Lyrics:
Driven by a wish to be
and to be recognized
Time was short, the pressure great
everyone would be surprised
Today

Yet the road to her success
was shrouded in a mist
The principals would mock her
but she had to persist
Today

She will take a dive down from the moon
aiming at a peephole
letting go of all her fears
expecting that the trip would end

She held her breath and went out there
gave it everything she got
The silence following the act
was not at all what she had sought
but then

The room erupted violently
they were shouting out her name
she fell in to a bewildered daze
not knowing what`s real and what`s not

On this day a wall was built
the wall of opinions
separating her from those
who cared about her
but whose love do you really need
when love can be found everywhere
the question is not how much
but how many

Weeks went by
every step took her higher
before she could turn around
Her face was all over the wire
She only had to be there
she would own them with her show

A life running high
Things coming easy
A worldwide invitation
To any party of her choice

Hello, good day, wanna be on my show?
It will make you more popular than you ever know
All you have to do is let us find out some things about you
I promise I’ll be gentle
Come on now, what could be the harm?

Entering that world
Left the other one behind
But who can resist
The greatest fame and luxury you’ll find

Her name was printed in every morning paper
Every lens facing her way
Everybody wanted something from her
But no one asked if she was ok

“I’m sitting on my bed outside a thousand people scream my name
I lost myself along the way
All they see is the image that was made”

“Once it had meaning
now it’s all gone
and it all sounds the same”

A different state of mind, a different mind of the state

“As I step outside with a smile
Articles are made about what I wear
Where is the doorway I came in
I think I took a wrong turn somewhere
There used to be shadows
now all I see are flashes everywhere”

A different state of mind, a different mind of the state

Life running high
Things coming easy
A worldwide obligation
To let them hear her voice

She’s everybody’s property
Her whole life flashing before her fans
She thought she could control it
but it’s slipping out of her hands

Dissatisfied with what she got
A merry-go-round that wouldn’t stop
A dream of glitter and fame stripped down
A circus where she’s the clown
Every gaze locked on her shame
Strangers whispering her name

Praying they would leave her soon
She’d reached the dark side of the moon
The sun had shown its ugly face
The shadows gave a cool embrace
Nothing private, life invaded
personality had faded

Trust is nonexistent
It all boils down to need
Raise my status and I’ll love you
’til someone better comes along
Reality’s twisted
Black is now white
Nobody’s honest
There is no wrong or right

A life running low
the smallest life in the biggest room
No more approval
All swept away in the gloom

A breeze awakes the morning glow
A city draped in the light
As morning drives out the night
A poster faded on the wall
A memory lost in time
no one remembers the rhyme

She spent too long in the light
She gave herself away every night
Lost in the gigantic media show
She could not merely let it go

She opens and takes a step outside
no one is waiting for her
exactly like she’d prefer

She takes a breath
for no one but herself
She’s getting it back
The dream is back on track

She spent too long in the light
She gave herself away every night
Lost in the gigantic media show
She could not merely let it go
