"Kristine" seems to explore themes of identity, societal expectations and the pursuit of wealth and success. The lyrics evoke a sense of detachment and indifference towards traditional measures of success and a dissatisfaction with the pressure to conform.

In the first verse, the narrator expresses a lack of concern or emotional investment in societal expectations. They find contentment in being grounded and unaffected by the pursuit of greatness or material wealth. The mention of "museums and movies" with Hedi may reference the allure of the glamorous lifestyle associated with fame and luxury.

The chorus suggests a rebellion against the apathy of the young millionaires. "Apolitical still" implies a refusal to engage in political or social matters, perhaps reflecting a desire to separate oneself from the pressures and responsibilities associated with power and influence. The use of misanthropy, a general dislike or distrust of humanity, hints at a sense of disillusionment with societal norms.

The second verse continues the theme of detachment and pretense. The narrator acknowledges that they may not fully embody the perceived ideal of success but questions the purpose of striving for it. The reference to stabbing pens in their hands may symbolize the frustration of creative or intellectual pursuits without tangible results. The mention of shopping with Kristine suggests the superficiality and emptiness of materialism.

Verse three highlights a paradoxical support for sports and physical activities associated with the young millionaires. This might suggest a simultaneous desire to partake in the lifestyle while recognizing its inherent shallowness. The mention of branding bills with the badge of young millionaires could indicate a desire for recognition and status symbols.

The song's repetition of "young millionaires" in the chorus and the final verse could highlight the contradictory nature of the pursuit of wealth and success. It could imply a critique of the obsession with materialism and the emptiness it may bring.

Overall, "Kristine" appears to present a critique of societal expectations and the pursuit of wealth, while expressing a desire for authenticity and a rejection of the superficiality associated with the young millionaires.
