I sold out Radio City, but I'm not on the radio 00:15
Kinda bruises my ego watchin' the other pop girls 00:20
Skyrocket to the moon, is it cold up there too? 00:23
Does bein' a star give you a wider view? 00:27
I know it sounds like I'm jaded, but I just think that it's stupid 00:31
That we put humans on pedestals and expect them not to lose it 00:35
Shoutin' in the abyss, now you think I'm a bitch 00:39

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh

Oh-oh

I sold out Radio City, but I'm not on the radio

Kinda bruises my ego watchin' the other pop girls

Skyrocket to the moon, is it cold up there too?

Does bein' a star give you a wider view?

I know it sounds like I'm jaded, but I just think that it's stupid

That we put humans on pedestals and expect them not to lose it

Shoutin' in the abyss, now you think I'm a bitch

Then why you blowin' a kiss? Why do I care about it?

Hi, everyone, leave please

I need a moment to myself

Hi, everyone, leave please

I need a moment to say

I'm not really dramatic, but if you knew me in private

You'd know I branded the chaos, but I prefer being in silence

So I go to the studio, dump it out in the writing

Now I don't know what to say, fuck my life

Now the internet's talkin' and everybody's dissectin'

Tryna invalidate me and all the love I'm expressin'

Now I feel insecure, it's not the same anymore

Fuck, I'm feeling the pressure, can I cry?

Hi, everyone, leave please

I need a moment to myself

Hi, everyone, leave please (leave please)

I need a moment to say

Bye to who I've been

Hi to who I'm next

I just need a moment to myself

I need a moment to myself

(Bye to who I've been), oh-oh

(Hi to who I'm next), I need a moment to myself

Ooh-ooh

I need a moment to say

Bye to who I've been

Hi to who I'm next

I just need a moment to myself, ooh-ooh

Bye to who I've been

Hi to who I'm next

I just need a moment to myself

  • Does bein' a star give you a wider view?

    ➔ Gerund as Subject

    "Bein'" is an informal pronunciation of "being," which is a gerund. Here, the gerund phrase "being a star" functions as the subject of the sentence.

  • I know it sounds like I'm jaded, but I just think that it's stupid

    ➔ Subordinate Clauses (comparison and noun clause)

    ➔ This sentence uses two subordinate clauses: "like I'm jaded" (a clause of comparison following "sounds like") and "that it's stupid" (a noun clause functioning as the object of "think").

  • That we put humans on pedestals and expect them not to lose it

    ➔ Negative Infinitive

    ➔ The phrase "not to lose it" demonstrates the negative infinitive, formed by placing "not" before the "to-infinitive." It expresses what is *not* expected.

    ➔ Present Continuous & Informal Reduction

  • Bye to who I've been / Hi to who I'm next
