Overall Meaning

In Adina Thembi's song Killing Me Softly, the lyrics depict a lover reaching out to their significant other for support and reassurance. The singer sings about how their lover is their reason for staying alive and how they depend on them to survive. The promise of change is also made, indicating that the singer will make an effort to better themselves for their partner. The use of repetition in the chorus emphasizes the intense emotions that the person is feeling and how their lover's actions are taking a toll on them.


The verses consist of a mix of English and Twi (one of the most widely spoken languages in Ghana), each addressing the singer's significant other as Adina. It's unclear who Adina is in this situation, but the lyrics suggest a sense of confusion and damage caused by their relationship. The use of "kululu" is also interesting as it is a term used in Ghana to describe something that is cheap or inferior. The singer emphasizes that their lover is not "kululu" and that they will do anything for them.


The song showcases the singer's vulnerability and highlights how love can be both beautiful and painful at the same time. It evokes strong emotions and connects with the listener on a personal level. The use of Twi, combined with the beautiful melodies, makes it a unique and enjoyable listen.
