ABOVE BELOW Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets a confrontational tone with assertive declarations. “Don’t don’t know me” implies defiance against being misunderstood or underestimated. The repetition of “unpredictable” and “irresistible” suggests a powerful presence that can’t be easily grasped or controlled. “Taking you all below” hints at leading others into unknown depths or challenging situations, possibly reflecting a metaphorical journey or power dynamic where the speaker asserts dominance.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the lyrics describe a realm where the speaker holds sway, likening it to a “Queendom in the borderline.” They exude confidence (“Run it, no surprise”) and challenge adversaries who attempt to oppose them, confidently predicting defeat (“You ain’t gonna win but you can try”). The mention of “Fool’s games” and being called “corrupt” suggests criticism or opposition faced, yet they remain undeterred, focusing sharply (“Aiming my sight down right on your heart”). The metaphor of throwing keys and shutting down indicates control or dominance over situations or individuals.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus emphasizes themes of justice and consequence. It suggests a defiance against rules or expectations (“Love it, the forbidden, you’re never forgiven”) and a determination to enforce consequences for actions (“Not one to just forget”). The imagery of rising higher while others “dive further” implies a power dynamic where the speaker ascends in influence or strength while challengers falter.

[Chorus]
The chorus portrays a sense of mystery and power. “Standing on the edge” suggests being at a critical juncture or in a position of danger or opportunity. The repetition of “don’t know me, unpredictable” reinforces the theme of defying expectations or being enigmatic. The line “as above so below” hints at a dualistic nature or balance between different realms or aspects of life, inviting listeners into a journey where truths are revealed gradually.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the lyrics delve into challenges and adversaries faced (“Rushing in a fantasy, Wannabe disease”). There’s a sense of urgency (“Sure that you won’t ever make it out”) and a determination to pursue targets relentlessly (“New target locked on it now”). The dismissal of enemies (“Girl, I lost count”) underscores a focus on personal goals or objectives, with a resolute mindset (“See your guilty heart, We’re not gonna stop, it’s just the start”).

[Breakdown]
The breakdown section intensifies the assertiveness and action-oriented themes. “Get down get darada” and “Taking me up up up let’s go” suggest a readiness for action or movement. The repetition of commands and questions (“Like it like that? Run it like that”) emphasizes a confident and commanding presence. The reference to light and night (“Run in the light, oh my dio, Run in the night, oh my dio”) could symbolize navigating challenges or opposition across different circumstances or times.

[Pre-Chorus]
This pre-chorus reinforces the earlier themes of justice and defiance. The imagery of “Never ending, endless sky” suggests limitless potential or challenges to overcome. The repetition of “Justice, just like that” and “Not one to just forget” indicates a steadfast commitment to principles or goals, with an unwavering determination to prevail or assert influence.

[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates themes of mystery, power, and unpredictability. “Standing on the edge” echoes the earlier sense of being poised between different realms or states. The lyrics continue to emphasize the speaker’s unique perspective (“my level no you’ll never know”) and the interconnectedness of different aspects of existence (“as above so below”). It culminates with an invitation to embrace the unknown and embark on a journey where the rules are rewritten and challenges are faced head-on.
