The Allure and Isolation of Success in Lil Peep's 'Benz Truck (гелик)'

Lil Peep's 'Benz Truck (гелик)' is a track that encapsulates the artist's experiences with newfound fame, materialism, and the changing dynamics of personal relationships. The song's title itself, referencing a luxury vehicle, sets the tone for a narrative about the trappings of success. Lil Peep, known for blending elements of emo, rock, and hip-hop, often explored themes of hedonism, vulnerability, and the darker sides of fame in his music.

The lyrics of 'Benz Truck (гелик)' depict a lifestyle filled with excess and the superficiality that can accompany success. The repeated lines about being in the back of the club with the 'gothboiclique' and having 'iced out' possessions illustrate a life of opulence. However, the song also touches on the fickleness of relationships in the face of wealth, as friends and romantic interests are portrayed as being attracted to the artist's status symbolized by the Benz truck. The phrase 'Friends switch up when you in a Benz truck' suggests that people's loyalty changes when money and fame are involved.

Despite the celebratory tone of the wealth and lifestyle, there's an underlying sense of isolation and the potential for self-destruction. The references to drug use indicate a coping mechanism for the pressures of fame and perhaps the emptiness that can come with it. The lines 'All the hate don't phase me' and 'I'll never let it change me' reflect a defiance against letting external negativity and the transformative power of wealth affect his core identity. The song is a complex reflection on the highs and lows of fame, the superficiality of relationships based on material success, and the personal resolve to remain unaffected by the chaos that success can bring.
