The song "Hollywood" by Jessica Pratt is a melancholic reflection on the superficiality and illusions of the entertainment industry in Los Angeles. The lyrics describe a young person who was once full of hope and dreams, singing high to the angels and to Hollywood. However, the reality of the city and its cutthroat nature have caused them and others to lose hope and fall low. The reference to colored marigolds could be interpreted as a metaphor for fading beauty and the harsh reality of the industry that chews up and spits out young talent. The chorus warns that when one sings so low, they risk losing touch with the people and relationships that matter most. The line "Hollywood is tumblin' down" may suggest that the fickle nature of the industry and its obsession with trends and youth will ultimately lead to its downfall. Overall, the song Hollywood is a mournful reflection on the dark side of fame and the loss of innocence and hope in the entertainment industry.
