Living the high life comes with its own set of rules and risks. This track appears to be about navigating the world of luxury and excess while trying to maintain authenticity. The lyrics suggest someone moving through elite social circles ("wine and roses") but needing to be careful not to get caught up in the superficial nature of it all ("smoke in mirrors"). There's a cynical take on materialism and the people who chase it, particularly the titular "gentleman" who seems to represent the hollow pursuit of status and wealth. The repeated warning "don't get caught" hints at the dangerous game of maintaining appearances in this world, while possibly engaging in questionable behavior. It's a commentary on the façade of high society and the price of admission to that exclusive club. #SocialClimbing #LuxuryLife #StatusSymbols #FakeItTilYouMakeIt
