Amanda fra Nes har vokst opp i et hjem fullt av klassiske instrumenter. Egenhendig lærte hun seg å spille både fiolin og piano, til tross for at hun aldri har studert musikk. Da hun nådde tenårene begynte hun å skrive sine egne låter. Da hun lastet opp noen coverlåter på ulike plattformer, tok det ikke lang tid før teamet bak Nico & Vinz fattet interesse for stortalentet. Hun ble en del av deres indielabel, GR:OW Records, og planlegger å slippe mer musikk i løpet av 2016. Amandas låtskriving er smart, og har alltid en tydelig hensikt – ikke ulikt legendariske Sia. Hennes rå og tidvis dype sound gjør det nærliggende å trekke paralleller til artister som M.I.A og Lorde.
Dirhamz
Amanda Delara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pull up to the scene like everybody freeze
Putting him in handcuffs, wishing him all bad luck
Nothing that you say is ever gonna get you free
It's not like he was up for it when it went down
He was just a young star with no other plans
To come to the station thinking it was damned
Mister policeman, I am just a man
And why all this suppression? I had no intentions
Why you losing patience with me?
Pushing out confessions
What is to confess when I'm just try'nna make a living?
x2
Put on a flee, climbing the fence
Start a new life in some distant land
Back on the streets where it began
Pushing cocaine and chasing dirhamz
Down on his knees to pray, only way it felt like he had a say
Big walls in the backyard, wired up in chains
With his brain working out an escape
'Cause he couldn't put a stop to it when it went down
He was just a young star when it all began
Now he's on the station, try'nna take a stand
Mister policeman, I am just a man
The song "Dirhamz" by Amanda Delara addresses the reality of being caught up in a drug trafficking scheme, and the desperation that comes with it. The singer describes a situation where they find themselves in handcuffs, and despite the fact that they claim to have had no intention of committing the crime, no one is willing to believe them. The desperation is palpable throughout the song, as the singer is seeking a way out of their current predicament.
The emotions conveyed in the song are very intense, and the lyrics touch on themes such as powerlessness and desperation. The singer is pleading with the police to believe them, but it becomes clear that their efforts are in vain. The authorities have already made up their minds, and they are intent on locking up the singer. The desperation is also evident in the chorus, as the singer recounts the measures they would go to escape their current situation, even if it means leaving everything behind and starting a new life elsewhere.
