Kamaliza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like you just the way you are now
Dont pray for me
I did this on my own and i got this far now
And ill get higher with it
My thoughts are lighter with it
Just to let you know i live it
Stay safe for me
I see the inner you and it hurts to let go
Dont wait for me (Dont wait for me)
I'm getting on plane and i won't be back soon
And ill get higher with it
My thoughts are lighter with it
Just to let you know i did it
Just to let you know i live it
The opening lines of Kamaliza's "Zanzibar" - "Don't change for me, I like you just the way you are now / Don't pray for me, I did this on my own and I got this far now" - convey a sense of determination and self-reliance. The singer is telling someone not to try to change or pray for them, because they have achieved their success on their own terms. The next lines, "And I'll get higher with it / My thoughts are lighter with it / Just to let you know I did it / Just to let you know I live it," reinforce this idea that the singer is proud of their accomplishments and doesn't need validation from anyone else.
The next set of lines - "Stay safe for me / I see the inner you and it hurts to let go / Don't wait for me / I'm getting on a plane and I won't be back soon" - suggest that the singer is leaving someone behind, perhaps a loved one or a friend. The use of the phrase "inner you" implies that the singer has a deep connection with this person, and the fact that it "hurts to let go" suggests that the separation is not entirely voluntary. However, the singer is resolute in their decision to leave, as indicated by the line "I'm getting on a plane and I won't be back soon."
Overall, "Zanzibar" is a song about personal growth and self-discovery, as well as the bittersweet nature of leaving behind loved ones in pursuit of one's dreams.
