Lyrics
Call me Aphrodite
Identifying as Aphrodite, a symbol of love and beauty in Greek mythology.
Stealing hearts since I emerged out of the sea
Claiming to have been captivating hearts since emerging from the sea.
Naked and afraid
Expressing vulnerability, being exposed and defenseless.
In a world full of hate
In a world filled with negativity and hostility.
How can I escape?
Pondering the challenge of escaping such a harsh environment.
You thought that I was weak
Addressing the misconception of weakness others may have.
Just like a girl
Commenting on stereotypes associated with being a girl.
'Cause I'm pretty and sweet
Noting external judgments based on appearance (being pretty and sweet).
And I like all of the pearls
Expressing a preference for unconventional beauty, like leather jackets with a cross.
But I like the leather jackets with the cross over the heart
Linking personal style to improved precision in actions (aiming darts).
Makes it easier for me to aim my darts
Emphasizing directness and accuracy in communication or actions.
Bang bang, I'm a straight shooter
Repeating the declaration of being a straight shooter.
Bang bang, just another player
Acknowledging a role as a participant in relationships without commitment.
Oooh Oooh
Adding a melodic, expressive element to the song.
Bang bang, I'm a straight shooter
Reiterating the claim of being straightforward and honest.
Bang bang, just another player
Reinforcing the idea of being a player in romantic interactions.
So baby I'm your queen
Asserting dominance and positioning oneself as a queen.
Bow down to your new sovereign
Demanding respect and submission from others.
Call me Aphrodite
Repeating the identification as Aphrodite, emphasizing allure through a siren's voice.
With a siren's voice to lure them in
Highlighting a sense of exile despite being perceived as divine.
Exiled from above
Correcting the misconception of being a god, revealing human desires for love.
You thought I was a god
Challenging the notion of being an angel sent from heaven.
An angel sent from heaven
Expressing a desire for love without abruptness.
But all I want is love
Rejecting disruptions in the pursuit of affection.
Nothing too abrupt
Describing a rough exterior but assuring non-aggressive behavior.
For you to disrupt
Highlighting inner goodness with a metaphorical golden interior and copper light.
Stop making me blush
Repeating the declaration of being a straight shooter.
I'm rough around the edges but don't worry I don't bite
Repeating the acknowledgment of a player role in relationships.
I'm golden on the inside with a copper light
Posing a question about a potential new romantic interest.
Bang bang, I'm a straight shooter
Repeating the declaration of being a straight shooter.
Bang bang, just another player
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a player role in relationships.
Oooh Oooh
Adding a melodic, expressive element to the song.
Bang bang, are you my new sailor?
Posing a question about the listener's commitment.
Bang bang, start saying a prayer
Suggesting the need for caution and preparation in the relationship.
So baby I'm your queen
Reasserting dominance and the role as a queen.
Bow down to your new sovereign
Repeating the demand for submission from others.
