Addison Rae 'Fame Is a Gun' Lyrics, Explained
Addison Rae—or Addison, as she prefers to be called—wants to be a pop star, and she's not afraid to say it. Her unapologetic desire for fame, fortune, and pop icon status is on full display in her new single, 'Fame is a Gun.' Addison dropped the new single and music video on Friday, May 30, and after one listen, it's clear that the 'Fame is a Gun' lyrics are a defiant declaration of her pop star intentions, as well as a message to all her haters. The fourth single off her upcoming album, Addison, 'Fame is a Gun' is a rebuke to all the criticism she's gotten as she transitions from TikTok darling to pop super star. Did you watch the music video for 'Diet Pepsi' in shock? Were you scandalized when she attended the VMAs in an elevated bra and underwear set? Well, Addison's got a message for you—she doesn't care!—and she's going to tell you why over a catchy, club-friendly electro-pop beat. Obsessed yet? Thought so. Let's dive deeper into the 'Fame is a Gun' lyrics (provided by Genius) to really fall in love. [Verse 1]Tell me who I am, do I provoke you with my tone of innocence?Don't ask too many questions, that is my one suggestionYou know I keep it real, I live for the appealKnew it from the start, it was the only way to mend my broken heartDon't ask too many questions, this is my one confessionIt never was enough, I always wanted moreI always wanted more [Chorus]Fame is a gun and I point it blindCrash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dryYou got a front row seat and II got a taste of the glamorous lifeRight from the start, Addison is calling out those who want her to remain the teenage TikToker she once was and who might not understand why she's pivoting to a more sexy look. In the first verse, she's letting you know it's not that complicated ('Don't ask too many questions') she wants to be famous—aka live a 'glamorous life'—pure and simple. [Verse 2]There's no mystery, I'm gonna make it, gonna go down in historyDon't ask too many questions, God gave me the permissionAnd when you shame me, it makes me want it moreIt makes me want it more, more Here, Addison is unabashedly declaring that she wants to be famous and 'go down in history.' And, when naysayers call her outfits too revealing or try to shame her for her more risqué lyrics, it just makes her want to be more edgy, more revealing, more famous. [Chorus 2] Fame is a gun and I point it blind (Blind)Crash and burn girl, baby, swallow it dry (Dry)You got a front row seat and II got a taste of the glamorous life (Life)Love is a drug that I can't deny (Deny)I'm your dream girl, but you're not my typeYou got a front row seat and II got a taste of the glamorous life (Uh-huh) Addison adds a bit to the chorus the second time around, singing, 'Love is a drug that I can't deny,' but I don't think she's talking about romantic love. It's the love and adoration from fans that she can't get enough of. [Post-Chorus]Glamorous lifeGlamorous lifeGlamorous lifeI got a taste for the glamorous life [Bridge]Nothing makes me feel as goodAs being loved by youNothing makes me feel as goodAs being loved by you [Chorus 2] [Outro]I got a taste of the glamorous life (Uh-huh)I got a taste of the glamorous life With 'Fame is a Gun,' Addison is making it clear that not only does she intend to continue to captivate the pop world, she's doing so unapologetically and without reserve. And I can't wait to hear what she drops next.
