Lavish
Carly Gibert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gold teeth and rose gold habits
Spend the dollars we don't wanna stash it
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
Acting like we have it
Turn the motel to a palace
Drinking like kings from a chalice
Wait, it might just take a miracle
For us to start the day
Mixing champagne with cereal
So far from halfway
Come through and leave me hanging like a poster
Free fall over the top feel like a coaster
Come down we only doing what we know
What we're supposed to do
You know that wе got
No time to keep the focus on the motivе
Right now we only focused on the moment
No route is gonna show us where to go
What we're supposed to do
Dreaming of the lavish
Gold teeth and rose gold habits
Spend the dollars we don't wanna stash it
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
Acting like we have it
Turn the motel to a palace
Drinking like kings from a chalice
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
Here we go again, here we go again
Messing with my head
Nothing's permanent
I just need to vent
Can I talk for a moment?
Got some time I need to kill
This life that we're living
Searching for the cheap thrills
I numb the emotion
Not catching no feels
I'm done being on the run, up in these hills
Luxury and lavish
Take it you can have it
I don't need a baggage
Leave it in the past tense
Come through and leave me hanging like a poster
Freefall over the top feel like a coaster
Come down, we only doing what we know
What we're supposed to do
You know that we got
No time to keep the focus on the motive
Right now we only focused on the moment
No route is gonna show us where to go
What we're supposed to do
Dreaming of the lavish
Gold teeth and rose gold habits
Spend the dollars we don't wanna stash it
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
Acting like we have it
Turn the motel to a palace
Drinking like kings from a chalice
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
(I numb the emotion)
(Not catching no feels)
(I'm done being on the run, up in these hills)
I numb the emotion
Not catching no feels
I'm done being on the run, up in these hills
Dreaming of the lavish
Gold teeth and rose gold habits
Spend the dollars we don't wanna stash it
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
Acting like we have it
Turn the motel to a palace
Drinking like kings from a chalice
Standing on the roof so we can feel the high
Dreaming of the lavish
Gold teeth and rose gold habits
Spend the dollars we don't wanna stash it
Standing on the roof
So we can feel the high (Yeah).
The lyrics to Carly Gibert's song Lavish explore the desire for a luxurious lifestyle and the lengths that people will go to in order to achieve it. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the entire composition, as the artist sings about the idea of "dreaming of the lavish." This refers to the idea that many people are constantly thinking about what it would be like to live a life that is full of expensive things, such as gold teeth and rose gold habits.
As the song progresses, the artist explores different ways that people try to achieve this lifestyle. One of the most notable lines in the song is "Spend the dollars we don't wanna stash it," which speaks to the idea that people are willing to spend a lot of money in order to maintain an appearance of wealth, even if it means living beyond their means. The artist also touches on the idea of living in the moment, rather than worrying about the future or the past.
Overall, Lavish is a commentary on modern society's obsession with wealth and luxury. The song encourages listeners to think critically about the choices they make in pursuit of these things, and to recognize that true happiness comes from within, rather than from material possessions.
