The Bezos quadrilogy feels like the development and collapse of a religion.

The first song is an anthem to a man who perfectly reflects the goals, values, and beliefs of a society, which Bezos is in a sense. Celebrating his success and all around awesomeness and admiration. "He did that thing we're supposed to do where we work our way up from nothing and become absurdly rich!" (-CJtheX). Luke it's inviting him to enter society and the minds of the masses and do whatever he pleases with it, because he can do it! He does what we are all supposed to do and so darn well. He must be the aspiration of society, a role model, a god.

The second song is celebrating that god's success. He did it, we gave him that power and he did all good things with it. We are congratulating him. He did it!

The third one feels like a hymn to an old god no one truly understands anymore. A god from a forgotten time. Respect and admiration towards it feels like common knowledge. To the point that if it contradicts the world's around us it's the world's fault. The world outside must be remade into what Bezos' was, it's a fact, FACT that doesn't stand to reason and doesn't need to; faith.

The fourth, the funniest of them all feels like a fight against the waning relevance and popularity of the values. I'm sticking with Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeffrey; there is 180 billion reasons why. It is a blunt, silly, stubborn refusal to move on, to change with the changing world. It is electing to stay in the past; conservatism.
