Hollywood Lyrics

I was looking forward to see where I was going
But I don't know if I can make it, no, I don't know if I could
Think I'm gonna try in Hollywood

Well, I had to find my way by looking at the city
I don't know if I can fake it if they tell me I'm no good
I think I'm gonna fry in Hollywood

Well, I'm a man, I was brought up right
I said my prayers every night since 1995
And I pray, God help me, I've done the best I could
But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

So I found the best advice, go and get a job
But I don't know if I can take it 'cause I never understood
How everybody lies in Hollywood

And somewhere, I lost my mind, it's never coming back
And I don't know if I can make it and I don't know if I should
I think I'll say goodbye to Hollywood

Well, I'm a man, I was brought up right
I said my prayers every night since 1995
And I pray, God help me, I've done the best I could
But I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood
I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood
Think I'm gonna die in Hollywood

What is the Meaning of Hollywood?

Navigating the glitz and glamour of the entertainment world can be overwhelming, and this song captures that struggle perfectly. Tobias Jesso Jr. sings about the dream of making it in the iconic city of Hollywood, only to find himself grappling with doubt, disillusionment, and the harsh realities of the industry. Despite his earnest efforts and moral upbringing, he feels lost and out of place in a world where deceit is commonplace. The repeated line, "I think I'm gonna die in Hollywood," underscores his deep-seated fear of failure and his sense of existential crisis. It’s a poignant reflection on chasing dreams and the cost it can have on one’s soul. #HollywoodStruggles #DreamsAndDisillusionment
