Discover the story of the song > Celebrity Status – Marianas Trench

The protagonist is singing about his desire for celebrity status and all the work he's willing to do to achieve it, even if it means trading in his old self for a new, shiny image. He sings about the superficiality of the industry and how charm and good looks can only take you so far. He's aware that there are those who will use him for their own gain and he laments the loss of genuine relationships in his pursuit of fame.
