Rich, bitch

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Orange Factory's song White Horse can be interpreted in different ways. The song is about the idea of success and how far one is willing to go to achieve it. The white horse is used as a metaphor, often used to symbolize purity, power, and victory, which in this context represents success, fame, and fortune. The lyrics suggest that if you want to achieve success, you have to be aggressive, unscrupulous, and willing to do whatever it takes to rise to the top, even if it means being a "bitch." This line could be seen as a commentary on the misogyny that can exist in certain industries where women are encouraged to be ruthless and cutthroat to succeed.


Another way to interpret the song is by looking at the second part of the chorus: "ride the white pony." This phrase has been used as a euphemism for doing drugs, specifically cocaine. It could infer that the song is not only about achieving material success but also the dangers and temptations that come with it. One could argue that the song is suggesting that in order to achieve success, one must be willing to take risks, even if it means indulging in illicit activities that may have negative consequences.


Overall, the song can be seen as a commentary on the ruthlessness and sacrifice often required to achieve success, as well as the risks and temptations that come with it.
