Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiho mai ahau kia noho (haere, hoatu koutou)
Nau mai te waru whakahihiko
Me puta rā? Ehara
Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
Noho ana I te rēhia
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau
Ki te ina I ngā hīhī o te rā
Taku rite, ko hinemoana
E puta I te pō ki te ao mārama (rama, rama, rama)
Titiro ki mua, hoake tāua
Wai uri, wai pounamu
Kani ana ngā mōrehu
Whiua aku māharahara ki waho rā
Hinengaro wātea
Hanahana ana ko taku kiri
Noho ana I te rēhia
Kei taku taha taku kaingākau (kaingākau)
E te tī, te tā, tahuti mai rā
Ki te ina I ngā hīhī o te rā
Taku rite, ko hinemoana
E puta I te pō ki te ao mārama (rama, rama, rama)
Piri mai hine-raumati
Taukamo kia puta rā koe ki te ao mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
Mārama, rama, mārama
In Lorde's song Solar Power, she sings about the transformative power of the sun and how it affects her personally. She starts off by expressing her dislike for the winter and the cold, commonly canceling plans due to the weather. However, when the heat of the sun takes hold, she feels a burning desire and energy that she can't ignore. She feels empowered and in control, as she confidently asks if she can "kick it." She then goes on to describe her physical appearance with her cheeks flushed in "high color" and compares herself to "overripe peaches," revealing a sense of sensuality and indulgence.
Lorde's lyrics take on a spiritual and almost religious tone as she compares herself to a "prettier Jesus," inviting others to join her on the beaches and share her secrets. She emphasizes the idea of starting fresh and leaving the past behind, asking listeners to forget the tears and move forward into a new state of mind. She continues to describe the scene around her, with girls dancing in the sand and her throwing her phone into the water, suggesting a detachment from the modern world.
The chorus brings back the theme of the sun's power, but in a more direct way, using the repetition of "solar power" to convey a sense of energy and vibrancy. She encourages listeners to embrace this energy and let the "bliss begin," offering a playful invitation to "blink three times" when they feel it kicking in.
Overall, Lorde's Solar Power is a celebration of the transformative power of nature, specifically the sun, and how it can bring about personal growth and empowerment.
