This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
You're the queen of your own little
World, you really made a splash
Got the offers rollin' in but you're
Nothing more than high paid trash
Everybody wants to know what goes
On in your head
Pity if they found out that you're lonely
In your bed
Maybe it all happened to you just a
Little too fast
Won't let anybody touch you
So you do it for yourself
Plain to see there's a woman
Cryin' out for help
You're a superstar, but
You don't know who you are
And your money won't
Get you very far
You're a mystery,
Nothing can set you free
Your demons haunt you endlessly
You face the end of your youth in a tired
Little masquerade
You talk to people with a tongue like a
Newly sharpened razor blade
Yours is not a life that lets you take a
Look inside
Morals and convictions meet a fate of
Genocide
But in the end you'll be sleeping in the
Bed you made
All you want's a daddy
The one you never had
A need for understanding
Aching in your head
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your money won't get you very far
You're a mystery, it seems so clear to me
There's something that you'd rather be
Take a look around you now
Before it's much too late
Make the choice to change
Or be a victim of your fate
All your life you've been
Running from the girl inside
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your fame won't get you very far
You're a mystery, oh but it's plain to see
There's someone that you'd rather be
World, you really made a splash
Got the offers rollin' in but you're
Nothing more than high paid trash
Everybody wants to know what goes
On in your head
Pity if they found out that you're lonely
In your bed
Maybe it all happened to you just a
Little too fast
Won't let anybody touch you
So you do it for yourself
Plain to see there's a woman
Cryin' out for help
You're a superstar, but
You don't know who you are
And your money won't
Get you very far
You're a mystery,
Nothing can set you free
Your demons haunt you endlessly
You face the end of your youth in a tired
Little masquerade
You talk to people with a tongue like a
Newly sharpened razor blade
Yours is not a life that lets you take a
Look inside
Morals and convictions meet a fate of
Genocide
But in the end you'll be sleeping in the
Bed you made
All you want's a daddy
The one you never had
A need for understanding
Aching in your head
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your money won't get you very far
You're a mystery, it seems so clear to me
There's something that you'd rather be
Take a look around you now
Before it's much too late
Make the choice to change
Or be a victim of your fate
All your life you've been
Running from the girl inside
You're a superstar, but you don't know
Who you are
And your fame won't get you very far
You're a mystery, oh but it's plain to see
There's someone that you'd rather be

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
