Whenever you are sitting in the car and you hear Lupe Fiasco's voice come on your radio, have you ever wondered what the "Gold Watch" lyrics really mean? Is it a story of luxury? A tale of life experience? Is there really any meaning to it at all?
These questions seem inherently unanswerable and perhaps only Lupe himself knows their true answers. Yet one thing is for certain, that Lupe's "Gold Watch" lyrics provide deep insight into the importance of social class in the society of 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.
Whether it is your brand new Omega watch, the new line of Seiko watches at your corner jewelry store, or some other gold chain or watch, it seems as though you always need the latest fashion trend to keep up in society these days.
So how can you best decide what luxury items will be most effective in boasting your status in society? Although fashion trends seem as random as the weather, if you look closely there are patterns that can guide your decision.
A fantastic place to catch up on what items society thinks are fashionable and trendy is your local shopping mall. Although it is best to do so with some caution so that you don't end up looking like everyone else.
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.
So, next time you have your radio on in your car and you hear the Gold Watch lyrics come on, ask yourself what type of luxury is best for you. Whether itas a new watch, a fancy car, or a diamond ring, chances are there is something out there to suit your style.
