Story Behind The Song
Song was inspired by the initial press flood with Paris Hilton in 2005 and 2006. It appeared that her celebrity had taken her world over. A night in Paris was the final straw and I wrote the song that summer. It also speaks to the hopes that she and anyone being chased by fame can eventually put it all back into perspective.
Song Description
The Song is about the trials and tribulations of celebrity.. Moving on and moving forward. Making mistakes and making decisions and learning from experiences. It speaks to recognition of the lack of substance in material success and going overboard in excess.

Lyrics
You wake up a star you are lucky
They go so far just to be right there with you
Trust in fame you flutter and refrain
In a room with curtains and champagne again
Will they care?
Do you dare?
Is it all so politely
The diamonds shine so brightly
The suitors they call nightly
How's it going so far?
Don't forget to remember who you are
Wild lust runs through you
Get away and exit off the stage again
Take a plane to somewhere far away
Then you land but do not touch the ground
Will they care?
Do you dare?
Is it all so politely
The diamonds shine so brightly
The suitors they call nightly
How's it going so far?
Don't forget to remember who you are
One at a time the call on you
You hear but do not answer
All of the eyes trained on you
You look but do not care
After it all comes to you
After it all comes to you
Will they care?
Do you dare?
Is it all so politely
