I'd Rather Die Than Be Famous Lyrics

Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
Come on Holly put the gun down for me
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
They're tryin' to take it from us, they're tryin' to take it from us
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You're so pretty when you dress for the grave

Love me as you lay
Dizzy and falling your legs dangling
Although accidents happen, they happen to me
Try to forget the beginning and end

Forget the world without removing the glass from your lips
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
They're tryin' to take it from us, they're tryin' to take it from us
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
The sun's comin' up and we're still awake

Am I the trigger of your gun
Your pretty eyes don't give me much choice
But I'll take them home
I've done some thinkin' of my own
And when I come home
I want to be done, don't want to be famous no more

Leave that girl alone
My teenage heart-attack keeps talking back
Keeps talking back to her
And I can't pretend that off this balcony
We wouldn't want to jump off of it
And put an end to this
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
You love money and the sex in your veins
Call the police, this whole place is gonna burn
Doll up and sleep walk
Until we have some teeth marks
Narcotic sweet talk
Until we have some teeth marks
This whole place is gonna burn.

What is the Meaning of I'd Rather Die Than Be Famous?

Ever feel like the chaos around you is too much to handle? This song dives deep into the struggles of fame and the darker sides of life. It paints a vivid picture of someone overwhelmed by external pressures—money, sex, and societal expectations. The repeated call to "call the police" suggests a desperate cry for help amidst impending disaster. There's also a sense of disillusionment with fame, as if it's something that corrupts and destroys rather than uplifts. The imagery of accidents, dangling legs, and thoughts of jumping off a balcony highlight feelings of hopelessness and entrapment. Ultimately, it’s about wanting to escape from this toxic cycle and find peace away from the spotlight.
