about

The song is about the shear desperation to be famous, how there are so many people who seem to be out there throwing themselves to the wolves to make some kind of mark. And when they fall we "shoot 'em up". It's based around the circular guitar part, which I couldn't get out of my head for weeks. I thought "that's so annoying, I NEED to put it in a song". And so I have

lyrics

If we really try
If we want it hard enough
We'll get everything we want
You'll be a superstar
And I'll be on the radio
And we'll have everything we want

Before things change
Let's start it up start it
And take our chances
Start it up start it
But one by one they're coming down, falling like
Broken stars they're coming down, falling like
Space invaders coming down
Let's shoot 'em up
My adrenaline
I can feel it kicking in
If we get everything we want
But in time
It could burn your heart out
But we'll have everything we want

Before things change
Let's start it up start it
And take our chances
Start it up start it
But one by one they're coming down, falling like
Broken stars they're coming down, falling like
Space invaders coming down
Let's shoot 'em up
