IDOL
P.D.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will I be alone this morning?
Will I need my friends?
Something just to ease away the pain
And now I never see the loneliness
Behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my faith

If I could only stand and stare in the mirror would I see
One fallen hero with a face like me
And if I scream, could anybody hear me
If I smash the silence, you'll see what fame has done to me

Kiss away the pain and leave me lonely
I'll never know if love's a lie
Ooh - being crazy in paradise is easy
Can you see the prisoners in my eyes
Where is the love to shelter me
Give me love, love set me free
Where is the love, to shelter me




Only love, love set me free
Set me free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of P.D.S.'s song "Idol" reflect on the loneliness and hardship that fame brings, and the struggle to maintain one's true identity amidst the expectations and pressures of society. The opening lines of the song convey the singer's fear of being alone and the need for companionship to overcome the pain they feel. However, it is evident that this loneliness is not just external but also internal, as the singer mentions being a prisoner to their faith. This conveys a sense of feeling trapped and unable to escape their own inner struggles and conflicts.


The second stanza juxtaposes the image of a fallen hero with the singer's own reflection. This suggests that even idols and stars who are typically admired and celebrated by society, can be vulnerable and suffer from their own struggles. The question of whether anyone would hear the singer if they screamed also brings attention to the isolation that can come with fame, as it can be difficult for individuals to truly connect with others on a genuine level.


The chorus of the song highlights the singer's struggle with love and their search for inner peace. They mention being crazy in paradise, which reveals the idea that fame may seem glamorous from the outside, but can lead to a sense of entrapment and loneliness on the inside. The reference to the prisoners in their eyes further emphasizes this, as it suggests that the singer is trapped within themselves and their own struggles. The final lines of the chorus ask for love to set them free, conveying the idea that love is the only way to truly be liberated from one's inner turmoil and find peace.

Watching this in 2022, 4 years later. Wow time really flies, they really grew and achieved so much since then. Can't wait for their new album release, PROOF, and their title track, YET TO COME, on June 10th. I know it'll be iconic
