Ten Feet Tall
Afrojack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my head's a mess
'Cause you got me growing taller everyday
We're giants in a little man's world
My heart is pumping up so big that it could burst
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I swear I could touch the sky
Oh oh oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh oh oh
I'm ten feet tall
I'll be careful
So don't be afraid
You're safe here
No these arms won't let you break
I'll put up a sign in the clouds
So they all know that we ain't ever coming down
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Oh oh oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh oh oh
I'm ten feet tall
You build me up
Make me what I never was
You build me up
From nothing into something
Something from the dust
Been trying so hard not to let it show
But you got me feeling like
I'm stepping on buildings, cars and boats
I swear I could touch the sky
Oh oh oh
I'm ten feet tall
Oh oh oh
I'm ten feet tall
In the song "Ten Feet Tall" by Afrojack, the singer admits to being clumsy and emotionally vulnerable because of their feelings for someone who makes them feel invincible. This person makes them grow stronger every day, so much so that they feel like giants in a world of little men. Their heart is so full it could burst, and they feel like they are stepping on buildings and touching the sky. The singer promises to keep their loved one safe, and they feel that they are building something great together.
The song's lyrics are interpreted as a love letter to a significant other who has brought out the best in the singer. The singer feels transformed by their love and support, and they are no longer afraid to be themselves in the world. The sense of security that comes with this kind of love is demonstrated in the line, "You're safe here/No these arms won't let you break."

The 2011-2015 period were the golden era of EDM. Lots and lots of quality electronic songs week after week.
The era was ignited by the Swedish DJ's like Avicci, Axwell, ingrosso etc.. their songs started to get huge airplays in USA, thus started to take over the mainstream music, competed with pop music and at a point of time even mainstream pop music was losing to edm. That was the standard of these DJ's.
The era was dominated by mostly European producers like Avicci, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Tiesto, Afrojack, Robin Schulz, Alesso, showteck, Nicky Romero and many other.
Avicci and Calvin Harris seemed like the flag bearers of the era with their many smash hits.
Swedish House Mafia dissolved before Axwell and ingrosso started making music as duo, they were also one of the key figures of the era.
Dutch DJ's Hardwell, Afrojack and Tiesto had huge success with their songs getting in to Billboard charts and New faces like Martin Garrix and Alesso were big hit from the very start and went on to become so huge by the end of the era.
Music festivals like Tomorrowland and ultra music festival became the biggest festivals of the decade which helped edm to become a culture worldwide and helped to regain its long lost glory.
House music was the king. Electro, progressive, bigroom, deep and tropical house songs were all over the charts.
New artist kygo from Norway increased the legacy of the era by give great tropical house classics .kygos arrival was during the last year's of the golden age and continued his success past the era
The era also had great number of Drum n bass,Dubstep, hardstyle hits which showed the diversity of golden age.
The golden age came to an end when producers started featuring for mainstream pop artists for dance pop songs which have mostly a future bass or trap drop eg: Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas and chainsmokers whose new hits which were mostly future bass and trap which were well recieved .
The shift from the major house sound to the hip-hop trap, future bass kind of sound was evident. There were many good artists in these like chainsmokers but all producers somehow tried different styles which were not as catchy or impactful as their previous hits.
Still, Calvin Harris enjoyed success with club edm sound, kygo was becoming huge but the huge number in dutch and Swedish House songs declined and the industry was inclined towards a different sound
Mumble rap came in to scene and a horrific trap sound ruled the industry for some years . Only a few artists like Alan Walker, kygo and new artists like marshmelo was able to hit some sweet spot.
Marshmello sucsses proved that trap and future bass sounds are now the ruling sound of the industry during late 2010s .
But by then the golden age signature house sound faded away. If you ask a music critics of 2010 that what was the highlight of the decade, you most probably get the answer EDM
Definitely edm was the gamechanger ,an explosion in to the scene which wa predicted by many artists a long time ago, And the result was gold. The era gave great memories to music fans especially electronic music fans to cherish forever.
Hardcore edm fans believe that the era is not at all dead and it's in it's dormant stage and waiting for a huge comeback♥️ hope so😊
