Song Meaning of “Wall Street” by Wig Wam
“Wall Street” by Wig Wam expresses the sentiment that the world is driven by those with an appetite for money and power. The song paints a picture of a “glittering” world where wealth dictates ambition and competition, with only a few players truly succeeding. Through it all, the vocalist’s voice is asking if there’s any meaning at all behind the pursuit of these materialistic gains, and if it’s not all just a “cruel illusion.” In the final chorus, the singer concludes that while money may make the world go round, the only place with real meaning and satisfaction is found in the “closeness of a dear friend.” So while Wall Street determines the posture of the world, unless it’s spent for deeper purposes, it doesn’t truly bring lasting value or contentment.
