He looks like the son of Kevin Bacon and some other guy, if they had a kid. I can't think of the name… Just a little bit. I keep playing this over and over.
It's evident that through the metaphor of "cheap sunglasses" that are "made of plastic," the writer of the song somewhat ridicules the target audience; through the implications of the words "cheap" and "plastic" the writer suggests that the seemingly flawless, astonishing, and "glittery" figures of society simply have no life on the inside. While the person seems perfect on the outside, their internal personality and imperfections can "be seen right through you." Also, through the statement that "you may seem like something classic, but you're cheap sunglasses" develops an idea that even though one may seem special or unique, there are plenty of them to go around and they can be mass produced- they exist in abundance. Lastly, the writer uses the phrase "your limousines get stuck in traffic," to show that even the magnificent figure has the common struggle of traffic issues; the writer shows that the significant other is just like everyone else, but has expensive possessions like "limousines" to stand out from everyone else. In other words- it's probably not about his girlfriend since he subtly insults the target audience of the song and also raises awareness to the reality of the importance of internal values and personality, not just an external, essentially pristine image. He's trying to tell the listeners that you can look rich, you can act pretentious, and you can seem perfect. But if you lack any unique qualities or have no unique character or don't act in your own true individual self, you are transparent: you are nothing on the inside and you just look good like everyone else. Awesome message to a song, truly beautiful message. And of course, why not make the smoothest voice in the music industry right now sing a casual, purposeful song? Haha c:
