Time waits for no one, and neither does The Afro Nick. With "Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)", the Greek-born, LA-based artist delivers a sun-soaked, psychedelic wake-up call, a swirling fusion of indie rock grit, cosmic textures, and restless urgency. The song leans into the hazy allure of the West Coast, capturing both the euphoria of the chase and the anxiety of time slipping away. Following his signature blend of distorted guitar riffs, hypnotic synths, and unfiltered lyricism, The Afro Nick doesn’t just sing about seizing the moment, he makes you feel it. The song plays like a dream that lingers long after you wake up, a heady reminder that life won’t slow down, so you’d better keep moving. Let’s dive in!
The song plays like a fever dream, fragmented thoughts wrapped in swirling synths and fuzzy guitar riffs, all circling around one pressing idea: time is slipping away, and you better move before it’s too late. Lyrically, the song feels like a conversation with yourself, an inner monologue caught between defiance and inevitability.
The verses drift in with a detached, almost weary acceptance of the world’s pressures:
“Everywhere you go / And all things you do / They try to say to you / They try to say what to do...”
There’s a feeling of being pushed around, expected to conform, but the protagonist isn’t so easily swayed. He knows who he is, even if the world doesn’t always see it.
“And then you think I am / You know I am me / But all you do is wait / Until everything’s gone...”
The last line lands like a warning. Hesitation leads to regret. Wait too long, and suddenly, there’s nothing left.
Then comes the chorus—simple, repetitive, yet devastating in its truth:
“And on one day / You gonna miss that day...”
It’s a moment of realization, that gut-punch of awareness that life doesn’t wait for you to figure things out. The way The Afro Nick sings it, it’s not an if—it’s a when. You will miss a day. You will look back and wonder why you didn’t move faster. And then the guitar solo kicks in, frantic, restless, like time speeding up. The drums crash, the synths swirl, the urgency builds.
The second verse offers a response, a call to action:
“And all you have to do / Is say I am me...”
It’s a defiant statement. The only way forward is to own who you are. To stop letting the past define you:
“I got to live this life / Not yesterday...”
There’s no nostalgia here, no looking back. The Afro Nick delivers it with a matter-of-fact conviction, as if reminding himself just as much as the listener.
And yet, there’s hesitation. A creeping doubt lingers in the background:
“I know you will say / I’ll find my way...”
It’s the kind of phrase people repeat to themselves—I’ll get there eventually. But what if eventually never comes?
Then, the song hits its most hypnotic, looping refrain:
“But all you have to do / Is get there before noon...”
It’s as if the song is stuck in a time loop, circling around this single demand. Get there before noon. Before the clock runs out. Before you lose your chance.
Then comes the shift—the moment of self-doubt. Or maybe self-awareness.
“I know I’m insane / I might be insane...”
Is this madness or truth? A desperate plea, or the only way to truly live?
“But all you have to do / Is get there before noon...”
The line repeats, over and over, drumming the urgency into your skull. No more waiting. No more wasting time. Then, the song dissolves into a warped, video-game-like distortion-like the fabric of time itself glitching. And suddenly, an alarm clock rings. It’s noon. Did you make it? Or did you wake up too late?
It's evident The Afro Nick has crafted a track that urges you to move, to chase, to arrive before the moment slips away. So don’t just sit there, press play, turn it up, and let the music take you where you need to be. Just don’t be late. Listen below now!
