High Society Girl

Laid Back's song "High Society Girl" delves into the complexities of a relationship with someone who is deeply entrenched in the glamorous and often superficial world of high society. The lyrics express a sense of frustration and uncertainty, as the narrator is left waiting and questioning the sincerity of the high society girl. The repeated lines, "Can't stand waitin', waitin' on you" and "You got to let me know, are you serious about it," highlight the narrator's desire for clarity and commitment in a relationship that seems overshadowed by the girl's social lifestyle.

The chorus, with its repetitive chant of "High society, high society girl," emphasizes the girl's identity and the world she inhabits. This high society world is depicted as one filled with constant social engagements and interactions with the elite, as suggested by the line, "Checkin' out with the jetset." The narrator's plea, "Can I count on you?" underscores the emotional distance and the challenge of forming a genuine connection in a world driven by status and appearances.

Laid Back, known for their laid-back, synth-driven sound, uses this song to explore themes of love, trust, and the often isolating nature of high society. The repetitive and almost hypnotic nature of the lyrics and melody mirrors the cyclical and sometimes empty nature of the high society lifestyle. The song captures the tension between the allure of glamour and the longing for authentic human connection, making it a poignant reflection on the sacrifices and emotional toll of living in a high society world.
