My thoughts on writing tips found online and in published works (with some random thoughts thrown into the mix).

Rockstar

For today, I decided I would open up my iTunes (which has quite a wide array of genres in it), put the songs on random, and comment about the first song that came up.

Today, that lucky song is: Psycho by System of a Down.
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho groupie coke 
Makes you high makes you hide 
makes you really want to go, STOP 
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho groupie coke 
Makes you high makes you hide 
makes you really want to think and stop 
stop your eyes from flowing 
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho groupie coke 
Makes you high makes you hide 
makes you really want to go, STOP 
Psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho groupie coke 
Makes you high makes you hide 
makes you really want to think and stop 
stop your eyes from flowing out 
so you want the world to stop 
stop in and watch your body fully drop 
from the time you were a 
psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
so you want to see the show 
you really don't have to be a ho 
from the time you were a 
psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
Psycho groupie coke 
Makes you high makes you hide 
makes you really want to go STOP 
psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy 
psycho groupie coke 
do you really want to think and stop 
stop your eyes from flowing out 
so you want the world to stop 
rushing to watch your spirit fully drop 
from the time you were a 
psycho, groupie, cocaine crazy 
so you want to see the show 
you really don't have to be a ho 
from the time you were a 
psycho, groupie, cocaine, crazy

When you attempt to look up the meaning of this song, you will find two interpretations. The most popular is that it is about groupies that try to get in with the band by doing drugs and basically stalking them. The second is about the music industry itself; about the life and times of being a rockstar.


At first, I was going to comment on the meaning of the song that came up first. But, this song doesn't really have a strong meaning to me. I think it has a fun beat and I love to listen to it, but I don't really have a personal connection to the lyrics. So, it's just about the pleasure of listening!
