Man On The Corner Lyrics

A chopped up version of the synth in the background of this song is used in Kevin Rudolf's song "Welcome to the World", which is a song about the 15 minutes of fame a celebrity gets, then it's time for them to disappear into anonymity again.

These two songs seem to have something in common. The lyrics to Man on the Corner may be interpreted as the man waiting for his shot at fame again. We all need it, but when we find fame (as some do) do we love it enough to leave it and become "just like all the rest" again? Well, that's my rambling done.
