Aphrodite
Flash Bang Grenada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a drizzle, the sky's not falling
Chicken Little baby I'm not balling
Sonny son is only twenty-something
But honey dumpling can't you smell the money coming? (I can smell it)
These other girls, well they're from another planet
Their language is alien, I don't wanna understand it
They're all underhanded like fast pitch softball
Now you know I hate a fast bitch, aw nah
When I'm up to bat you know it's easy to hit
Like home run derby, so I run home early
I don't feel safe 'till I touch home plate
I apologise for times I slid into home late
The future looks promising
And that's a diamond on your finger not a promise ring
Honestly the past is the past, we can straighten out the kinks
And tomorrow and after we can stay a thousand weeks

I don't know what the future holds
I don't know the truth of our history
All I know is that I'm here right now
And it happens to be that I'm happy you're with me
I'm happy you're with me, I'm happy you're with me
I said I'm happy you're here with me
I'm so glad, I'm so glad
I said I'm happy you're here with me
I said I'm happy you're here with me

Once again, seems I've got me some girl trouble
So she's not my friend
But it won't make my world crumble
(Repeated x2)

Yeah, check me out
You was acting like a TV star with PPR on your dress shoes
Fresh dudes sipping bath water out of test tubes
But never me, I was hear to set moods
I'm a breath of fresh air my chest hair filters jet fumes
Yeah, you was captain of the volleyball varsity team, party machine
Dressed like Miley Cyrus marketing schemes ___________
Bringing home niggas that made your legal guardians scream
And they followed you but there's a ____________
You're young and distressed cause they want you to come and undress
But you're like 'nah' on the hundredth request
Well I'm sending you advice to have hummus and crepes
Like, come on girl, I not gonna play the part
Your lady parts are great but your wits are far from razor sharp
And you know my job is to invade the arts
You're breaking hearts so make your mark I'll see you at the Fader Fort

I don't know what the future holds
After dating me you'll probably need a hysterectomy
All I know is that I'm here right now
And child you've got my heart so I guess take the rest of me




You can have the rest of me, you can have the rest of me
You can have the rest of me, I'm so glad

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Flash Bang Grenada's "Aphrodite" sets up a comparison between the singer's significant other and other women, using baseball metaphors to describe his affection towards her. He claims that his love for her is like home plate in a game, and he apologizes for "sliding into home late," suggesting that he has made mistakes in their relationship in the past. Despite this, he feels that the future looks promising, and he acknowledges that their relationship is based on being together in the present moment.


The second verse takes a more critical tone towards women in general, describing them as "alien" and "underhanded." The singer addresses a woman directly, criticizing her for dressing like Miley Cyrus and bringing home men that her legal guardians disapproved of. He suggests that she is not very intelligent and encourages her to try hummus and crepes instead of engaging in casual sex.


Overall, the song explores themes of love, relationships, and the differences between people. The baseball metaphors and references to popular culture highlight the singer's individuality and the specific experiences that shape his perspective. The song encourages listeners to appreciate what they have in the present moment and to be true to their own values, rather than conforming to societal expectations.
