All Time Low- Sick Little Games

This song is all about the effect that the media has on society and people. He is 'turned on by the tabloids' which means that he is heavily influenced by the media and what other people think of him. It goes on about the fact that he really wants to be famous and would do anything to achieve his goals, and goes on about how hes thinks hes following the same path as stereotypical hollywood people by inheriting the characteristics and habits of then and 'losing it all' (his identity) to the media, the 'sick little games' that is the main topic of this song, the media. It has made him become a 'shadow of who i'm supposed to be' as fame has gotten to his head and he needs to get away from it. He talks about his thought process before he was famous, and how nervous he was. His thoughts were 'If I play my cards right, I could make the big time. I could be a reason to stare. Caught up in the spotlight, Shaking from the stage fright. How did I end up here?', which shows that he regrets letting fame get to his head. The main beat of this song is rock concert- esque which reflects the whole meaning of the song, about fame and getting appreciated. I like this song as a lot of people are influenced a lot by what other people think of them, and this song teaches them to just be themselves.
