Overall Meaning

The first verse of Dremo's "Wonder" expresses the artist's confusion about certain aspects of life and society. He wonders why people only start paying attention to others when they die, and why some people prioritize war over peace. He also expresses his confusion about why people judge others based on their physical appearance, such as a guy judging a lady by her physique or ladies judging a guy by his car. Dremo also wonders why some people try to bring others down just for the sake of trying to go viral on social media, and he questions the irony of how there are seven wonders in the universe yet wonder seems to never end. He even expresses his confusion about why time is so long while life is so short and why he hasn't been able to buy a Ferrari despite his success.


The second verse builds on this theme of confusion and contemplation about society. Dremo wonders why people sometimes fail to "wonder" about some of the injustices happening in the world, such as police brutality and a lack of job opportunities. He also wonders why humanity seems to value material possessions over human life, such as when teenagers spend their school fees on flashy items or when people steal pictures of his 30BG gang. Dremo ends the verse by calling out someone who has been trying to bring him down and reminding them that "if the shoe fits, ya bitch." Despite all the confusion and contradiction, Dremo asserts his readiness to face any obstacle thrown his way.
