ODYSSEE Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro shows RAF Camora reflecting on his journey, which was long and full of challenges, but he was determined to follow it. He feels nervous before performing, even though fans are excited to see him. He admits he’s not made for fame and prefers staying introverted, like Yoda. He also wonders if people really see his true feelings when they look at his pictures, questioning whether he looks happy on the outside.

[Part 1]
In this part, he talks about how fame is temporary—many stars come and go and are quickly forgotten. He reflects on his own long journey, over more than ten years, and how people didn’t notice him at first. He stayed loyal to his friends while others chased superficial goals. He doesn’t care about flashy lifestyles or social media trends and focuses on what feels authentic to him. He enjoys quality over showiness, like wearing Hermès instead of generic brands, and prefers a small circle of trusted people. He’s cautious about who he lets in and keeps his private life away from online attention, showing he values authenticity and self-respect over popularity.

[Hook]
The hook repeats his journey as an odyssey—long and challenging, yet something he wanted to take on. He feels nervous before every show but recognizes that fans are eager to see him. Fame doesn’t suit him, and he’s naturally introverted, valuing privacy and depth over public recognition. He wants people to see his soul through his eyes rather than just his image. The hook emphasizes that despite the external attention, he’s focused on staying true to himself, questioning the superficial happiness that people often assume celebrities have.

[Part 2]
Here, he describes his mindset and inner struggles. He keeps pushing forward, even when he doesn’t fully understand why, and admits feeling restless or scattered, like having ADHD. He notices everything around him, overthinks, and reflects deeply, comparing himself to philosophers like Socrates. He mentions being cautious and protective, aware of people who might exploit him. He criticizes the music industry for hurting egos and warns how ego and character can affect relationships. Over time, he’s learned a lot and realized that much of the drama around him is just empty talk. He’s grown older, wiser, and more aware of what really matters.

[Hook]
The hook comes back, emphasizing the long and difficult journey he’s taken. He still feels nervous before performing but understands that people are excited to see him. Fame is not his goal; he prefers introversion and keeping a clear, honest connection with himself. He reflects on how his eyes reveal his true feelings, questioning if people notice his inner emotions beyond the public image. It reinforces the idea that his journey is personal, challenging, and shaped by authenticity rather than popularity, showing that his focus is on self-growth and staying genuine.
