“Main Character Syndrome” – a song about being in love with yourself. About profound narcissism. A somewhat tongue-in-cheek commentary on our social-media addicted age.

Lyrics

Main Character Syndrome

Main character syndrome
Sees himself in shop windows
Falls a little bit in love

Main character syndrome
Constantly on his cell phone
Taking selfies from above

Everyone’s a winner
Just for being here
Just for turning up and taking part

You’re all so special
Can’t tell you apart
‘Cos you’re all, yeah, oh so smart

You’re looking good
Look out Hollywood!
Here comes a star
You’ve come so far
From the bedroom to the living room
Soon we’ll all know
Who you are

Main character syndrome
Sees himself in a new role
As fearless adventurer

Main character syndrome
Sees himself in ancient Rome
Playing the role of Emperor

Everyone’s equal
All unique now
You all took part in the game

Can’t differentiate
‘Cos you’re all great
Yes, you’re all, you’re all the same

You’re looking good
Look out Hollywood!
Here comes a star
You’ve come so far
From the bedroom to the living room
Soon we’ll all know
Who you are

You’ve rehearsed all your lines many times
For the film that plays inside your mind
And your friends are exactly the same
Everybody is expecting fame

You’re looking good
Look out Hollywood!
Here comes a star
You’ve come so far
From the bedroom to the living room
Soon we’ll all know
Who you are

(There’s just so many of you)
Oh, main character syndrome!
You’re a star!

(There’s just so many of you)
Oh, main character syndrome!
You’re a star!
