Afroki
STEVE AOKI feat. STEVE AOKI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was afraid that you could tell.
I was afraid of what I felt.
I was afraid it wasn't real.
But I wanna get up, up, up
And I wanna let go, oh, oh
'Cause I'm ready to take control.
Take a look at me,
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
No
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
Cold in the shadow of my doubt
So scared to step out from the crowd
But I am a wildfire now
Too hot for you put me out
'Cause I'm burning it up, up, up
And I'm tearing it down, own, own
I've been waiting here long enough
Take a look at me
Take a look at me
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
No
I'm not afraid anymore
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear (I'm ready)
No fear and no tears
I'm not afraid anymore, anymore
No fear and no tears
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid anymore
I'm not afraid anymore
The lyrics of Steve Aoki's song "Afroki" appear to speak to themes of overcoming fear, being true to oneself, and embracing one's inner fire. The opening lines suggest a sense of hesitation and fear, as the singer admits to being afraid to be themselves, afraid of being exposed or judged, and afraid that their feelings might not be genuine. However, the chorus shifts into a more assertive tone, with the singer expressing their desire to "get up" and "take control" while declaring that they are no longer afraid.
The second verse further emphasizes this theme of empowerment, with the singer declaring themselves to be a "wildfire" that is too powerful for others to extinguish. There is a sense of rebellion in this verse, as the singer suggests that they are "tearing it down" and have been waiting long enough to assert their power.
Overall, the song appears to be an anthem of self-empowerment, encouraging listeners to overcome fear and embrace their true selves.
