[size=150][b]Here are the lyrics to the song, "The Fear," by Lilly Allen:[/b][/size]

[i]I want to be rich and I want lots of money
I don’t care about clever I don’t care about funny
I want loads of clothes and i want fuckloads of diamonds
I heard people die while they are trying to find them

And i’ll take my clothes off and it will be shameless
Cuz everyone knows that’s how you get famous
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah I’m on to a winner

[Chorus]
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear

Life’s about film stars and less about mothers - </3
It’s all about fast cars concussing each other
But it doesn’t matter cause I’m packing plastic
and that’s what makes my life so fucking fantastic

And I am a weapon of massive consumption
And its not my fault it’s how I’m programmed to function
I’ll look at the sun and I’ll look in the mirror
I’m on the right track yeah we're on to a winner

Chorus
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cuz I’m being taken over by The Fear

[Bridge]
Forget about guns and forget ammunition
Cause I’m killing them all on my own little mission
Now I’m not a saint but I’m not a sinner
Now everything's cool as long as I’m gettin thinner

[Chorus]
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore
I don’t know how I’m meant to feel anymore
When do you think it will all become clear?
‘Cause I’m being taken over by fear[/i]

For those who have not seen Perfect Blue, here is Anime News Network's synopsis of the film:[/b][/size]

Mima is a pop-star in a girly trio known as "Cham". (Think "Bananarama.") While not that popular (they've never broken the top 100 chart), they have a very devoted fan following. When Mima announces her retirement from Cham in order to pursue an acting career at the reccomendation of one of her managers. (The other, a former idol herself, is quite against it.) While the "normal" otaku all gather around to discuss this (and sell Cham fanzines), one especially (ahem) devoted fan is not at all happy about this. He seems to be popping up everywhere, and Mima is wondering who this guy is.

...But that's the least of her problems. She's gotten threatening letters, an obscene phone call, and discovers a fan web site, "Mima's Room", has a daily journal that knows WAAAY too much about her. "Who are you?" she wonders to herself.

Ironcially, that's her one and only line in a direct-to-video movie series she's starring in, "Double Bind". She repeats it over and over to herself, and events in real life start having an errie similarity to her screen-life. As her roles get more and more seedy (in one, she plays a stripper who is graphically raped by her audience), more and more bad things start happening. People close to her start dying. Is she killing them? Is she the stalker or the stalked?

[size=150][b]And, here is AnimeNfo.Com's description of it:[/b][/size]

[i]Pop singer Mima Kirigoe looks forward to a bright new career when she quits her chart-topping trio to become an actress. When she lands a role in a sexually-charged murder mystery, Mima's life begins to fall apart. Reality and hallucination merge into a terrifying world where innocense is lost and dreams become nightmares.

Quickly descending into a dangerous state of paranoid delusions, Mima watches as internet sites appear describing every intimate detail of her life. She is helpless and afraid as her associates are threatened and killed by a mysterious stalker.

In the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock and Dario Argento, director Satoshi Kon (Memories), special advisor Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira) and Madhouse Studios (Ninja Scroll) bring Youshikazu Takeuchi's thrilling suspense-novel to the screen in a tour-de-force that brings animation to a bold new level. [/i]
