POV
Felukah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What the fk is they sayin'
Fk is they feelin'
Who they think they playin'
Growin' for a reason
Knowin' that I'm leaving
I'm keeping your dreams
And I'm gleamin'
Deep breathin'
My mind on Arab Spring
Every season, yeah
Allo yaani eh el kalam da
Felukah sweet like the manga

Fel sahel el shamali maali rah
Sereft feloosi on that doobie
Olt anzel el bahr
Bas bardo on my mind
Is a rock and a hard spot
Akher mara shoftak shit got real hot
And I'm not against the flow of the water
Meta meditative Mediterranean daughter
I caught this love for life
It's bigger than any fish
Ahli dayman gambi
Try to play me boy you wish, yeah
No boy you wish, yeah
Oh boy you say you try to play me
But you wish, yeah

Hooks on a train, yeah
Man I feel the world rotate
Think I wrote 3 different songs today
Oh shit
Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit
Allo yaani eh el kalam da

Momken tetla3 fahem
W momken matefhamsh
Weghet nazar qawi el basar
Qessa te2oom ma3 sheroo2 el shams
Kol el hawalaya
Mashi bel kalabsh
Yabni watti soot el radio
3ayzak terken 3ala el gamb
You roll up with your friends
I'm here with this dilemma
Mesh 3arfa aspot
Shakli hakot
Wakteb le geel a letter
Ayooha al azdeka2
Who been caught in a mix
Clouded by this pollution
Losin' dreams and takin pics
2oomi ya benti yalla
This is your time to fix
The model that long been broken
No building just made of bricks
3andek a7lam engezi
3ayza at3alem sa7
This point of view lil trippy
But it's rooted in love, yo

I, I've been learning
I, sun been burning
I, I keep the heat up
I keep it up, yeah

POV let it profound you
Let it hit where you it hurts
Got icepack for the wounds
Bruised and beat up ideas
I'm schemin' up on the loose
Not speeding by
I'm tryin' to cruise
With you

Look for this kind of sunlight
Let life teach you what it will
Tethered to open sky
Might not get it now but you will
Look for this kind of sunlight
Let life teach you what it will
Tethered to open sky
Might not get it now but you will

The whole world
Done got me spinnin'
Reminiscin' missin' kissin'
Listen to the rhythms
I listen to the rhythms




And I trust in this life
I trust in this life

Overall Meaning

The song "POV" by Felukah is a complex and introspective look at identity, purpose, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The lyrics are full of references to the Arab Spring, personal growth, and the challenges of balancing dreams and reality. The opening lines "What the fk is they sayin'/Fk is they feelin'/Who they think they playin'" suggest a sense of frustration and isolation, as the singer tries to make sense of the world around them. The song touches on themes of self-discovery, as Felukah navigates her own identity as a "Meta meditative Mediterranean daughter," caught between different cultures and conflicting expectations.


The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Allo yaani eh el kalam da," is a nod to the Arabic language and its musicality. The lyrics are both poetic and thoughtful, exploring the complexities of life and the search for meaning. The song is also deeply personal, reflecting Felukah's own experiences as an Egyptian-American artist.


Overall, "POV" is a powerful and poignant exploration of identity, culture, and the human experience.
