't notice
Sad you're not seein' what you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dyin' to say
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
Sometimes I wish when the phone rings
That it would be you
Saying let's hang out
Then you confess
That there's something special between us
Why don't we find out
But you don't know me
Guess you don't need me
Why you're not seein' what you're missin'
On the outside shyin' away
On the inside dyin' to say
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a
Rock star
If you only knew the real me
I might even be a rock star
I'm telling you that we are meant to be
Now wouldn't it be nice if you could see
That I really am a rock star
I'm unusual
Not so typical
Way too smart to be waiting around
Tai chi practicing
Snowboard champion
I could fix the flat on your car
I might even be a rock star
The lyrics of Miley Cyrus's song Rock Star describe a young girl's unrequited love for someone who seems too preoccupied with appearances to notice her. She speaks of her efforts to impress this person, spending extra time getting ready in the morning and walking a little faster in the school hallway just to be near him. Despite her efforts, he doesn't seem to notice her, much less appreciate her for who she is on the inside. The line "On the outside shyin' away, on the inside dyin' to say" captures how the girl's shyness keeps her from expressing her feelings, even as she longs for a deeper connection with this person.
The girl describes herself as "unusual" and "not so typical," highlighting her unique qualities and interests. She practices tai chi and snowboards, and she even boasts that she could fix the flat on his car. The girl dreams of being recognized as a "rock star" and wishes that the person she loves could see her for who she truly is – someone special and deserving of attention.
Overall, Rock Star is a song that speaks to the longing we all feel to be understood and appreciated for who we are. It captures the yearning of youth and the pain of unrequited love, all while celebrating the unique qualities that make each of us special.
