Champagne N' Cocaine

Vintage Culture's 'Champagne N' Cocaine' delves into the hedonistic and often destructive lifestyle of using substances to escape emotional pain and societal pressures. The song opens with a sense of frustration and vulnerability, as the narrator admits to having had too much to drink and too much time to think. This sets the stage for a narrative that explores the use of alcohol and drugs as a coping mechanism. The repeated refrain of 'Champagne and cocaine' underscores the reliance on these substances to numb the pain and make time pass more slowly.

The lyrics also touch on themes of social alienation and resentment. The narrator expresses disdain for various groups of people, from those who gossip to the high-class individuals who are difficult to impress. This animosity is a reflection of the narrator's internal struggles and the external judgments they face. The use of harsh language and direct address ('I hate you too') highlights the intensity of these feelings. The song paints a picture of someone who feels misunderstood and marginalized, turning to substances as a way to cope with these negative emotions.

In addition to its raw emotional content, 'Champagne N' Cocaine' also critiques the superficiality and emptiness of a lifestyle centered around drugs and alcohol. The line 'ignorance is bliss and I've come to embrace it' suggests a conscious decision to ignore the deeper issues at play, opting instead for temporary relief. This creates a poignant contrast between the fleeting highs of substance use and the underlying sense of dissatisfaction and emptiness. Vintage Culture's track serves as both a personal confession and a broader commentary on the pitfalls of escapism through substance abuse.
