Wings - Macklemore

This song about how people will spend ridiculous amounts of money just to fit in society.

....

I wanna fly
Can you take me far away
Gimmie me a star to reach for
Tell me what it takes
And I'll go so high
I'll go so high
My feet won't touch the ground
Stitch my wings
And pull the strings
I bought these dreams
That all fall down

....

This part is an allusion because Nike made everybody think that Nike could make people 'fly' and everyone bought into how cool the shoes were and it would make you cool but it only ended.
