The Lyrics

Part of my "Blame It on the Whiskey" self-challenge. The final part, in fact (not including the supplemental)! It's always interesting to see actors stuck in similar roles...you ever wonder if they notice?
Had a little light bulb "Ding!" lately
It almost made my chin hit the floor
All of the films that I've acted in
Seem to follow a similar course, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Didn't feel right, I checked online
Just in case I'd forgotten a brief cameo
Yeah, it turns out that my mem'ry wasn't mistaken, geez
So now it's a fact that I know and that blows

I'm pigeonholed
Ev'rytime I'm on screen (each time that I'm on screen)
I have to check that I did swap out the DVD
I'm pigeonholed
Bit of a trip to see, mmm-mmm-hmm
Yeah, that all of my parts are the same damn thing on repeat

How'd I manage
How'd I never notice all my parts have been the same? That's tragic
That's tragic 'cause I'm so serious, true, yeah, about ev'ry damn audition, so
I guess I missed the plain-to-see pattern, I feel so used
How'd I manage
How'd I get through the whole process of actin'
From the big makeup seat to takes on repeat to ADR for action scenes
And not notice? CV looks copied, oh-oh

I'm pigeonholed
When they call back to me (when they get back to me)
The same conversation, no shock rehearsal's a breeze
I'm pigeonholed
Same friggin' role for me, mmm-mmm-hmm
Yeah, it's even pervaded the voice roles I get, it seems, yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah

I'm pigeonholed
What to do now? Don't see, hmm-mmm
A way to ask for new roles without blackballin', please
I'm pigeonholed
Sure, my fans may tell me, mmm-mmm-hmm
Yeah, I'm good at this one thing but I wanna try to reach

What's also interesting is how one melody line can completely change your opinion on a song. I listen to the Billboard charts by people posting half-a-chorus snippets of the entire list on Youtube, which has meant for most of the year all I heard of this song was the title line. But at some point they switched up what part they used, using the "I'm fallin' apart right in front of you, can't you see?" line that punched me right in the soul. It's the kind of melody that you can't not sing with your eyes closed on the final note, if that makes sense.
