Taj Mahal
Broncho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder if I look Latina
Shots are fired, are you looking to hire?
Tell me, can you overhear?
Super height of fashion, Taj Mahal
Shopping mall, shopping Mahal
Too intense, nothing at all
Everybody looks like seventeen
I wonder if they look like me
Hot and wild, and there's nothing to hide
Now tell me, can you overhear?
First walk, fresh towards the catwalk
It's coming back, look towards the catwalk
Catwalk, ready for plane call
Oh, oh
Why would anybody dress like me?
Now tell me, were you all agreed?
Tighten in, and I'm wearing it thin
Now tell me, can you overhear?
It's hard to say who's having sex
Is anyone still having sex?
Did you not know who's having sex?
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard to say who's having sex
Well height of fashion in Taj Mahal
Super, super height of fashion in the Taj Mahal
Super, super height of fashion in Taj Mahal
Super high in Taj Mahal
Super, super height of fashion in Taj Mahal
Super high in Taj Mahal
(Super height of fashion, Taj Mahal
Nothing at all, nothing at all
Nothing at all, nothing at all)
Super, super height of fashion in Taj Mahal
Super high in Taj Mahal
(Super height of fashion, Taj Mahal
Nothing at all, nothing at all
Nothing at all, nothing at all)
The lyrics of Broncho's song Taj Mahal express a sense of confusion and disorientation towards modern fashion and sexuality. The opening lines reveal the singer's bewilderment at the idea that anybody would dress like him, and he wonders if he looks Latina. The ambiguity of identity is further exacerbated when the singer asks if anyone can hear him over the shots being fired. Throughout the song, there is a sense of detachment and alienation as the singer observes that everyone looks the same and wonders if they look like him. He seems to be questioning the superficial nature of modern life and the pressure to conform to societal norms.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Super height of fashion, Taj Mahal" and juxtaposes it with "shopping mall" to highlight the contrast between opulence and consumerism. The repetition of "nothing at all" emphasizes the emptiness and futility of the pursuit of the latest trends. The verse that follows continues the theme of disconnection, as the singer watches people walking towards the "catwalk" and wonders if anyone is genuinely interested in fashion or if they are merely following the herd mentality. The song then takes a surprising turn with the lines "It's hard to say who's having sex, is anyone still having sex? Did you not know who's having sex? It's hard, it's hard, it's hard to say who's having sex." These lines express a sense of disillusionment with the modern age and suggest that something has been lost amid the superficiality and chaos of contemporary life.
Overall, the lyrics of Broncho's song Taj Mahal capture the sense of alienation and disillusionment felt by many in modern society. The themes of conformity, identity, and sexuality are explored with a sense of detachment and ambiguity that leaves the listener with more questions than answers.
