Signs

Drake's 'Signs' is a smooth, laid-back track that delves into the themes of indulgence, temptation, and the complexities of relationships. The song opens with a depiction of a luxurious lifestyle, where champagne breakfasts are the norm, and the party starts early in the morning. This hedonistic narrative sets the tone for a life of excess, where the protagonist is aware of the need for moderation but finds it challenging to maintain self-control.

The lyrics suggest a relationship dynamic where the other person is trying to get close, perhaps too close, and the narrator is struggling with setting boundaries ('I gotta catch myself, I can't play myself'). The repeated phrase 'I can't say No when you say Please' indicates a vulnerability to persuasion and the difficulty in resisting someone's allure. The references to 'Lisa' needing 'money and visa' and the mention of a 'supermodel pose like mi real friend Winnie' (a nod to model Winnie Harlow) hint at a world where materialism and status are intertwined with personal connections.

The song's chorus, 'Easy, easy, easy,' serves as a mantra for the narrator, a reminder to slow down and take things easy amidst the fast-paced, glamorous life. The mention of 'Signs of the times' could be interpreted as an acknowledgment of the current era's focus on material wealth and instant gratification. Drake's introspective verses reveal the internal conflict between enjoying the moment and recognizing the potential emotional consequences of living in the fast lane.
