Hollywood
RAC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not telling you again what you need
It's just a slap around
To make everything stoṗ and cure the fall
When you come back down
I'm not everything you want

I'm just a tease
Maybe a matter of touch
You could tell me what you want, I'll give it to you
Maybe you think to much

Cause you're Hollywood, you never should
We never talk anymore
With your high heels on
You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore

I'm so sick and tired of everyone telling you what you want
I could never keep track who's gonna come
When you start waving your magic wand
And you seem to forget everything that you said
Before you had it written for you
There's too much going on that you need to belong to
It's the only thing you know how to do

Cause you're Hollywood, another world
You made it all on your own
With your high heels on
You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore

You went to Hollywood to make it

Hollywood, you never should
We never talk anymore
With your high heels on
You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore
Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,

Not your friend anymore,




Not your friend anymore,
Not your friend anymore,

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to RAC feat. Penguin Prison's song "Hollywood" speak to the superficiality and isolation of the entertainment industry, particularly in the city of Los Angeles. The opening lines, "I'm not telling you again what you need/It's just a slap around/To make everything stop and cure the fall/When you come back down" suggest that the singer is tired of trying to explain the right path to the person they are addressing and that a wake-up call is needed to make them see reality. The next lines, "I'm not everything you want/I'm just a tease/Maybe a matter of touch/You could tell me what you want, I'll give it to you/Maybe you think too much" continue this tone of frustration, indicating that the person they are addressing is too caught up in their own aspirations to see what is truly important.


The chorus of the song, "Cause you're Hollywood, you never should/We never talk anymore/With your high heels on/You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore" reinforces the message of the verses, that the entertainment industry and the city of Los Angeles it is centered around can be isolating and damaging to personal relationships. The image of the person in Hollywood with their high heels on, killing the sun, speaks to the idea of someone so focused on their own success that they are blind to the destruction they leave in their wake.


Overall, the lyrics to "Hollywood" are a commentary on the superficiality and isolation that can come with pursuing fame and success in Los Angeles' entertainment industry.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm not telling you again what you need
I won't repeat what you already know


It's just a slap around
A reality check to snap out of it


To make everything stop and cure the fall
To prevent a bad situation from getting worse


When you come back down
After experiencing a high, or after things go wrong


I'm not everything you want
I have limitations, I can't fulfill all your desires


I'm just a tease
I might give you a taste, but won't fully commit


Maybe a matter of touch
Maybe it just needs a little tweaking


You could tell me what you want, I'll give it to you
Your wish is my command


Maybe you think too much
Maybe you're overanalyzing, just go with the flow


'Cause you're Hollywood, you never should
'Cause you're high and mighty, but it's not a good thing


We never talk anymore
Our relationship has changed, we're not as close


With your high heels on
With your powerful persona, your image


You kill the sun, I'm not your friend anymore
You overshadow me, you've changed and I don't like it anymore


I'm so sick and tired of everyone telling you what you want
I'm fed up with everyone catering to your every whim


I could never keep track who's gonna come
I can't predict who you'll bring into the picture


When you start waving your magic wand
When you start making things happen, using your influence


And you seem to forget everything that you said
And you don't stay true to your word


Before you had it written for you
Before you had someone write your story for you


There's too much going on that you need to belong to
There's too much pressure to fit in with the crowd


It's the only thing you know how to do
It's the only way you know how to survive in this world


'Cause you're Hollywood, another world
'Cause you're living in a bubble, detached from reality


You made it all on your own
You achieved success through your own efforts


You went to Hollywood to make it
You went to pursue your dreams, to become a star


Not your friend anymore,
Our bond is broken


Not your friend anymore,
We're not close like we used to be


Not your friend anymore,
I don't feel the same way about you


Not your friend anymore,
We've grown apart


Not your friend anymore,
Our friendship is a thing of the past


Not your friend anymore,
I've had enough and I'm moving on

I'm starting to love RAC remixes and I'm in the perfect mood for this. Thank you RAC and Majestic Casual!

@caponepalone7266

This was the song that made Majestic Casual gain a little bit of fame, being the only song on their channel in 2012 that made it to 500k views.

@papa_sweep7335

I used to sing the chorus to my best friend when he did something silly.
He died last month in a car crash. You have no idea how sad I am.
