Lucky Me

Most of us know what it's like to be alone. We understand the sadness of being by ourselves when we don't want to. But for some, loneliness isn't just when they're physically alone, it's also when they're with many, many people. Gatspy is surrounded by people most nights out of the week because he throws crazy parties with a tremendous amount of people. He also has so many material things in his life, most would think he is as happy as he can be, but it's quite the opposite. Gatspy lives of life of hiding behind a veil (like the Minister's Black Veil!).

This reminds me of a song by Chris Brown called Lucky Me.

It opens with:

Lights on,
stage set
I guess I gotta put on a show again
Cause everyone's waiting
Females, fly jets...
(more lyrics that are not relevant)
Whatever money can buy I probably got it
That's real talk, yeah.
I see my name in the sky all over the world
And I just sit hear saying,
lucky me

This reminds me of Gatspy because he is always putting on a show for the others around him. He has everything he could ever want, but he is still not happy.

The song then goes on to say:

I gotta pose for the cameras
Even when my world's falling down I still wear a smile
Lucky me
Even though I'm so damaged I gotta pick myself up and perform for the crowd
Lucky me
Pray none of my loved ones wanna be stars
Cause nobody said it'd be so hard
Wouldn't put this on no one else
Yeahh, Lucky me
I believe, just like Chris Brown, Gatspy would not wish his life on anyone. He tries to make everyone believe he is always happy, especially at his many parties so they envy his success and happiness, but in reality, he is miserable.
