The Allure of Fame and Indulgence in 'Often Slowed (remix)'
Rh Music's 'Often Slowed (remix)' featuring Eduardo Luzquiños delves into the hedonistic lifestyle often associated with fame and success. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life filled with late nights, casual relationships, and the constant pursuit of pleasure. The repetitive 'Ooh yeah, nah, nah, nah' serves as a hypnotic mantra, drawing listeners into the world of the artist.
The song opens with the artist expressing a preference for solitude but quickly shifts to inviting company, indicating a desire for companionship and excitement. The mention of 'sneak pictures' suggests a wariness of the invasive nature of fame, where privacy is often compromised. The line 'In my city I'm a young God' highlights the artist's elevated status and the power dynamics at play, while the reference to 'pussy kill be so vicious' and 'My God white, he in my pocket' alludes to the intoxicating and sometimes dangerous allure of physical and material pleasures.
As the song progresses, the focus shifts to the impact of fame on relationships. The artist describes a woman who is infatuated with his status and willing to abandon her current partner for a chance to be with him. This highlights the transient and superficial nature of relationships in the world of fame. The repeated question, 'She asked me if I do this every day, I said often,' underscores the routine nature of these indulgences, suggesting a sense of emptiness despite the constant pursuit of pleasure. The chorus, with its emphasis on doing things 'often,' reinforces the idea of a lifestyle driven by excess and the relentless quest for gratification.
