Chasing Elegance: Unveiling the Layers of Life in 'Golden Cow'
Lyrics
I moved to LA so I'm trying to look successful
Expresses the desire to appear successful after moving to LA.
I found a bargain on these elegant clothes
Finds a good deal on fashionable clothes to enhance the image.
Gods came to earth to meet with us here at this party
Reflects on a social gathering where divine or influential figures are present.
I'll ask your name pretend like I don't know
Plays a social game by pretending not to know someone's name.
Well if I buy all your drinks
Suggests buying drinks as a gesture, perhaps seeking favor or approval.
Like a blood offering
Compares buying drinks to a ritualistic blood offering.
Would you save me
Ponders if such gestures can save or gain acceptance.
Man I feel worthless when I wake up this hungover
Expresses a feeling of worthlessness during hangovers.
Well it took me a few to convince me that you cared
Reflects on the struggle to believe in someone's care, possibly due to intoxication.
When I get drunk enough I question just how hard I try
Questions personal effort and commitment when intoxicated.
I want to live forever but never thought to die like Jesus died
Expresses a desire for eternal life but acknowledges the avoidance of death like Jesus.
Cause when you want to be loved
States the necessity of giving up love to receive it.
You have to give up it up
Emphasizes the sacrifice required for love.
In three days you hope the magic shows up
Refers to waiting for a magical transformation in a relationship.
Why don't you love me
Pleads for love, questioning its absence.
Why don't you love me
-Why don't you love
-Why don't you love me
-Yeah I still think it changes everything
Suggests a belief that love has transformative power.
I take a train from the mountain to the suburbs
Describes a journey from a natural setting to a suburban area.
I am not Moses I keep my tablets in my bag
Contrasts with Moses, keeping personal tablets instead of divine commandments.
I praise the golden cow then grind him in my coffee
Mixes reverence for a golden cow with mundane actions like grinding it into coffee.
Because man we had some fun but I knew this wouldn't last
Acknowledges the transient nature of enjoyable experiences.
Maybe we just exist
Ruminates on the purpose of existence.
To make are own purpose
Contemplates the creation of personal purpose in life.
Hope we don't die with it
Expresses hope for a meaningful existence without regret at the end.
