| Jeffree Star – Lollipop Luxury Lyrics

Mr. Star's use of the pop cultural framework to confront pop/celebrity culture is brilliant. As postmodern as any art being made today. His critics may claim, as did Andy Warhol's, that he's "simply" a fame-seeking media whore; Jeffree's attitude and lyrics show otherwise. He's a celebrity-basher and all around "shit talker." Many celebrities have used the Internet to propel themselves into the spotlight, but in many cases they kiss ass and grovel at the feet of other celebs once they've "made it." Mr. Star's reluctance to do so is one of his most unique and admirable attributes, and truly refreshing. |

Definitely. I've always been under the impression it's a song from 1 brother to another. The line "And I'm glad you got away, but I'm still stuck out hear/My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears" is powerful, I think, because it's HIS tears. The first verse certainly feels like brothers. |

I think it's about evolving levels of acceptance. First, HE wants to be accepted; asking for a second grace and sitting in her way to be assured of getting it. Then, he sings, "if it's time for recompense for what's done, come sit down on the fence in the sun." Here he accepts the consequences of his past actions. Next, he accepts HER... as she is; as complete and multifaceted ("Please tell me your second name. Please play me your second game. I've fallen so far for the people you are; I just need your star for a day"). In the last 4th of the song, it's as if he has accepted everything and is living in the present moment. Drake's depression makes me think this song is more of a prayer than an autobiography. He wants to be able to accept what he's unable to, which gives it this incredible untertone of sadness. It's such a powerful song. Certainly the best on Bryter Layter. |

I think this song deals in terms of communication that transcend the audio-linguistic plane of human perception, reaching the twisted claw of muddy loathing into the ethereal lantern-light of who-what-when-where-why and pulling from the foggy ruins of somewhere a memory so richly sad in inclination that the glistening eyes of the prophets gleam in the stardust of the seven seas as thousands of children drown happily, content due to their Buddhist roots, embracing death as one would an old friend, with open arms and an expectant heart, and meeting Deepak Chopra in a field of corn where an elf is measuring the length of his stiff member and reciting biblical passages from a drooled-on notebook titled; "Where Thej Wild Things Aren't" or something.
But I could be wrong.
These things are pretty subjective. |
