This song is about how a famous person is abusing their power and uses that to do not so good things.
[Verse 1]
So you've become as holy
As the devil ever could be
Nothing could seem to stop you
So you keep doing what you wanna do
Consequences never seem to cross your mind
Nasty man, you never seem to know what's right
Promise the stars, promise the fame
No one should ever trust your name
[Chorus]
You love the spotlight, don't you, don't you?
All of the hands that reach for you, reach for you
You can't help but to feed the monster
Hidden in plain view
You just keep smiling like you do, like you do
[Verse 2]
Do you understand what you've done?
You use your power as if it were a gun
She still holds the secret inside
The monsters in her room are ghosts of his lies
Brush it away, make sure no one hears their cries
Burst your bubble, I see what hides behind your eyes
No one should ever trust your name
[Chorus]
You love the spotlight, don't you, don't you?
All of the hands that reach for you, reach for you
You can't help but to feed the monster
Hidden in plain view
You just keep smiling like you do, like you do
[Bridge]
Can you picture the scene?
She's only thirteen
He tells her she can have everything
Now it's 12:23 and she believes
And now begins to trust in what she sees
Scarred from years ago
'Cause no one told him no
[Chorus]
You love the spotlight, don't you, don't you?
All of the hands that reach for you, reach for you
You can't help but to feed the monster
Hidden in plain view
You just keep smiling like you do, like you do
