| David Bowie – Star Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Look at the first verse. All these people are seemingly sacrificing all ot part of their lives for a greater cause. The subject who sings the song is sacrificing nothing to become a star but still feels he can make a difference yet he wants to appear that he is sacrificing "...I can do with the money, I'm so wiped out with things as they are...", ".. So inviting, so enticing to play the part. I could play the wild mutation As a rock and roll star...". No sacrifice only selfishness. Don't get caught up in the album. Contrary to what people say this is not an album about Ziggy Stardust (unlike Tommy which is an opera about the pinball wizard). Ziggy is a character in one of the songs but it its only a collection of songs. |
