I Wanna Be a Warhol Lyrics

I wanna be a little piece of history (let's go)
I wanna be a painting for all to see (let's go)
Take a trip, take a big hand full of these (and swallow)
Just a headache, a fuzzy memory (tomorrow)

I wanna be a Warhol
Hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol
Displayed on your wall
Hung up there staring back at you
Staring back at you

Give me a taste of your misery (let's go)
Won't you please come play chemistry? (and sorrow)
I can't believe anything that you're telling me (let's go)
The walls are closing in and melting (nice and slow)

I wanna be a Warhol
Hanging on your wall
You down there looking up at me
I wanna be a Warhol
Displayed on your wall
Hung up there staring back at you
Staring back at you

I wanna be a Warhol
Hanging on your wall
Staring down at you
I wanna be a Warhol
Displayed on your wall
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you
Still hung up on you

Cover art for I Wanna Be a Warhol lyrics by Alkaline Trio

At first I thought this was about Skiba's enjoyment of painting and art, and it is. At first I thought it was influenced by Andy Warhol's paintings but it turns out Skiba is good friends with Monica Warhol, a painter, hence the painting and art references.

My Interpretation

along with the symbolism of not being over an ex

Its more than that with lines like "Still hung up on you" he doesn't just want to be liked, he wants an Ex (presumably Rosie O'Laskey) to be into him again

Cover art for I Wanna Be a Warhol lyrics by Alkaline Trio

Looks like a song about someone who wants to be admired, praised, looked up on, just like a piece of art
