Like New Year's Eve rockets that shine for a moment
Burning in the sky in front of applauding people
But the next morning, when the smoke settles
The debris is already being swept up in the streets

Ah, the whole life an advertisement
Buy this, like that
The picture only fits from a distance
But everything's fine as long as the filter fits
Puppets of the executive floors
Big promises that say nothing
I don't want to sell myself just so everyone knows me
I'm not just chasing new trends, I stick to loyal fans

Build them up, come on, make them hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
They own the short hype, hype, hype, hype, hype
But just so you know, know, know, know, know:
I'm here and I stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Build them up, come on, make them hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
They own the short hype, hype, hype, hype, hype
I don't give a damn about this shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
I'm here and I stay true to myself, oh!

Keep your hype
I'm here and I stay true to myself

Ah, I fly to the very top, no limit
After show, champagne reception
And they shake your hands
But unfortunately only for one summer
With a run-up, a head dive into the shark tank
No matter what you think, just keep smiling
I don't want fake friends and press at any cost
I want to be as I am, no interest in anything else!

Build them up, come on, make them hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
They own the short hype, hype, hype, hype, hype
But just so you know, know, know, know, know:
I'm here and I stay, stay, stay, stay, stay
Build them up, come on, make them hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
They own the short hype, hype, hype, hype, hype
I don't give a damn about this shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
I'm here and I stay true to myself, oh!

Keep your hype
I'm here and I stay true to myself

Overhyped kids
Are bored
Overhyped hits
Only last a short while

Like New Year's Eve rockets that shine for a moment
Burning in the sky in front of applauding people
But the next morning, when the smoke settles
The debris is being swept up in the streets (yeah)

Build them up, come on, make them hot, hot, hot, hot, hot
They own the short hype, hype, hype, hype, hype
I don't give a damn about this shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
I'm here and I stay true to myself, oh

Keep your hype
I'm here and I stay true to myself
Keep your hype
I'm here and I stay
