I Idolize You

Massive Ego's song 'I Idolize You' delves into the intense and often unhealthy nature of idolization. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a fan's obsessive admiration for their idol, highlighting the raw and unfiltered emotions that come with such devotion. The opening lines, 'We do what we want to our feelings are so raw / Crawl back from extinction I'd idolize you more,' suggest a sense of desperation and an almost primal need to worship the idol, even in the face of adversity or societal disapproval.

The song further explores the lengths to which the fan goes to maintain this idolization. Lines like 'You try to provoke reaction with pictures on my wall / They don't get the attraction or see the point at all' indicate that the fan's obsession is not understood or accepted by others. This isolation only seems to deepen the fan's commitment, as they cling to every word and image of their idol. The repeated phrase 'I idolize you' underscores the relentless and unwavering nature of this admiration.

Moreover, the lyrics touch on the idea of the idol as a perfect, untouchable figure. The fan's refusal to criticize or trivialize the idol, as seen in 'I analyze you never dare criticize you / Hanging off every word that you bleat,' suggests a one-sided relationship where the idol is placed on a pedestal. This dynamic can be seen as a commentary on the broader phenomenon of celebrity worship, where fans often project their desires and fantasies onto public figures, creating an idealized and often unrealistic image of them. The song captures the intensity and complexity of this kind of devotion, making it a poignant reflection on the nature of idolization in contemporary culture.
