dEUS Lyrics

My dynamo, dynamo
Referring to the author's state of mind or energy, which is inconstant and changeable. The repetition of 'dynamo' could indicate a sense of instability or unsteadiness.

it's hard to keep the animo
The singer struggles to maintain motivation or enthusiasm for life.

from driftin' away nowadays
There seems to be a current of negativity, doubt or exhaustion going on around the singer which is making it difficult to maintain a positive outlook.

The horror, the pain, let's get into details
The artist plans to acknowledge negative or traumatic events in their life instead of trying to forget about them

the bass, the piano, the friction of dynamo
Certain stimuli such as music or art can help remind the artist of their love of life and give hope

Every thought has its own way of keeping its flavour,
Thoughts and emotions can have a unique quality that can persist even if they seem small or insignificant. The metaphor of 'flavour' is used to describe this unique quality.

like a gum for the brain to chew on
Thoughts and memories can stick around in one's mind and remain vivid and relevant even if they don't seem to make a big impact.

Compatible allies and as dead as a dice
People who might seem supportive or similar can actually be uninvolved or unsupportive in the end. They can be as useless as a die that doesn't roll.

it's the thing between nowhere and the opposite side
There is something in life that is both elusive and omnipresent, like a space between two things. It can seem very important but also very indescribable.

It's the something hidden behind the eloquent surface
There is a hidden, often darker side to things that might appear or seem pleasant or well-intentioned.

father of fuckups you did it on purpose!
Addressed to a specific person, this line implies that they have made a deliberate mistake or plan that went wrong. It's unclear who the singer is talking to.

I decline to believe that it's personal
The artist doesn't want to believe that any negative situation or interaction is targeted against them specifically. It's important to note the usage of 'decline' instead of 'refuse,' which has a sense of politeness or gentleness.

hey, I know that you do
The singer acknowledges that someone else might believe differently.

and I'll hold it against you
Despite not wanting to believe that negative situations are personal, the singer plans to remember or hold grudges against those who perpetuate negativity.

It's the bald man's dream to grow hair, baby
Being able to do something that may seem silly or impossible to some could be desirable, regardless of social expectations or norms.

but a lame don't need legs, he needs a wheelchair
There are times when accepting limitations or asking for help can be just as empowering as overcoming impediments.

So if you're to busy in having too much to offer
If someone is so involved in their own life or needs, it can be difficult to focus on what is really important.

and you can not decide where to go
It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the decisions or paths that life offers, especially if one is too focused or distracted by other things.

Do the Low Yo Yo, take a swing at the Dynamo
The singer encourages he listener or any other lost souls to go out and do something creative or constructive regardless of the overwhelming difficulties ahead.

on a day like this it's hard to keep the animo from drifting away
Again, the artist struggles to maintain optimism or liveliness when faced with tough challenges or situations, but still encourages others to strive for something better.

The Greeks had it carved in a tombstone. 'epigram' they said 'last tribute to the dead' well the horror, the pain
The artist references a traditional Greek style of writing or engraving epitaphs, which are used to remember or honor the dead, but then chooses to focus on unpleasant or negative experiences instead of positive or heroic ones.

and the alphabet, from a to migraine, from nausea to z.
The artist lists the full alphabet, followed by a range of negative physical and emotional experiences. This line could indicate the extent of the author's negative experiences or the inevitability of life's dark moments. The line can be considered an epigram-like example of black humor.

Are you listenin' you fool?
In this line, the singer scorns an unknown listener for not correctly grasping the singer's message or purpose. There is a sense of anger or frustration in the meaning of the line.

You magnificent liar!
There is an accusation and sense of betrayal in this statement. The artist is calling out someone for lying, whether intentionally or not. The meaning of the expression is difficult to analyze without proper context.

Feel free but don't feel too comfortable
The singer encourages the listener or someone else to be more relaxed or casual in social situations, but advises caution or a sense of nervousness as well.

it's already quarter to three
The singer is acknowledging the late hour of the night, but by the tone of the line, it seems like there is still much to do or many things left unaccomplished.

Oh they say that time presses
The singer is repeating an adage or saying that suggests that time is of the essence or that life is short.

but time isn't pressing
The artist counters the assumption that there is always a sense of urgency in life or that time always goes by quickly. Instead, the line suggests a feeling of stagnation or lack of change or progression.

it's just a figure for motion and emotional unrest
Time is nothing but a set of measurements or concepts that can be applied to measure different things in life. These concepts can be seen as cyclical, tortuous or meaningless.

It's a matter of seeing and of being seen
There is a certain amount of self-awareness that is required to navigate social situations or to live a fulfilling life in general. The line could also indicate how superficial or transactional social interactions can be.

as far as I'm concerned time is the state of my jeans
The singer gives an ironic or absurdist response to the question of time, highlighting the low concern for the meaning of the concept in comparison to other mundane or irrelevant things.

So if you wanna come down for some hangin' around
The artist makes another invitation to the listener to come and relax or socialize. This line, in opposition to previous ones, seems like a more fun, relaxed and positive invitation.

It's the first draft of a worst case scenario (x12)
Through repetition, the line seems to refer to life itself or to a particular stage in life as an initial, undrafted draft or version of something that would go wrong eventually. The line is ambiguous but has a sense of finality that cuts the song short.
