Radar
Noah Slee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I fly under the Radar
Soon enough we will all catch up
And then we'll unleash our power
Keep it on the down low
No stiletto
Can you feel this energy?
Let it be your medicine
I'm already flying fly high (high)
I can't force these things
Now I know I've seen, I've learned, I'm living
Oh ohoh, they say this, you say that
I have come to terms
With what I need
Dream my dream, my dream, I love it
Oh oh ooh
I'm already flying fly high (high)
I fly under the Radar
I fly under the Radar
Soon enough we will all catch up
And then we'll unleash our power
I'm already flying fly high (high)
In "Radar" by Noah Slee, the singer declares that he flies under the radar, which means that he tries to stay out of sight and unobtrusive in his actions and behavior. He repeats the phrase twice to emphasize its importance. He believes that soon everybody will catch up to him, and when that happens, they will unleash their power. He asks to keep things on the down low and not draw attention to themselves. He claims that he can feel this energy and allows radiation to take them to another place, acting as medicine. The lyrics continuously build upon his message of individual transcendence, but he also recognizes that differences exist in people's opinions and that he needs to come to terms with what he needs.
The song emphasizes individuality and individual transcendence as Slee sings about his unique experience in life. Skipping a traditional song structure, the melody is sparse, giving ample room for the smooth, soulful vocals to dictate the vibe. Moreover, part of the song's appeal is its indistinct, ethereal vibe with a focus on the lyrics more than anything. Slee was genuinely inspired by Jimi Hendrix's spacey guitar and claimed that it shaped the direction he took on "Radar." The spacey ambiance complements the lyrics' theme of rising above and claiming your individuality, and Slee's inflection mirrors emotions perfectly, making this song a meaningful and thought-provoking experience for listeners.
