Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
And think I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst and what is best
Oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Say it again
I said oh oh domino
I said oh oh domino
There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
I said oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Say it again
Oh oh domino
I said oh oh domino.
"Domino" by Van Morrison is a song that reflects a desire for change in one's life. The opening lines of the song convey the need for a significant shift, perhaps in lifestyle or attitude. The singer of the song does not wish to discuss the matter but instead wants to go underground and take some heavy rest to avoid worrying about what is best or worst. The chorus of the song consists of repeated lines, "Roll me over, Romeo, there you go," and "Oh, oh, Domino" repeating the urgency for change.
The second verse carries the theme of the song forward, expressing the idea of no need for an argument. The singer suggests that not hearing from someone may not mean that they aren't interested, but rather that they didn't call or decide not to connect. It reflects the variability of communication and relationships that can occur in one's life.
In conclusion, "Domino" by Van Morrison is a song about the need for change and adapting to different situations. It highlights the importance of rest to avoid worrying about the future and the fluctuations of relationships.
