BIGSHOT is a song about someone who doesn’t take chances in life, and is always lagging behind those that do. And how they yearn for a life where they are the risk taker who can make it and become more than they were before.
[Chorus]
BIG SHOT, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did-nots
You’re always just a bit shy, following behind
I think you’ve spent enough time singing the same lines
Big talk, big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did-nots
You keep on freezing (UP!) while the iron is still hot
The phone is hanging (UP!), but you’re still in the same spot
[Verse 1]
Yeah it’s not fair, I know it’s not fair
You ain't the only star that’s been left for dead
I asked about your name on the moon, it was quiet, nobody knew you
Aim like an atom who swears it’s going to shoot you
Are you the only one-of-one to be found?
If you could see the rest, would it bring you back down?
[Chorus]
You’re no big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did-nots
You’re always just a bit shy, following behind
I think you’ve spent enough time singing the same lines
Big talk, big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did-nots
You keep on freezing (UP!) while the iron is still hot
The phone is hanging (UP!), but you’re still in the same spot
[Verse 2]
Save me, somebody save me
I’m screaming for a life that I cannot have
I need to know if someone out there’s listening
How come they don’t ever call back to me?
Will I ever know you’re close or die waiting for your attention?
[Chorus]
Big shot, think you’re a big shot
I think you’re raveled up in a tangle of did-nots
You’re always just a bit shy, following behind
I think you’ve spent enough time singing the same lines
(Big talk, big shot, think you’re a big shot)
(I think you’re raveled) In a tangle of did-nots
You keep on freezing while the iron is still hot
The phone is hanging, but you’re still in the same spot
[Instrumental]
