TELESCOPE

TWXN's song 'TELESCOPE' delves into themes of luxury, hedonism, and the fleeting nature of relationships. The recurring metaphor of a telescope suggests a sense of distance and observation, as if the artist is looking at life and relationships from afar, detached yet fascinated. The stars symbolize the high points of life, such as wealth and beauty, which are often out of reach but captivating to observe.

The lyrics paint a picture of a lifestyle filled with material excess and indulgence. References to expensive items like Audemars watches and the act of 'buying' affection highlight a transactional view of relationships. The artist's mention of drugs and alcohol further emphasizes a hedonistic approach to life, where pleasure is sought without concern for consequences. This lifestyle is portrayed as both glamorous and isolating, with the artist admitting to a lack of genuine connection ('I don't do hers, I don't do kisses').

The song also touches on themes of power and dominance. TWXN describes himself as a 'big boss' and a 'big talker,' asserting his authority and control over his environment. This sense of power is juxtaposed with a sense of vulnerability, as seen in the repeated line 'If your lights are off, I'm outside,' suggesting a readiness to confront threats or challenges. The use of violent imagery and the mention of carrying a gun add a darker, more dangerous edge to the narrative, reflecting the precarious balance between power and peril in the artist's world.
