i think it's about fame and how you become sort of viewed as a machine (note the name Heavy Metal Machine). i think billy can describe it better than i can. you sort of stop being seen as a person
if i were alive
if i were real
would you survive
what would you feel
and it's sort of about the isolation you get from being a star and how you stop being seen as a person, and maybe even how you become that heavy metal machine, like when you're onstage or something
let me die for rock and roll
let me die to save so soul
let me die, let me die rock and roll
well, it's a wonderful song. i think it should be a classic.
