Cadillac
The Renegades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
She ain't never ever comin' back
Baby, baby, baby please, can't you see I'm on my bended knees?
Your heart's so cold that it's gonna freeze?
All right now, let me hear you say it
Well, my baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
My baby drove up in a brand new, brand new Cadillac
She ain't never ever comin' back
Come on now
Suck it to you're daddy
Someway I drove off to here
The Renegades' song "Cadillac" is a bluesy and soulful tune that tells the story of a man whose lover has left him in a brand new Cadillac. The song starts with the man describing his lover's arrival in the shiny new car and the realization that she is never coming back. He pleads with her in the following verse, asking her to reconsider and to see that his love is true, but she remains unmoved. The chorus repeats the initial description of his lover's arrival, emphasizing the finality of the situation. The song concludes with a call and response section between the lead vocalist and the backing singers, urging the audience to feel the funk and dance along.
One interpretation of the song is that it's about the end of a relationship, with the Cadillac representing the end of the line. The car is often associated with luxury, success, and excess, and its appearance in this context highlights the jarring contrast between the man's empty heart and his lover's material gain. The repeated refrain of "no" in response to the man's pleas suggest a stubbornness and an unwillingness to engage in further discussion, reinforcing the sense of finality.
