Meaning
This reads as a warning about how quickly public praise can distort self-image. It points to the danger of believing the headlines around you, then collapsing when attention changes, and can be taken to mean that fame is fragile and unstable. It lands for anyone who has been praised early and then had to face a quieter, less flattering day.
