Wetin

Yarden's song 'Wetin' delves into the intoxicating and sometimes perplexing nature of love. The lyrics open with a direct question, 'Wetin dey your mind, I want to know,' which translates to 'What's on your mind, I want to know.' This sets the stage for a narrative where the singer is deeply curious and invested in understanding his partner's thoughts and feelings. The willingness to follow his partner anywhere signifies a deep level of commitment and trust, highlighting the all-consuming nature of his affection.

The metaphor of 'Colorado' is particularly striking. In Nigerian slang, 'Colorado' often refers to a potent form of marijuana, suggesting that the love he feels is as intoxicating and euphoric as a drug. The line 'And I don't really mind if I overdose' further emphasizes this, indicating that he is willing to lose himself completely in this love, even if it means going beyond his limits. This metaphor paints a vivid picture of love as something that can be both exhilarating and overwhelming.

The repeated phrase 'This kind loving, e get as e be' translates to 'This kind of love, it has its own way.' This suggests that the love he is experiencing is unique and perhaps difficult to understand. The plea to know why his partner doesn't reciprocate his feelings adds a layer of vulnerability and confusion. Despite this, he offers his soul freely, indicating a selfless and unconditional love. The song captures the highs and lows of romantic relationships, portraying love as a powerful force that can both elevate and confound.
