| "WHAT'S IT MEAN ?" Now, boys and girls, is the time when we gather around a song and talk about what it means.... Today's episode: "Everybody knows my name" by Bride Everybody knows my name, everybody wants the fame Everybody wants to see, everybody wants a piece of me Everybody wants the fun, everybody sees the gun Everybody be so kind, still got my piece of mind Everybody knows my name Everybody can you feel my pain
I was born a poor boy, left home when I was four Momma never named me so I never was for sure I learned to read enough to know life was not so kind All I own is my guitar and my peace of mind
I went out into the world to find my place in life I'm learning more every day surviving really bites They ask me for a line of coke, needles, knives and guns I said to myself I've found home cause this place sounds like fun
Everybody knows my name, everybody play the game Everybody wants the fame, everybody knows my name
I've seen holy rollers, midnight strollers, cops shake with fear I've seen high heels clicking, red lipstick, blood, sweat and tears I've read about a man who died on a cross for everybody's sins if you want to make a change you've got to put your faith in him I've seen the limelight in new your city I've seen the rainbow in Hollywood walked the streets of London England the streets of gold look so good
I voted for their politicians I've seen all the dirty religions I wore their three piece suits But I did not wear their army boots I didn't fire the guns of war Never knew what we were fighting for Everybody wants the fame Everybody knows my name | |

| Its got the feel of what it is to be a celebrity. - Want's to have and enjoy all the world can give... - Knows of the truth, yet does not know.... - Loves all that comes from freedom or living in a free society.... - Yet want's nothing to do with what keeps it free. He wants his cake and eat it too. He wants peace but can't find it in all his/her celebrity, yet he/she has heard "about a man who died on a cross for everyones sins if you want to make a change you've got to put your faith in him." | |

| That's pretty much the way I see it. Life is empty, even with all it's trappings, without Christ. I love the way that there is nothing Christian about it apart from the last verse, which packs a punch.

| It's about you're typical cliche rockstar. Born with a rough life, drugs booze, gets famous. He then realizes that without God, is fameis worthless. Without God, who cares about all the high life? A relationship with Christ will always be more important cause it gives what money and fame can't. | |

| Good to see you here, Noah. (I'm André on FB)
I agree with all the posts here.
But… why focus on the lyrics? The music is wonderful! | |
