Plastic Diamonds
by ZEITGEIST ZERO
'Plastic Diamonds’ is a song about the perils and pitfalls of fame. After all a gilded cage is still a cage. The pop melodic sensibilities of the vocals add contrast to the darker themes of the lyrics and the music features heavy guitar riffing layered over dark wave synths and pounding drums that is Zeitgeist Zero’s signature sound. Lead singer Teresa was inspired to write the lyrics after reading an article about reality TV stars. It described the devastating impact that fame had upon them and especially during their subsequent struggle to return to normal life when the show ends and the media interest has evaporated. In many cases this has led to severe depression and in some cases even suicide.
“Wind is whistling through your veins, rattling around your coop again. the
birds outside tap on the glass, reminding you that nothing lasts”
“Are you ready to be the feast? Are you ready to feed the beast?”
lyrics
Lyrics:
Wind is whistling through your veins
Rattling around your coop again
The birds outside tap on the glass
Reminding you that nothing lasts
Look at me, look at me,
That’s what you want to tell the world
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Your fame is so absurd
Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to be the feast?
Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to feed the beast?
Footsteps run up from behind
They want to know what’s inside your mind
All that glitters is not gold
When everything precious has been bought and sold
And when you sell your soul
What’s left is hard and cold
Pretend that you are strong
Act like nothing’s wrong
Remember don’t forget your past
This was never meant to last
What happens when they look away?
Plastic diamonds get thrown away
