Hidden In Lupe Fiasco’s Gold Watch Lyrics Is A Life Of Luxury
When you are sitting in your car and Lupe Fiasco’s song “Gold Watch” comes on the radio do you find yourself wondering about the meaning of the lyrics? Do they have a deeper meaning? Do they contain some hidden secret as how you might live luxuriously?
While the answers to those questions are debatable at best and may never have a clear answer, what does have a clear answer is that the Gold Watch lyrics give us a glimpse into the class society that is ever so present in the United States of America.
The items that Lupe describes in his song-a gold watch, gold chain, sports car, even a diamond ring-are classic symbols status symbols in society. An individual possessing or wearing such items is sure to be perceived as an accomplished member of society.
This reflects our constant need to obtain the next hot status item to feel like we are keeping up with society. Without that brand new Omega watch or set of Tiffany diamond earrings, many people feel that society will pass them by them and have their status downgraded.
It is certainly difficult to determine what luxury items that will maximize society’s perception of you as a high status individual. Especially since what society deems to value and deem fashionable can change along with the trade winds. Nevertheless, there are ways to detect patterns in what luxury items are optimal.
While it is always important to maintain your individuality, a quick way to pick up own fashion trends is to check out what luxury items other people have purchased. A particularly good place to pick up on trends in society is to go to a mall.
Your local mall is ideal because it will showcase styles from people at all different levels in society. This will give you broad exposure to many different styles, from which you can pick and choose those that are the most appealing.
With this in mind, hopefully the next time you hear the “Gold Watch” lyrics instead of asking yourself about the song’s meaning it will serve as a cue to ask yourself what luxury items are fashionable and best suit your style.
