Song to Describe Holden

I was listening to music on YouTube and this song came up. It reminded me about the book.

Anyways, I thought this song pretty much described Holden's personality, well, his self-absorbed and highstrung sides.

Also, money is kind of a big theme in the song. In the book, money comes back a bunch of times.

One part of the song, it says "Lives are entertainment." This sounds like Holden. He doesn't really care much for others and he views them as toys or just something to have around.

*Warning* If you're not a fan of the "F" word, then don't listen. It only says it a couple of times so you can easily get over it.

Lyrics:

The road I walk is paved in gold
To glorify my platinum soul
I'll buy my way to talk to God
So he can live with what I'm not.

The selfish blood runs through my vains
I gave up everything for fame
I am the life that you adore
I feed the rich and fuck the poor.

I got, you want
It's just, don't stop
I got, you want
It's just, don't stop.

This is entertainment
Lives are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more.

The road I walk is paved in gold
To glorify my platinum soul
I am the closest thing to God
So worship me and never stop.

The rested blood runs through my vains
I gave up everything for fame
I am the life that you adore
Now feed the rich, fuck the poor.

I got, you want
It's just, don't stop
I got, you want
It's just, don't stop.

This is entertainment
Lives are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more.

Dear future,
I bought you,
I own the rights

To let go
Destroy you
This is my life.

Dear future,
I bought you
I own the rights,

To let go
Destroy you
This is my life....inside.....

I've got, you want
This is, don't stop
I've got, you want
It just, don't stop.

This is entertainment
Lives are entertainment
You are down on your knees
Begging me for more.
(Begging me for more)
Begging me for more.

(I've got, you want
It's just, don't stop)

  1. Oh, wow. I haven't heard this song in a while.

    I guess I can thank you for giving me a flashback.
