When I was young and stupid my love Left to be a rock and roll star He told me please don't worry Wise little smile that spoke so safely He booked a one way ticket Out west that's where they'd make it Six kids stuck in a bedsit To sunswept poolside riches He met a girl who wore Versace Pink feather coats and jumbo jewellery Gonna be a hoop phenomenon He's gonna be Hakeem Olajuwon He's got a gold Camaro He said over the payphone I try to keep my cool but My life turns in slow motion Bye bye baby blue I wish you could see the wicked truth Caught up in a rush, it's killing you Screaming at the sun, you blow into Curled up in a grip when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Superparadise I held on to But I settle for a ghost Where I was from NOLA no one Left to be a rock and roll star He'd stay and treat his lady Give everything to his new baby I miss him don't you blame me That boy went stone cold crazy Caught up in camera lust he's Chasing that pappy pipe dreams I know you don't but I I know you don't but I still try My thunder shook him down My thunder came and shook him down That girl is gone but I That girl is gone but I still try I think it's over now The bullet hit but maybe not I feel so fucking numb It hits my head and I feel numb My body's looking wrong My body's looking wrong My body's looking wrong Bye bye baby blue I wish you could see the wicked truth Caught up in a rush it's killing you Screaming at the sun you blow into Curled up in a grip when we were us Fingers in a fist like you might run I settle for a ghost I never knew Superparadise I held on to But I settle for a ghost
I listened closely to the lyrics and my Theory is that sombodys lover had to move cause of there career/job and they promised that "everything's gonna be okay" and they would *"always"* love them. But after a few days, he found a *-filthy-* rich woman and over the phone he told his "lover" he found sombody new. And he *new* ex lover is in disbelief trying to "keep it cool" hence the "I tryed to keep my cool" in the lyrics, but after a while she/he started to get really exhausted & burnt out. She/he saw that there old lover was now famous cause of the money he had got from his career. This was there breaking point and he/she took a g^n then moments later after and uneventful -and stressful few seconds- decided to shoot them selves in the head as and an tempt in su!c!de after the grief of there past lover in the process the last thing they saw was the blur of them holding the gun before passing. What ya guys gals & non-binary pals think of this explanation/Theory?? What are ur theory's? Do you think this is somewhat accurate? Or do you have a different theory I don't mind! Have any opinion you want, just.. *don't be rude.* _Have a lovely day otherwise :DDDD_ ❤❤️❤️❤️❤️
