Story Behind The Song

I was noticing how ridiculous some people are on reality TV shows, yet so many fans watch them and want to be like them. It's an insecure need for fame and attention. I thought that it would be run to write a song about a guy who thinks he can get back at his ex and eventually win her back by becoming a reality TV star which is absurd, but in many cases true.

Song Description

A bouncy pop-rock groove with satirical lyric circa "Cognition, Inc." about a foolish guy who thinks that by getting on reality TV show he'll become famous and get his ex back. This pokes fun at reality TV, its participants and those conformists who glorify it.

Lyrics

I wanna be reality
And play with my friends on the TV
I wanna be, I wanna be reality
I wanna be your fantasy
I want you to wish you were me
I wanna be, I wanna be reality

And the world will be all mine
Everything will be just fine
When I face the camera on the show
All my worries fade away
Everything will be ok
When I face the camera on the show
You'll wish you never let me go

I wanna be in bright lights
And be the one you watch at night
I wanna be, I wanna be reality
I want some attention
To aid my ascension
I wanna be a bonafide celebrity

And the world will be all mine
Everything will be just fine
When I face the camera on the show
All my worries fade away
Everything will be ok
When I face the camera on the show
And I can say I told you so

Ohhhh
When I face the camera on the show
Ohhhh
When I face the camera on the show
You'll wish you never let me go
