Aphrodite
Sundive Lyrics

The lyrics to Sundive's song, "Aphrodite," describe a feeling of being helplessly in love with someone or something, almost to the point of being controlled by it. The object of this love is referred to as Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. The first line, "Aphrodite, she dances in my veins," represents the idea that this love is all-consuming and affects the very essence of the singer's being. The line "Taking control, she's my sweetheart" suggests that this love feels both irresistible and dangerous, as if the singer is being led astray by someone they have an intense emotional connection with. However, despite the danger, the singer is unable to resist the pull of this love, as evidenced by the repetition of the lines "I can't help it, I can't resist her godly hold" and "Pull me deeper, making me never want to go home."

The second half of the song shifts somewhat in tone, suggesting that the person who was previously the singer's Aphrodite is now departing, leaving the singer feeling lost and alone. The line "You've cheated death, take a step into my shoes" may refer to a near-death experience that the singer has had or that they imagine their departed loved one having had, which has led to a change in perspective. The lines "Too good, she's leaving to find another/Chasing around but you can't find yourself" convey a sense of loss and confusion, as if the person being sung about is searching for something they cannot quite grasp. Despite this, the singer still loves this person, declaring that "from Venus and New York I still love you."

Overall, the lyrics of "Aphrodite" convey a powerful sense of both the joys and dangers of falling deeply in love. The references to the Greek goddess and to different locations suggest a universal quality to this feeling, as if it is something that transcends time, place, and specific individuals.
