Superstar
Olympe Lyrics

In Olympe's song Superstar, the singer expresses feelings of being lost and aimless, but also of wanting to be admired and appreciated like a hero. The opening lines suggest a sense of confusion and displacement, with the singer feeling lost and adrift. However, they also suggest that those who know them well would not necessarily want their life instead.

The chorus then shifts towards a desire for recognition and fame, with the singer dreaming of being a superstar like those they see in the media. The repetition of "m'amuser, oublier" ("having fun, forgetting") reinforces the idea that this dream is mainly about escapism and finding joy and release in performing. The contrast between the mundane, empty everyday life described in the verses and the soaring, theatrical chorus creates a sense of yearning for something greater and more fulfilling.

The bridge touches on a darker element, with a warning that the people the singer is kind to may be carrying their own curses or misfortunes. This line suggests a certain weariness or disillusionment with social expectations and niceties, and maybe hints at the ways in which fame and success can bring their own dangers and hidden costs. However, the overall mood of the song is still one of longing and excitement at the prospect of being a superstar and shining bright.
