This songs explains the story of a person who aspires to be the best (whether in a specific topic or just in general) after being seen as nothing in the eyes of everyone.

[Verse 1]
When I was a baby
I was blessed by a stranger
In waters I didn't understand
And now I'm infected with disbelief and blasphemy
I'll never have a holy land
I am a ghost
In the eyes of my god
[Chorus]
But I will transcend
And vomit this loser out of me
I will become the next big thing
I will light myself on fire
It's time to get out of bed
And be the starchild I can be
[Verse 2]
A billion light-years away
Someone's thinking the same thing
But he's already turned to dust
And the starlight I see is a billion light-years old
But goes just like the rest of us
Nothing I see
Is here anymore
[Chorus]
But I will transcend
And vomit this loser out of me
I will become the next big thing
I will light myself on fire
It's time to get out of bed
And be the starchild I can be
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
