AFTARAT – أفترات Lyrics Meaning

[المقطع الأول]
The artist is saying that both his enemies and friends are acting weird, like they’re not the same anymore. He spends his Thursdays writing in bars, but he doesn’t actually hang out there—he just zones out, maybe with the help of substances. He pays close attention to what people say and keeps leveling up his skills. He’s been there for people, offering support like a shoulder to lean on, but got no appreciation in return. He reflects on how he helped someone through tough times, even though he wasn’t responsible for them. Then he mentions treating himself—traveling to Spain, getting an apartment with a nice view in Manial. He tells a girl straight-up she’s not his first priority, and that’s just how he operates. If people don’t get it, he won’t explain. His crew’s solid, but other people’s friends are fake and unreliable. If anyone tries to get in their way, they’ll lose. Their fans surround and support them. He’s into his money but says he’s not materialistic. He tells someone to relax, and confidently says no one compares to him.

[اللازمة]
He says he has a lot of real friends, and no one better try talking bad about them. Anyone trying to compare themselves to him is just delusional. He’s pointing out how others are struggling while he and his crew are doing well. Even when he spends all he has, he’s still happy. He’s not looking for validation from people who don’t matter.

[جسر]
This part switches to a girl talking. She’s really overwhelmed and fed up with everyone around her. She feels like she only enjoys herself when she’s out partying or staying up late. She’s asking Mimo—probably someone close—why he’s disappeared and not replying to anyone. She sounds upset and emotionally drained.

[المقطع الثاني]
He talks about how both his enemies and even his own friends are unstable right now. On a random Tuesday, he decides to go all-in on his music. He’s not thinking dark thoughts anymore; instead, he deals with pain by working nonstop. But if someone betrays him, he’ll turn savage. He sees life as a risky game, like gambling, and relationships as either a win or a total miss. Wherever he goes, he brings respect. He jokes about someone pretending to be cute online but turning out to be fake. He travels to Berlin where his friends there live wild, and he brags a bit—saying all his exes were attractive. He warns people not to be jealous, because he and his friends went through a lot to get where they are. Unlike others, his crew is solid and real, not fake or cheaply made like “Made in China.”

[اللازمة]
Again, he reminds everyone he’s got a strong circle of friends and warns people to keep their names out of their mouths. Anyone trying to compare themselves is fooling themselves. He makes it clear others are struggling while he’s enjoying life. Even after spending what he had, he’s still good. His squad doesn’t pay attention to nobodies, and people who don’t recognize his worth aren’t worth his time.
