I feel his talking about how we worship all these celebrities who wear all these designer clothes and act like prima donnas even though those things are not what is the most important.

If Jesus were here on earth, he wouldn't be into all those material things. 'He'd like Gaultier but you'd never find him in it' because he would be spending money helping the poor instead of buying something to look good in. And while Jesus would be so cool and worshiped by everyone and could hang around 'the walk of fame', he 'would turn his back on all of that'. I think he'd spend time helping people.

'Lord, I need your protection spend some time in my direction.' I feel is Darren saying that he wants help to not get trapped into the world of celebrities. He wants to be protected from becoming materialistic and obsessed with being famous and a prima donna.
