Sting
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Another obituary in the paper today
2
One more for the list of those who've already fallen
3
Another one of our comrades is taken down
4
Like so many others of our calling
5
We tweet our anecdotes, our commentary
6
Or we sing his songs in some sad tribute
7
While the tabloids are holding a story of kiss and tell
8
That he's no longer able to deny or refute
9
50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing
10
And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him
11
How well I remember the stadiums we played
12
And the lights sweeping across a sea of 50,000 souls we'd face
13
A serious drug that you could never kick
14
Or one that you couldn't imagine you'd ever replace
15
We flew like kites on the wings of amphetamine
16
Secured only to a bass line and a snare drum beat
17
But really what did any of it mean?
18
When there's a higher philosophy in reflection and defeat
19
50,000 voices rising every time he'd sing
20
And every word he ever wrote reflecting back to him
21
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays
22
Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away
23
Reflecting now on my own past
24
Inside this prison I've made of myself
25
I'm feeling a little better today
26
Although the bathroom mirror is telling me something else
27
These lines of stress, one bloodshot eye
28
The unhealthy pallor of a troubled ghost
29
Where did I put my spectacle case?
30
I'm half blind and as deaf as any post
31
50,000 hands are raised to a man that's just like you and me
32
We create the gods we can and gift them immortality
33
Still believing that old lie, the one that your own face betrays
34
Rock stars don't ever die, they only fade away
