My Advice
Trevor Wesley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just a young girl living in the city
Fresh on her own so her money
Goes quickly
She's hoping that she'll make a move
Based on the fact that she's beautiful
If i went out, i took her with me
Introduced her to all the cats
That rolled with me, she came across a micracle someone with a heart of gold

I had my best interest in her
But she didnt take my advice, my advice
She didnt take my advice,
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didnt take my advice, my advice
She didnt take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didnt take...

I went down her hand that took her straight to the top of her game,
Now she's blinded by the flashing lights
And prest by the superficial things (o-o-o)
She kept hanging with all the wrong guys
Messing with indecent men that she thought were alright
At the end of the day she got caught up in the life and was left with a broken soul
Cause she didnt take my advice, my advice
She didnt take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem
She didnt take my advice, my advice
She didnt take my advice
The city of dreams are all that they seem

She didnt take
O-o-o-h-h-h

Overall Meaning

Trevor Wesley's song "My Advice" follows the story of a young girl who moves to the city with hope and ambition, hoping to make it big based on her beauty. She meets the singer of the song, who takes her under his wing and introduces her to new people, but she eventually ignores his advice and becomes blinded by the superficial aspects of fame and fortune. Despite his best efforts to steer her towards a more positive path, she becomes involved with the wrong people and ends up with a "broken soul."

The lyrics in "My Advice" comment on the disillusionment that can often come with chasing your dreams in the entertainment industry. The singer of the song appears to be more experienced and knowledgeable about the pitfalls of fame, while the young girl is more naive and hopeful. The city of dreams (Los Angeles) is presented as both alluring and dangerous, with many people getting caught up in the wrong crowd or becoming jaded by materialism.

In general, "My Advice" serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring sound advice, chasing fame for the wrong reasons, and surrounding oneself with toxic influences. The lyrics are written in a conversational tone that conveys the singer's disappointment and sadness, but also his underlying hope that the young girl will learn from her mistakes.
