but nobody sees you
you're out on the edge
but you're not in danger
because you're only two feet
above the ground
you're out on a mission
for recognition
you're out on a mission
a show to sell out
but you've already sold out
you fucking sellouts
no one, no one cares
how close you were to the end
no one, no one sees
the changes you've made for yourselves
you need to break
apart from your egos
you need a break
to find a new image
'cause you're not rock stars
but you should be
you're out on a mission
for recognition
you're out on a mission
to quote yourselves
i've figured you out
you're so complex
oh yes, oh yes, they're coming on strong
and maybe by monday
their songs will live on
but the meltdown
the meltdown
the meltdown...
you're out on the edge
but you're not in danger
because you're only two feet
above the ground
for recognition
you're out on a mission
a show to sell out
but you've already sold out
you fucking sellouts
how close you were to the end
no one, no one sees
the changes you've made for yourselves
apart from your egos
you need a break
to find a new image
'cause you're not rock stars
but you should be
for recognition
you're out on a mission
to quote yourselves
i've figured you out
you're so complex
and maybe by monday
their songs will live on
but the meltdown
the meltdown
the meltdown...

i love "meltdown" so much because for me it makes a mockery of the drama of the pop music scene, and how often people are only out to idolize themselves and be seen, not just to play rockin' music and be themselves.
rooney is so cool..i agree with the above about this song
