Larger Than Life
NKOTBSB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're screamin' my name, alright
But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
All of our time spent in flashes of light
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Looking at the crowd
And I see your body sway, c'mon
Wishin' I could thank you in a different way, c'mon
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
All of your time spent keeps us alive
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life
Yeah, every time we're down
Yeah, you can make it right
Yeah, and that's what makes you larger than life
All you people can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger
That makes you larger
That makes you larger than life
The lyrics of NKOTBSB's song Larger Than Life are an expression of the complex relationship between celebrities and their fans. While the chorus repeatedly recognizes the impact that fans have on celebrities' lives, the opening verses reveal the price of fame that these artists often pay. The lyrics "I may run and hide, when you're screaming my name," refer to the overwhelming nature of fame and the need for artists to sometimes distance themselves from their celebrity status. Despite this wariness, the lyrics suggest that the adoration from fans is what drives these celebrities, even to the point of keeping them alive. The lines "All of our time spent, in flashes of light," symbolize the fleeting nature of fame, as well as the intense spotlight that illuminates the lives of celebrities.
The chorus of the song speaks directly to the fans, acknowledging the power they hold in affecting the reality of their idols. The lyrics "How your love's affecting our reality, Every time we're down, You can make it right," emphasizes the emotional support that fans provide the celebrities. The repeated phrase "larger than life" reinforces the idea that these fans hold an elevated status in the lives of their idols.
Overall, the song expresses a complex interplay between the celebrity and their fans, recognizing the pressures and rewards associated with fame. The lyrics encourage a symbiotic relationship, where fandom is not just about adoration, but also understanding and support.
