Afrobeat
About
This high-energy Afrobeat track pulses with intricate polyrhythmic percussion and driving funky bass grooves that propel the listener into a communal uprising. Bold brass horn riffs punctuate call-and-response singing, building to extended improvisational solos on saxophone and trumpet amid raw, live-oriented production full of unpolished energy and audience echoes. Themes of empowerment and rebellion fuse jazz-funk layers with West African rhythms for an infectious, dance-floor protest anthem.
Lyrics
Echoes of Your Name I trace the cracks in the dark Echoes of your walls And I'm light like ink on my skin You left me shattered Pieces on the floor Chases on the floor Chasing shadows of what we could have been I'm screaming silent in this empty room Hot on fire But the world Has gone cold A.N.A. Lost in my own tomb Breeding out the love I can't let go Why do I break For what breaks me Fate imposes Pains my only friend Hold on tighter To the misery Let me go Tear it out Not nothing now Scream it loud It's too late
