Van Gogh
뎁트 (Dept) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got something like a funny feeling
Stare at self portraits 'til I cry
Take it away, take it away
Just take it away
A cafe terrace gleaming in the nightime
Where I sit and write my mind
Don't take it away, take it away
Don't take it away

Wish you could see what I see babe
Before it really is too late
I know sometimes it's hard to take a step away
If I could gather some words to explain
It's almost like light shines through your pain
Emotion I never knew awake
But at the time I didn't know
One in a million things you showed
Straight from your heart miles apart
Who was it for?
I got something like a funny feeling
Stare at self portraits 'til I cry
Take it away, take it away
Just take it away
A cafe terrace gleaming in the nightime
Where I sit and write my mind
Don't take it away, take it away
Don't take it away

I wouldn't say I have misfortune
'Cause there's nothing I would change
I'm just waiting for my moment
But is it in vain (is it in vain)
And every piece that I've been painting
Should I throw them all away
The night cafe
Flower vases, bring me pain
I wrote my pain to what you hear
But I know that they don't care
But I know that you don't care
I'm sorry for whatever I put you through
It's not easy putting down
All of your love on a canvas but you
I got something like a funny feeling
Stare at self portraits 'til I cry
Take it away, take it away
Just take it away
A cafe terrace gleaming in the nightime
Where I sit and write my mind




Don't take it away, take it away
Don't take it away

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Van Gogh" by 뎁트 (Dept), the singer begins by expressing a deep emotional response, indicated by a "funny feeling" as they look at self-portraits until they cry. This act of introspection and self-reflection seems to stir up intense emotions within them. The repetition of "take it away" suggests a desire to rid themselves of these overwhelming feelings, indicating a struggle to cope with the intensity of their emotions.


The imagery of a cafe terrace gleaming in the nighttime where the singer sits to write their mind adds a layer of contemplation and solitude to the lyrics. The setting implies a moment of quiet reflection and creativity, perhaps akin to the moments of solitude Vincent van Gogh himself sought in his own life. Despite the emotional turmoil expressed earlier, there is a plea to not take this creative space and emotional outlet away, underlining its importance to the singer.


The singer then transitions to a more introspective perspective, wishing the listener or a loved one could see the world through their eyes before it's too late. This plea for understanding and connection is accompanied by a recognition of the difficulty in communicating one's emotions. The mention of light shining through pain and awakening unknown emotions suggests a transformative experience that is both enlightening and challenging to navigate.


The mention of self-doubt and self-criticism in the lines about "misfortune" and questioning the value of their artistic creations adds a layer of vulnerability to the lyrics. The singer grapples with feelings of inadequacy and questions the worth of their artistic endeavors, wondering if they should discard their creations or if they are truly understood by others. The acknowledgment of pain and the apology for any hardships caused indicate a deep sense of remorse and a longing for acceptance and understanding. Overall, the song "Van Gogh" delves into themes of introspection, creative struggles, emotional turmoil, and the desire for connection and validation in the face of inner turmoil.


Line by Line Meaning

I got something like a funny feeling
Experiencing a mix of emotions that are hard to explain


Stare at self portraits 'til I cry
Reflecting deeply on my own image until tears fall


Take it away, take it away
Trying to remove overwhelming emotions


Just take it away
Simply wanting the emotional burden to be gone


A cafe terrace gleaming in the nightime
Sitting under the shining lights of a cafe terrace at night


Where I sit and write my mind
Taking time to express my thoughts through writing


Don't take it away, take it away
Begging for the peaceful atmosphere to remain


Wish you could see what I see babe
Hoping you could understand my perspective


Before it really is too late
Before the true essence is lost forever


I know sometimes it's hard to take a step away
Recognizing the difficulty in gaining perspective


If I could gather some words to explain
Attempting to find the right words to describe


It's almost like light shines through your pain
Seeing beauty emerge from your struggles


Emotion I never knew awake
Feeling a new level of emotion awakening


But at the time I didn't know
Unaware of the impact in the moment


One in a million things you showed
Revealing something truly unique


Straight from your heart miles apart
Sharing deep emotions despite physical distance


Who was it for?
Questioning the intended recipient of the expression


I wouldn't say I have misfortune
Not considering myself unlucky


'Cause there's nothing I would change
Content with the way things have unfolded


I'm just waiting for my moment
Anticipating a significant opportunity


But is it in vain (is it in vain)
Questioning if the wait will be worth it


And every piece that I've been painting
Every creation that I've poured my soul into


Should I throw them all away
Considering discarding my artistic creations


The night cafe
The dark, haunting atmosphere of the cafe


Flower vases, bring me pain
The sight of flower vases triggers unpleasant emotions


I wrote my pain to what you hear
Expressing my pain through the words you listen to


But I know that they don't care
Realizing that some may not understand or empathize


But I know that you don't care
Acknowledging that you may not appreciate my emotions


I'm sorry for whatever I put you through
Expressing regret for any distress caused


It's not easy putting down
Expressing emotions is not a simple task


All of your love on a canvas but you
Turning intense emotions into art for you to see

I got something like a funny feeling
Stare at self-portraits 'til I cry
Take it away, take it away
Just take it away
A cafe terrace gleaming in the nighttime
Where I sit and write my mind
Don't take it away, take it away
Don't take it away
Wish you could see what I see, babe
Before it really is too late
I know sometimes it's hard to take a step away
If I could gather some words to explain
It's almost like light shines through your pain
Emotion I never knew awake

But I know that they don't care
But I know that you don't care, ooh, no, no
I'm sorry for whatever I put you through
It's not easy putting down
All of your love on a canvas but you
I got something like a funny feeling
Stare at self-portraits 'til I cry
Take it away, take it away
Just take it away
A cafe terrace gleaming in the nighttime
Where I sit and write my mind
Don't take it away, take it away
Don't take it away

I heard that there are many people in Indonesia who like my song ‘Van Gogh’. I am sincerely grateful to those who listen to my music. Your support gives me great strength.
This song is my tribute to the great artist ‘Van Gogh.’ The life of Van Gogh, who had an unfortunate life but left behind great works of art, resonated greatly with me.
And like Van Gogh, I also want to leave behind good creations that will be remembered for a long time.

Saya dengar banyak orang di Indonesia yang menyukai lagu saya ‘Van Gogh’. Saya dengan tulus berterima kasih kepada mereka yang mendengarkan musik saya. Dukungan Anda memberi saya kekuatan besar.
Lagu ini adalah penghormatan saya kepada seniman hebat ‘Van Gogh.’ Kehidupan Van Gogh, yang memiliki kehidupan yang malang namun meninggalkan karya seni yang hebat, sangat berkesan bagi saya.
Dan seperti Van Gogh, saya juga ingin meninggalkan kreasi bagus yang akan dikenang selamanya.

@wapaaaaaaaaa

I am a huge fan of Van Gogh. My heart was broken into a million pieces when I heard this song's melody, but this hurt is aesthetic. Thank you for this piece of art and the adorable response to Vietnamese fans.
