Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Renard's song "Big Shot" are quite interesting and thought-provoking. In these lyrics, he talks about what it would be like if he were to become the president. According to him, if he did become the president, he would get elected on Friday but then things would take a darker turn. Renard imagines getting assassinated on Saturday, and then finally getting buried on Sunday. This is a very gloomy and intense depiction of the presidency, and it suggests that Renard doesn't believe there is much difference between a normal person's life and that of a president.


The lyrics of "Big Shot" can be seen as being a commentary on the state of politics in general. Renard seems to suggest that the political system is corrupt and doomed to fail. He doesn't seem to suggest that there is anything particularly special about being the president - it's just another job that comes with its own set of challenges. The lyrics also suggest that power is often fleeting, and that even the most powerful people can be brought down in an instant. In a way, the song is a reminder that we should all be careful not to put too much faith in our politicians and leaders.


Line by Line Meaning

If I was president,
If I held the most powerful position in the country,


I'd get elected on Friday,
I would win the election with ease on a Friday,


assassinated on Saturday,
But my success would be short-lived as someone would plot to kill me on the following day, Saturday,


and buried on Sunday.
My death would be mourned on the next day, Sunday, as I would be laid to rest in a burial,
