Icon For Hire - Conversation With A Rockstar Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
You're everything I wanna be,
but that's not true at all.
I've held you high,
I've built a lie.
You're nothing like you used to be,
and that's not right at all.
You've given in,
you've let them win.

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
And I'm sorry that these words
are coming out of my mouth,
but I don't wanna be like you.
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out.

[Chorus 1:]
Someone else can save the world.
I won't sell my soul for this.
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
I wasn't meant to make them money.
Someone else can let it all go,
Trade themselves for one more show.
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,
for one meager shot at fame.

[Verse 2:]
I thought you could think for yourself,
and fight for what you loved.
They're using you,
you know they do.
And I don't think I want to take,
the same road that you're on.
It can't be worth,
the way you hurt.

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
And I'm sorry that these words
are coming out of my mouth,
but I don't wanna be like you.
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out.

[Chorus 2:]
Someone else can save the world.
I won't sell my soul for this.
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
I wasn't meant to make them money.
Someone else can let it all go,
Trade themselves for one more show.
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,
for one meager shot at fame.

[Bridge:]
Do you even remember why you wanted to get
this far in the first place?
Do you even remember why you wanted to be
a rock star in the first place?
Well, it's not too late.

[Chorus 3:]
'Cause Someone else can save the world.
Don't you sell your soul for this.
You weren't meant to make them happy,
You weren't meant to make them money.
'Cause Someone else can let it all go,
Trade themselves for one more show.
But you weren't meant to throw yourself away,
No we weren't meant to throw ourselves away,
for one meager shot at fame.
No, one meager shot at fame, fame, oh fame.

  1. b.... ....

    Been a fan for about 3 years now, and this I heard just now.

    b.... ....

    This song was cut out because of copyright claims from tooth and nail.

  2. C.... E....

    Why did they leave T&N? Like we're they like 'yea I want to be independent now' or wasT&N doing something wrong???

    C.... E....

    Chloe Elise Boshears-hazen they were doing alot of stuff, Ariel talked about it on the REL show. The names aren't coming to me rn but i know they talked a little about it on the official kickstarter video.

  3. C.... E....

    *flips table* THIS IS AWESOME

  4. C.... E....

    beautiful

  5. g.... p....

    napstablook to mettaton omg its so fitting

  6. M.... ....

    Are they allowed to put this on an album?

    M.... ....

    eDude-Gaming no, it belongs to tooth and nail records. however so did "perfect storm" and they've released that on you can't kill us with a few changes ("war")

  7. s.... s....

    Come on guys lets get this vid to 400 likes!

  9. T.... ....

    Donald Marshall. we thank you

  10. S.... L....

    I remember back in 2013 I was at a church concert. they came on stage and sang and I immediately became a fan. this song was made because she said all there band heroes ended up not who they thought they were like. they were dissapointed and told themselves they won't be like them. this song was her last song she sang and it is my favorite.

  11. B.... C....

    This song has a new meaning now, especially because Icon went independent. They truly stuck to their roots and beliefs.

    B.... C....

    Baby Campbell yes! <3

  12. R.... H....

    Actually for this playlist u have put together, this song, Carried Away, Pernilla and Call Me Alive were released on their early EPs, which are not available officially anymore, and are hard to find these days, but they were released. And Call Me Alive was also a bonus track on the Japan edition of Scripted.

    R.... H....

    Question for you since you're pretty close to the band are those songs like Carried Away, Conversation with RS, Call me Alive not owned by Icon since they went independent and broke off from Tooth and Nail? Another would be does IFH still legally have copyright to the songs on Scripted and the self-titled album?

    R.... H....

    Kokiri Kid I dont think they legally own there first two albums but I could be wrong.

  13. A.... I....

    attagirl

  14. M.... S....

    I imagine Ariel singing this as the band told tooth and nail to screw themselves

  15. H.... ....

    they should have played this when they were talking about quiting T&N

  16. H.... ....

    This is beautiful... why do I want to cry?

  17. T.... ....

    I wouldn't mind saving the world this way, to be honest. Even if it costs me.

    T.... ....

    I feel the same way

  18. I.... M....

    This song is so unbelievably amazing. I'm personally so glad that I've found out about Icon for hire for many reasons. One would be the fact that their music has helped me through a lot of tough times. Another would be the fact that all of their songs have meaning and emotion behind them. Which this song really hits it out of the park and I've been listening to it over and over for like an hour now😂. But my point is, I love Icon for hire and can't wait for their new album!❤️

  19. M.... 1....

    but nice vid

  20. M.... 1....

    at 17 seconds it says build on the scream and then audio says built

  21. C.... T....

    why is this even christian rock can somebody explain please

    C.... T....

    The member of the band are strong christian's and proud but do not like their music to be labeled as a christian rock band

    C.... T....

    they were on a christian label

    C.... T....

    tooth and nail

    C.... T....

    It's not......

  22. t.... ....

    this is why icon for hire shoul be much more recognised and why i wish i could climb to the top of something and blast this music all their acoustics and other songs to show they are amazing and maybe save a few souls through their songs that make me feel like things will be ok

  23. S.... C....

    I wish this could have been a bonus song on Scripted, its great

  24. K.... S....

    I love this song it's interesting and different.

  25. M.... ....

    I think this might be my favorite Icon for Hire song. I love the gritty acoustic guitar with her anthemic vocals.

  26. k.... ....

    Shimmering Brilliance exist in these sound waves that vibrate my eardrums.

  27. D.... V....

    Why the hell can't I see Icon for hire scripted full album anymore what is the retarded copyright law that prevents me from seeing it on my phone... I did somebody knows or can direct me to where I can listen to it that would be awesome ,
    thanks...Dave

    D.... V....

    I just use Spotify. It is almost like pandora but it plays more music by the artist you search for. I hope I helped.

  28. A.... T....

    This is an amazing song.

  29. M.... M....

    what album is this from? its not scripted or icon for hire and they don't have any others so.. single?

  30. a.... ....

    I saw them play this song live the other day at a concert. It was pretty awesome.

  31. n.... ....

    Where can I find this song?

  32. s.... ....

    Holy sh=-Ot that was freaking tuching and worth hearing.

  33. B.... B....
