Hologram Lyrics
I’m gonna let you down
Gonna toss you around
Gonna make you want everything you haven’t found
I’m gonna hold your hand
Then ask you to stand
Ten feet away
Oh it’s just like you said
I live in my head
I’m saving up all that I have ‘til I’m dead
It’s always the same
And never the same way
But oh if you don’t want me though
I’ll only want you more
I fall in love with hard to get
You know you’re just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
A virtual reality
I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me
I am taking up space I’m right out of place
I’m holding a half-hearted smile to your face
It’s pretty enough but watch out it fades away
Time is ticking so fast
Does anything last
Soon I will be just apart of your past
I’ll leave you with this
You hold on in blissful memories
Oh if you don’t want me though
I’ll only want you more
I fall in love with hard to get
You know you’re just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
A virtual reality
I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now
Now that you can see
I’m not, not what you make of me
I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now
Gonna toss you around
Gonna make you want everything you haven’t found
I’m gonna hold your hand
Then ask you to stand
Ten feet away
I live in my head
I’m saving up all that I have ‘til I’m dead
It’s always the same
And never the same way
I’ll only want you more
I fall in love with hard to get
You know you’re just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
A virtual reality
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me
I’m holding a half-hearted smile to your face
It’s pretty enough but watch out it fades away
Time is ticking so fast
Does anything last
Soon I will be just apart of your past
I’ll leave you with this
You hold on in blissful memories
I’ll only want you more
I fall in love with hard to get
You know you’re just like me
A mystery with nothing more to see
A virtual reality
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now
I’m not, not what you make of me
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now

A popsong about playin' hard to get.
Intimacy issues. Massive ones. BEST SONG EVER!
i agree about it being intimacy issues. this song to me is about wanting someone to love you, wanting someone to fall for you, but not allowing things to become intimate because well, you have intimacy issues.
don't think it's intimacy issues, just about always wanting what you don't have - something a lot of us experience with mediocre lovers. You think they're boring to be around until they don't want you.
Once i read her lines: "Now that you can see I’m not, not what you make of me" & "Oh i bet you want me now" my whole perception flipped. It seems that her whole song has been mimicking the words of her past lover. Maybe he gave her the label of being a hologram.
Then she says "I fall in love with hard to get You know you’re just like me a mystery with nothing more to see" Using the past lovers own words and exposing the act of him reflecting his personal views of himself or insecurities onto her. This is why she says "you know you're just like me" because she is trying to show that all of these words are actually him, although they have nothing to do with her at all.
Badass song.
