Cadillacs

Ayesha Erotica's song 'Cadillacs' delves into themes of luxury, status, and personal standards in relationships. The protagonist in the song is a woman who has experienced a life of opulence, having intimate encounters in high-end vehicles like BMWs and yachts. However, she draws a firm line when it comes to a Cadillac, which she deems a 'used up piece of shit.' This disdain for the Cadillac symbolizes her unwillingness to compromise on her standards, even for someone she finds attractive.

The song also explores the backstory of the man driving the Cadillac. Once a wealthy individual who drove a Mercedes, his fortunes have changed drastically after being cut off by his father. Despite his fall from grace, he retains some endearing qualities, such as being a good cook and having a poetic soul. However, these attributes are not enough to sway the protagonist, who is fixated on the material aspects of his current situation. This highlights a superficial layer to her character, where material wealth and status symbols play a crucial role in her decision-making.

Ayesha Erotica uses humor and irony to critique societal norms around wealth and relationships. The repeated refrain 'I don't fuck in Cadillacs' serves as a satirical commentary on how material possessions can influence romantic and sexual choices. The song's playful yet biting tone underscores the absurdity of equating a person's worth with their financial status and the car they drive. Through this lens, 'Cadillacs' becomes a critique of superficial values and the societal pressures to maintain a facade of wealth and success.
