famous yet
Ryan Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tell me are you famous yet?
Tell me all the faces we should know
And tell me are you confident?
Wrong way down
Everyone was watching us
But you were way too proud
Everyone was calling us
But we were way to loud
Tell me all the places we should go
And tell me are you confident?
Tell me all the faces we could know
Tell me are we famous yet?
Wrong way down
We should build a castle of a castle in a cloud
Wrong way out
Lucifer was calling us
But we were way too loud
Oh
Oh
Oh
Ooh
Tell me all the places we could go
And tell me are you famous yet?
Ryan Star's song "Famous Yet" is a commentary on the desire for fame and the price that comes with it. The opening lines "Tell me all the places we could go, and tell me are you famous yet?" sets the tone for the song. The singer is asking his partner if they can travel the world together and become famous, questioning whether or not they have achieved fame yet.
The lyrics "wrong way down, everyone was watching us, but you were way too proud. Wrong way out, everyone was calling us, but we were way too loud" depicts the harsh reality of the entertainment industry where one's every move is scrutinized and judged. The imagery of going the wrong way down and out is a metaphor for the pressure to conform and the temptation to be loud and make a statement, even if it means going against the norm. The line "Lucifer was calling us, but we were way too loud" suggests that the pursuit of fame can easily lead one astray.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the price one pays for fame and the desire to live life to its fullest potential. The lyrics convey a sense of rebellion against societal norms and pressures, while also highlighting the consequences that come with being in the public eye.
