Palaces

About Palaces

In “Palaces,” Lupe describes our hero’s realization that perhaps fame was not everything he thought it would be and how the longer he rises up in the world, the more he sees its darker side. The narrator struggles through hurdles such as attempting to appease both labels and fans, compromising his artistic integrity, losing his sense of privacy and both being exploited as well as exploiting others. The song is structured into three separate verses .
