I had such eureka moment with this song and how it's structured. The first two verses are from the perspective of a b-list celebrity that not enough people know of, in his eyes. He's shocked by how easily people can forget him when a new face appears, and it gets to his head. His blood boils that bigger artists won't recognise who he is, and that Sean Evans won't invite him onto a show about spicy chicken wings. In the chorus, "you" refers to fame. When the celebrity has fame and attention on him he is happy and has sunshine, but as soon as it leaves, he's left to contemplate his existence which sends him on a spiral of drugs and leads him to taking his own life. This was also a twisted ploy to get more attention. For a period of time it works, gaining more monthly listeners on their music, but, eventually it fades into everyones unconscious minds and he is forgotten as just "another sob story when a star can't handle it, lost angel fallen in Los Angeles."
