Portland Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

you can take it all
if you'll wed me you'll be the only one
and you're gonna tear the words tonight
I'm the mighty aphrodite
tonight
I don't know if I should
'till I know better
wanna play with my

you can take it all

if you're willing you'll be the only pawn

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Portland's song "Aphrodite" talk about a desire to be with someone so much that they are willing to give up everything for them. The song's title references the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, which suggests that the singer is willing to do anything for the person they are addressing. The line "if you'll wed me, you'll be the only one" implies a desire for a committed relationship in which the singer can give their all to their partner. However, the line "you can take it all" could suggest a power dynamic in the relationship in which the singer is willing to give up everything but may be taken advantage of by their partner. The lyrics also have a sensual undertone, with the line "wanna play with my" suggesting physical intimacy.

Overall, "Aphrodite" speaks to the intense desire to be with someone and the willingness to do anything for them. It also touches upon themes of power dynamics in relationships and the desire for physical intimacy.
