AFTA-1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quest for love, yeah its a quest for love
Quest for love, yeah its a quest for love
Yeah it's a quest for love
Love when I pour it up
Long as you stay by my side I won't hide
From you
When the rain pouring down I seek shelter, under your wing
I'm in love with all the fucking joy that you bring me
Didn't know that all these other hoes are deceiving (Deceiving)
When I'm down in my feelings, I run away
I shoulda known that all these damn girls are the same
Shoulda known that all they do is rot my brain, but I'm okay-ay-ay-ay
Quest for love I know that she's the one
And that she doesn't know that this song is about her
Imma sing it till she reckons that I'm out there
Even if it takes as long as growing grey hair
Imma stay here
Quest for love I know it'll be a long one
You're my princess in the tower
I'm the knight in shining armor
I'm the seed and you're the farmer
Dodge fake hoes 'cause now I'm smarter Oh, Oh, Oh
Are we moving too fast?
'Cause I already love you
Yeah it's a quest for love
Love when I pour it up
Long as you stay by my side I won't hide
From you
Quest for love, friendship and trust already found you baby
When I'm with you heart is racing hard for me to let go
You are the queen in your throne
Stars collide, in your eyes, it's unknown
Friends become enemies, when you walk in they pretend to be
Pretend to be your best friend
Till they treat you less than
Do you see the message?
I'm tryna get this through your head
Tell me that you'll love me till your dead
Tell me that you'll always understand-and-and
That I'll always love you
After my last girl I never wanted to love again
Something 'bout that body made my heart push and shove again
And then I went and realized that I'm so far from the end
And here I am singing on another quest for love again
Yeah it's a quest for love
Love when I pour it up
Long as you stay by my side I won't hide
From you

Line by Line Meaning
If your tears want out then let them fall
It's okay to cry and release your emotions
They'll hit your cheek and then dissolve
The tears will eventually subside and disappear
You see nothing heals quite like time
Time is a powerful healer
It fills the gap between dreams and real life
Time helps bridge the distance between aspirations and reality
So you give your pain a chance to run itself dry
Allow yourself time to process your pain and let it pass
Remember the story without all the hurt
Reflect on the positive aspects of a memory rather than dwelling on the pain
Hold on to the fruit and wash off the dirt
Hold onto the good aspects of a situation while letting go of the negative
You see life is bitter sweet
Life has both pleasant and unpleasant experiences
And sweets the best part
The good experiences in life are the best part
You never rate your happy
You can't appreciate happiness without experiencing sadness
Without sad on the chart
Sadness is an essential part of the human experience and cannot be avoided
Stars colliding against the dark
Life is full of contrasts and opposing forces
Of the night
The unknown or uncertain aspects of life
You'll climb over the moon tonight
You'll overcome challenges and reach for the impossible
On your quest of many trails
On your journey of life, full of twists and turns
Remember, will you remember
Don't forget
Who brought you here
Remember those who helped you get to where you are
Remember, will you remember your home
Stay grounded and don't forget where you came from
Stars colliding against the dark
Life's contrasts and contradictions
Of the night
The unknown and mysterious aspects of life
You'll climb over the moon tonight
You'll overcome the impossible and succeed
On your quest of many trails
On your journey of life full of twists and turns
