Alrighty Aphrodite
Peach Pit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If the ocean's not enough, nor am I
Rollin' in, I feel a dark swell
Crawlin' up the skin of my spine
If I'd known you sold on maybe
I'd've let you waste another guy
Well, alrighty, Aphrodite
Run your morning bath in sea foam
Soak your milky skin in the tide
Little pearl, you think you're in gold
But I can see the dirt in your lines
If I'd known you sold on maybe
I'd've let you waste another guy
Well, alrighty, Aphrodite
Go whip that red for other eyes
If I'd known you sold on maybe
Then, I'd've let you waste another guy
Well, alrighty, Aphrodite
Go whip that red for other eyes
The lyrics of Peach Pit's song Alrighty Aphrodite showcase a conversation between the singer and Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. The lyricist starts by asking Aphrodite to take a seat back in her clam shell, implying that the goddess should retreat back into her world of luxury and beauty, away from the singer's mundane reality. The singer acknowledges that despite his efforts, he can't match up to the beauty of the ocean and the goddess. He communicates that he is overwhelmed and feels a dark swell crawling up his spine in her presence.
The song progresses with the singer observing Aphrodite's vanity and her carefully maintained image. He highlights that she is self-absorbed and takes a dig at her by implying that she should go and focus on others, rather than continue to whip that red hair for other eyes. He goes on to say that she does a good job of presenting herself as a pearl, but he can see through the facade and the dirt in her lines.
The song shines a light on the power dynamics at play in a relationship, where one person feels inferior and the other feels superior, often resulting in a lack of mutual understanding. The lyrics are an interesting take on the Greek mythology, where the singer appears to be a mortal who is talking to a goddess, completing the sense of underdog vs. superior.
