Energy

Adekunle Gold's song 'Energy' delves into the profound and almost mystical connection between two people. The lyrics express a deep yearning for the presence and energy of a significant other, highlighting how this connection permeates every aspect of the narrator's life. The repeated plea for the other person's energy to always be present underscores the intensity of this bond. The collaboration with DJ Tunez and the mention of Ashanti add layers of musical and cultural richness to the track, enhancing its emotional depth.

The song employs spiritual and metaphysical imagery to describe the relationship. Phrases like 'Like a spirit, I can feel it, something spiritual' suggest that the connection transcends the physical realm, entering a space that feels almost otherworldly. This spiritual dimension is further emphasized by the mention of 'spiritual healing,' indicating that the relationship provides a sense of emotional and perhaps even existential fulfillment. The use of Yoruba phrases like 'Mo l'owo gidi l'owo' and 'AG baby mi o kiri ni'na waye' adds a cultural layer, grounding the song in Adekunle Gold's Nigerian heritage while also making it universally relatable.

The lyrics also explore the theme of obsession and the inability to escape the memory of the loved one. Lines like 'You're stuck in my memory, and I just can't erase you' and 'Losing my head when I'm with you, I can't pretend' convey a sense of being overwhelmed by the intensity of the emotions involved. This overwhelming feeling is likened to being under a spell, suggesting that the narrator is both enchanted and entrapped by this powerful connection. The song captures the duality of love as both a source of immense joy and a consuming force, making it a compelling exploration of human emotions.
