El Elevao
Los Golden Boys Lyrics

The lyrics to Los Golden Boys's song El Elevao have a humorous and light-hearted tone but also carry a deeper message about the consequences of being too preoccupied with one's elevated status or appearance. The song is about the experiences of the singer, who refers to himself as "elevao," meaning elevated or high-minded, and the mishaps that occur as a result of his preoccupation with status.

The song begins with the singer describing the silly situations he finds himself in due to his elevated state. He loses his shoe in a puddle because he's looking sideways, acting as if he's above everyone else. He mentions feeling embarrassed when he is with someone he cares about and is covered in water from the puddle he fell in because he was too wrapped up in himself to notice where he was going.

Later in the song, the singer explains to his friend Toño why his jacket is upside down, causing confusion for those around him. He explains that it's not because he wants the jacket to last, but because he embodies the idea of being "elevao." This suggests that his preoccupation with status or appearance is not necessarily logical but is more of a mindset or an attitude.

The song's message is clear; being too preoccupied with one's status can lead to silly or embarrassing situations. The humor of the lyrics masks the underlying meaning, making the message more approachable and memorable.
