Hollywood Lyrics

As time was ticking, we were winning
And it all was going as planned
Politicians stand between the
Lines of making headlines
Street signs saying
"You're going the wrong way"
Fading faster now

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone
Don't forget to
Hold back your thoughts
And live like robots
'Cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone
We're gone, so gone

Fallen soldiers all around us
But we're still standing strong
Embarrassing and contradicting
'Cause now we're making
Headlines, primetime
Saying, "What a story!"
Billboards, packed tours
Don't forget

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone
(We're gone)
Don't forget to
Hold back your thoughts
And live like robots
'Cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone
We're gone, so gone

And game over, you're done
(Baby, you're done; baby, you're done)
Out of left field we won
(We won, we won)
Pack our bags
Yeah, we'll run
(We're gonna run, yeah, we're gonna run)
Hollywood, here we come

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone
And don't forget to
Hold back your thoughts
And live like robots
'Cause we all know what goes on
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone
We're gone

You can try to break us
And make us fall apart
But the fire's in our hearts
Reminisce on memories
'Cause we're gone

Wow no comments? This is an extremely good song. Also veryyy mature of the jonas brothers.

What I get from this song is that you can't crash and burn them in any way because they have a passion for whatever you're trying to stop them from doing. And they're saying "live like robots" meaning, don't show your emotions and don't tell people what you're up to so that they can't correct and stop you from doing what you love.

wow, i LOVE this song, and them.

what i think they're tyring to get across is like that they have no time left really for the close friends because there going on like tours and all, but they always have them in there hearts, and they're always thinking of them.

i LLOOVVEE this song. its like a reminder to themselves and everyone else to stay true to yourself no matter who tries to change you and that there is no way to stop them b/c they have a passion for what theyre doing!

This song is about the boys growing up in Hollywood. When they changed record companies " Reminisce on Memories 'cause we're gone" is to their old company and pretty self explanatory i think.

" hold back your thoughts and live like robots" is to all the bands who do what other people say and not write the music for themselves, living like robots is like stating they are just like a manufactured piece by their record company.

Pretty much this entire song is stating how the Jonas Brothers are their own band, who make their own music and you can try to bash them or do whatever, but their going to strive until they're at the top.

this song is about how columbia records terminated their contract by thinking there is never gonna be something of them, so they signed for hollywood records and now they are huge

One of their best, it's great, and everyone pretty much said what it means..

As time was ticking, we were winning And it all was going as planned Politicians stand between the lines Of making headlines Street signs saying, "You're going the wrong way" Fading faster now

TO ME THE FIRST PARAGRAPH MEANS THEY WERE GETTING WHAT THEY'D ALWAYS WANTED, AN ALBUM RELEASED HIGH SOCIETY AND PUBLICITY AND FAME. AND HOW THE POLITICIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT WERE DECIDING HOW PEOPLE HAD TO LIVE AND ACT TELLING PEOPLE WHAT TO THINK AND BELIEVE.

Fallen soldiers all around us But we're still standing strong Embarrassing and contradicting Cause now we're making headlines, primetime Saying, "What a story!" Billboards, packed tours Don't forget

EVEN THOUGH THE WAR IS GOING ON THEY'RE STILL GETTING ALL OF THE PUBLICITY AND LIVING THE DREAM, GOING ON TOUR SOLD OUT SHOWS, BILLBOARDS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND THEY'RE TELLING THEIR STORY YET THE PEOPLE WHO ARE FIGHTING TO MAKE A BETTER TOMORROW ARE BEING PUSHED ASIDE.

And game over, you're done (Baby, you're done; baby, you're done) Out of left field we won (We won, we won) Pack our bags Yeah, we'll run (We're gonna run; yeah, we're gonna run) Hollywood, here we come

THIS BASICALLY IS SAYING THAT THEY'RE NOT BEATEN AND NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDIA IS SAYING THEY'RE STRONGER THAN THEM. FINALLY, THE CHORUS

You can try to break us And make us fall apart But the fire's in our hearts Reminisce on memories, cause we're gone (We're gone) Don't forget to hold back your thoughts And live like robots Cause we all know what goes on Reminisce on memories, cause we're gone We're gone, so gone

BASICALLY IT'S SAYING (TO ME) THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE MEDIA SAYS OR DOES THEY'RE STRONGER AND THEY'RE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE DOING THAT THEY WILL NOT BE BROKEN AND WILL REMAIN TO BE AS WHOLE AND ASSURED AS THEY ARE NOW. "Reminisce on memories, cause we're gone (We're gone) Don't forget to hold back your thoughts And live like robots"

AS IT WAS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED I DO BELIEVE THAT THE QUOTED PART OF THE CHORUS REFERS TO THEIR DEPARTURE FROM THEIR OLD RECORD COMPANY AND THE SECOND PART IS ABOUT THE BANDS WHO DON'T RIGHT FOR THEMSELVES AND WILL BE EXACTLY WHAT THE RECORD COMPANIES AND MEDIA TELLS THEM TO BE (THIS COULD ALSO REFER TO A WIDER SCALE ABOUT CELEBRITIES IN GENERAL BEING MEDIA PUPPETS)

I think this song is about how they can avoid the temptations of Hollywood because they have a true passion in what they do, "the fire's in our hearts." They say that show business can try to make them fall apart, but they'll stay strong. And in the end, their passion is what will separate them from the rest of the crowd. When they sing, "Don't forget to hold back your thoughts/And live like robotsCause we all know what goes on," I think that they are sarcastically saying that everybody believes what they hear and don't wait for an explanation.

So, yeah, thats what I think :)
