Limelight
Shamra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dripping from me like Ford motors
Sucked in cheeks and short sleeve skirts
All season long
I think I deserve an apology
No one ever said you had to look at me
Limelight shines on the girls
Who are far too sexy
Limelight shine on a girl
Who feels far from sexy
Aren't I the perfect poser
Box step with a streamlined smirk
The legs are long
I think I deserve an apology
No one ever said you had to look at me
Limelight shines on the girls
Who are far too sexy




Limelight shine on a girl
Who feels far from sexy

Overall Meaning

Shamra's song "Limelight" is a commentary on the beauty standards set by society for women. The singer starts by talking about how she is dripping with beauty, like Ford motors, and her fashion choices that she made all season long - which seems like she put a lot of effort into her appearance. She then expresses her frustration with the fact that she feels like she deserves an apology because no one ever said that people have to look at her. This highlights the pressure that women feel to look perfect and be in the limelight, even when they don't necessarily want to.


The chorus then describes how the limelight shines on the girls who are sexy, and she questions why it can't shine on the girls who feel far from sexy. She knows that she is the perfect poser with her streamlined smirk and long legs, but she still feels like she deserves an apology for not being seen for who she is. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the societal pressure for women to fit into a specific beauty standard.


Overall, Shamra's "Limelight" provides a powerful message about the pressure that women feel to look perfect in society. It highlights the double standards that exist and encourages people to see beyond someone's appearance and into their true self.
