Afrodite is a late-night confession wrapped in the scent of salt, sunscreen and sleepless parties. Blanco invites us onto sun-drenched yachts and into alcohol-fogged bathrooms where he tries to “kill an emotion”. He piles on drugs, loud music and summer celebrations to silence the anxiety spinning inside him, yet ends up alone, eyes swallowed by the dark, feeling like “a bottomless well.”
Against this backdrop of glittering escapism rises Afrodite—the dream goddess who could refill his empty heart. She is “something that has never existed,” an almost mythical cure able to raise his endorphins, gift him new reasons to laugh and recreate the rush of first love. When she calls, he runs barefoot over barbed wire, ready to abandon every hollow thrill for a taste of real connection. The song captures that tug-of-war between quick fixes and genuine feelings, painting a vivid picture of youthful excess colliding with an aching need for meaning and love.
