AU Dessus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smiles comes up and eyes try to hide it‘s vain
Deceptive joy spreads it‘s curse and gathers filths to join this play
Play with just one actor and fancied fame
Filled with sadness that will show up later the next day
Slugs and maggots with human dnr
Crawls with different faces from frigid places
Their bodies smeared with pitch black dirt,
Are we humans that can‘t cope with sharing talk
Hearing thoughts which were addressed to them
Where are those smiles when no one is looking
Where‘s that joy which was shown on stage yesterday.
The lyrics of "V" by AU Dessus paint a picture of the inherent ugliness that lies beneath the surface of human interactions. The curtain falls on a performance, revealing the act for what it really is - an empty facade. The smiles that were once plastered on the actors' faces are now gone, and their eyes betray the emptiness within. The joy that was once shared has now become a curse, attracting filth and corruption to the stage. The play is revealed to be a one-man show, fueled by the actor's desire for fame and recognition. The sadness that is hinted at here will become all too apparent the next day, as the sordid underbelly of human nature is exposed.
The song goes on to describe the other players in this twisted drama. Slugs and maggots with human DNA crawl out of frigid places, their faces twisted into grotesque masks of false mirth. Their bodies are smeared with pitch-black dirt, a shameful color that represents the darkness lurking within their souls. The question is asked - are we humans really incapable of true communication? Do we only smile and nod when someone speaks to us, unable to truly engage? Are the smiles and the laughter all just for show, disappearing the moment no one is looking? The song seems to be a condemnation of the superficiality and falsity that so often pervade human interaction.
