"Rockstar" is a blusie/rock ballad, that tells the story of what happens to a rockstar who wants fame and fortune for fame and fortune’s sake and loses sight of what is important and real! -N.
He dreamed of being a “Rockstar”
Fans swooning at his feet
Leading a charmed highlife
And feeling so elite
It was never for the right reasons
Just for money, girls and fame
And he wonders why he’s lonely
And all he feels is pain
His life’s an illusion from the outside
Gorgeous house and pretty wife
And it looks like he’s on top of the world
That he’s really conquered this life
But when you start to believe
All the wonderful things
Folks who don’t know ya say
It’ll warp you and twist you
And your morals start to stray
Chorus:
You wonder why you’re empty
And what’s missing from your life
And why the smoke and the booze just ain’t workin’
And how your best friend took off with your wife
Someone should’ve told you years ago
About all you’re gonna lose
When you sacrifice your life
At the alter of your ambitions
Yeah he’s achieved his dream but he’s lost the one
Who truly loved him for himself
Not some fantasy demi God on the stage
A pretty trophy for her shelf
He pushed away the ones he knew who
Could’ve kept him grounded at his peak
Now his life is smoke and mirrors
Betrayal and deceit
Chorus:
You wonder why you’re empty
And what’s missing from your life
And why the smoke and the booze just ain’t workin’
And how your best friend took off with your wife
Someone should’ve told you years ago
About all you’re gonna lose
When you sacrifice your life
At the alter of your ambitions
Arriving at the top and makin’ it big
Was his only plan
It’s a shame he doesn’t get it
Or that he’ll never understand
(Ah) God boy what’s it gonna take
For you open your eyes and see
It’s a problem when
You lose sight of the fact
“It’s” not all about “Me”
Chorus:
You wonder why you’re empty
And what’s missing from your life
And why the smoke and the booze just ain’t workin’
And how your best friend took off with your wife
Someone should’ve told you years ago
About all you’re gonna lose
When you sacrifice your life
At the alter of your ambitions
