Fireboy “Apollo†Album Lyrics Breakdown by Emlr(f) : 8:10 pm |
Fireboy returned to the music with his sophomore album titled “Apolloâ€. The album was named after “Apollo†the Greek god who is recognized as the Olympian god of light, truth, prophecy, poetry, healing, and music.It is also interesting to note that Apollo was considered to be the head of the nine muses in Greek mythology. The nine muses are goddesses of the various arts such as music, dance, and poetry and are blessed not only with wonderful artistic talents themselves but also with great beauty, grace, and allure.So what is the motive behind this intriguing name for the album? Fireboy intends to show the world that he has attained the status of a god. According to the singer, the debut album was a dream, he showed the real Damola and perfection and on this new album, he intends to show how much of a god he has become. On his debut album, “Laughter, Tears, and Goosebumpsâ€, he was a loverboy, a hopeless romantic guy but on “Apolloâ€, he shows a much more confident side that really never gets to see the light. The album displays his outlook on life, his journey as an artiste, and the drama in the Nigerian music space, and in this article, we would be giving a detailed breakdown of the lyrics of each song on the album. Fireboy Apollo Album – “LISTEN“ Track 1. “Champion†ft D Smoke On the first track, he said it out loud and clear for everyone to know that he is the best artiste his generation has ever seen. He sang,
The Power Holding Company of Nigeria never misses when it comes to dishing out bills – they never miss. Just like ‘NEPA’, Fireboy never misses in releasing hits back to back. He kills everything he does.Â
He reminds everyone including his haters that he’s a King, a champion, and legend in the making In the chorus..
Ending the track, he reminisces on how he was just like every other kid on the streets dreaming to become a star.
He also sings about his rise and falls before making it to the top.
Fireboy is sure of his craft and he believes he is a champion and no one can take that away from him. Track 2. “Spell†ft Wande Coal Fireboy and Wande Coal sing about being hypnotized and enamored with a beautiful woman. Fireboy lights up the vibe with a catchy chorus.
This further stresses that he is under a Spell. Track 3. “Eli†Fireboy delivers a sound that infuses elements of Chinese music culture (the Chuigushou), dancehall, and Jazz with a splash of Afrobeat. The track is about the mesmerizing power of a woman (Delilah) he is trying to resist. The name is taken from the biblical character “Delilah†who brought about the downfall of Samson. The singer opens up the track singing about how she looks like an angelic and innocent belly dancer but is actually a venomous type that cast spell on everyone that comes her way
He begs to be released from her spell because he doesn’t want to end up like Samson.
Track 4. “Tattoo†This is probably Fireboy’s most sexual song. He pleads to be like a tattoo on the body of his lover and the one to feed her with the magic stick anytime she needs one.
Track 5. “Favorite Song†This sounds like a track Micheal Jackson would love to hop on because it’s got classic vibes. Fireboy wants to have a nice time with someone dear to him.
Track 6. “New York City Girl†This track follows the sweet story of Fireboy falling in love with a girl who came from New York City for the summer. He pleads for a chance before she goes back even if she has a man. Knowing the affair is likely to end in premium tears and heartbreak, he tells her to run away with him. The storyline tends to make one think of his hit track “Jealous“
Track 7. “Lifestyle†Now this track is a direct jab at his haters (the silly broke ass Niggas). Fireboy says it’s been nothing but hate since he got his first hit song “Jealous“. He says he couldn’t care less what they think because he’s about running things his way.
Fireboy has been criticized for not showing his face enough, spending more time on social media like his colleagues. In the chorus, he says he doesn’t fake his quiet life because it’s a lifestyle, it’s his way of living.
Seems like some people really stepped on Fireboy’s toes. In another verse, he sings that he’s better than most of his haters.
He thanked Olamide and ST which stands for Seyi Tinubu, the CEO/Chairman, Loatsad Promomedia for discovering him and making him the star that he is today. Obviously a superstar like Fireboy would have girls all over him but he apparently doesn’t have the time and energy.
Track 8. “Airplane Mode†Fireboy gets really personal and shows a vulnerable side. He sings about the stress from friends and family and how he has to live like an animal.
Fireboy understands his rise to being one of the finest acts would create conversation that he is trying to be number one. His aim isn’t just to be the greatest ever, he only wants to be one of the greatest to ever do it.
Due to the weight placed on his shoulders, Fireboy says he feels like he’s about to lose his mind. It’s a way of telling you that even if he has attained a god status, he is very much human like the rest of us.
Having to explain to people you want to be alone and do things on your own can be quite annoying. Fireboy says he just wants to be and doesn’t want to see any message from anybody (Go flight mode).
In the second verse, he cries out about his woes ranging from money problems to woman drama and also the competition. He drops an important message – ‘Grace Is Important But The Talent Is A Plus’. He lets listeners into a reality that they can relate to – ‘The Reality Of Wanting To Give Up And Let Go’.
Track 9. “24( (Interlude)†This is probably the track with the deepest lyrics and it is worthy to note that Fireboy is 24 years old. Its an intentional track to break the album an express himself. In the beginning, it sounds like he’s talking to himself
and then again, it sounds like he’s not.
As the track fades gradually, he goes back to talking to himself, but this time, he softens up and encourages himself that everything is going to be fine.
Track 10. “Dreamer†This track tells the relatable story of an unfaithful lover. Fireboy is devastated that his beloved fell in love with someone else. He finds it hard to believe that its been a one sided love affair all along. Once again, he puts on the lover boy cape but this time he sings about love gone sour.
He calls her out for leading him on despite knowing she was never going to stay.
Track 11. “Afar†ft Olamide Fireboy is exhausted with all the hate and negativity around him. He sings about being unproblematic and only wanting to think and grow unlike the smokers and drinkers.
He understands that he would definitely have enemies due to his career and tells reminds himself to0 be extremely careful and listen to his instincts. He says it is better for his enemies to love him from afar.
Olamide’s in his part sings to all the narcissist, two faced individuals and sycophants not to come close.
Track 12. “Go Away†Fireboy is catching feelings for someone and doesn’t like it one bit. What he is feeling doesn’t make sense and wants it to go away.
He questions how he was able to fall in love with her in the first place because she makes him feel good in the worst way.
After acting like someone that could never fall in love, Fireboy says he’s fallen hard and is losing control over his mind, body and soul. Seems like this lady really got to him.
Track 13. “Shade†A certain Shade seems to have captured his heart and this track is dedicated to her killer body and dance moves.
Track 14. “Friday Feeling†A song basically to get one in the mood for a Friday night of fun. Fireboy says there shouldn’t be a reason to start a party, always create the party mood yourself, dance to the rhythm of songs even if you don’t know the lyrics, Enjoy because you only have one life to live, Enjoy every moments.
Track 15. “God Only Knows†Fireboy seems to have wronged his lover and now he regrets pushing her away. He prays to God to bring her back his way
Fireboy understand that only God knows whether she still knows him or would ever see him again.
He pleads for one more chance and roses to be a better man despite letting her down several times. He confesses to be messed up in his head for hurting her.
Track 16. “Sound“ Fireboy sings about his love for music, how he is love with the sound. Shares that he can’t control himself whenever he hears the sound, he just to surrender himself, leaves whatever he is doing at the moment and go with the sound playing in his head. According to the lyrics of this track Sound is life for Fireboy, that is existence.
Track 17. “Remember Me†On the last track, he sends out a message to his fans to remember him always. He tells them to say stories of his struggles, how he lived with kindness and love in his heart, how he travelled between space and time. He urges them not to leave any story behind.
Remember me when i go, remember me when i can no longer talk, remember me when its all over, Fireboy tells his fans
Also to round it up he also encouraged everyone to do/say things that they would be remembered for. Leave a legacy behind because there is an end to everything, One day we would all retire, exit and pass away. “One day when it is your time, You will leave this world behind, All the things you said and did, Will be your legacy, Ooh ohh… “ Fireboy “Apollo†Album GET FULL LYRICS HEREÂThe post Fireboy “Apollo†Album Lyrics Breakdown appeared first on tooXclusive.
