BIG SHOT
Gurd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You show you're rich what a hell of a dream
You'll gonna kick it up you wanna reach the top
Just being son - it pays a lot
So this is your dream
Not bad how it seems
Your loneliness is what I see
You'll never gonna make it out
You loser
Get a life
Big shot - showing off your money
Big shot - why you look at me
Big shot - not impressed at all
Baby I don't care - Baby I don't care
Ain't you aware of reality
So fucking dumb or just so mean?
Ain't gonna say a single word to you
To me you look like the biggest fool
Got all of your money
Got all of your fame
But life is lost without a brain
Gonna show you down to the ground
Your fucking lies are all around
You loser
Get a life
Big shot...
The song "Big Shot" by Gurd is a critical commentary on the materialistic and superficial aspects of society. The opening lines and chorus directly address the singer of the song, who drives up in a "big limousine" to show off their wealth and desire to climb to the top of society. However, the lyrics point out that this pursuit is ultimately empty and superficial, as evidenced by the singer's loneliness and lack of awareness of reality.
The verses of the song further detail the singer's disdain for the singer's behavior, criticizing them for being "so fucking dumb or just so mean." The chorus echoes this sentiment, with the singer expressing their lack of concern for the singer's flaunted wealth and status. The repeated use of the term "loser" emphasizes the contempt the singer feels for the singer's behavior.
Overall, the lyrics of "Big Shot" serve as a reminder that true success and fulfillment in life come from more meaningful pursuits than the accumulation of wealth and status symbols.
