According to a comment posted by Howi on the youtube video for Overnight Sensation, the song is about “It’s about having stars in your eyes. And the hard road along the way.”
[Verse 1]
Burn it down
Are you really gonna' burn it down
You don’t have to say it I can see it
The look of treason on your face
Turn around
Someday you will come around
You don’t have to show it don’t blow it
This is only just a phase
[Chorus]
He had the darkest eyes
And a starry night like vision
Dreams of a spotlight sky and an overnight sensation
Don’t you turn your back now
This is what it takes to make it
Hurry up and wait
Don’t be late for the show
[Verse 2]
Slow it down
Do you need someone to show you how?
Live it love it lose it
Confusion is a common side effect
Needing is Sometimes difficult to reason with
You’re bleeding all your music
You did choose it
Mortally wounded then you’re dead
[Chorus]
He had the darkest eyes
And a starry night like vision
Dreams of a spotlight sky and an overnight sensation
Don’t you turn your back now
This is what it takes to make it
Hurry up and wait
Don’t be late for the show
[Instrumental]
[Chrous]
He had the darkest eyes
And a starry night like vision
Dreams of a spotlight sky and an overnight sensation
Don’t you turn your back now
This is what it takes to make it
Hurry up and wait
Don’t be late for the show
