Miss Kittin & The Hacker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pleasure
Objects
Power
The lyrics to Miss Kittin & The Hacker's song PPPO seem to be a commentary on the society's obsession with materialism and consumerism. The repetition of "People, Pleasure, Objects, Power" suggests that these four things are connected and perhaps even interchangeable. The use of alliteration in the line "Powerful People Possess Powerful Possessions" emphasizes the importance of possessions in society and how it leads to power.
The line "I want what you have" highlights the envy and desire that exists in society to own what others possess. The line "I'll never have enough" suggests that the want for materialism is insatiable and always leaves the person wanting more.
Overall, the song seems to be portraying how our obsession with materialism and consumer culture leads to a society where people are defined by what they have and not who they are as individuals. It is a commentary on the emptiness of this kind of lifestyle and the endless cycle of consumption that it creates.
