Julia
Andrew W.K. and DJ B-Roc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oooh nee
Wees eerlijk de vibe die we hebben is heerlijk toch
Ooh ooh
Maar ik ben een gebroken boy
En jij een gebroken girl
Net scherven die geluk brengen
Maar toch een wonde achter laten
Net bloed
Je rode lippenstift
Op mijn
Onder nek
En je hand gaat langzaam naar
beneden
Wees nu effe eerlijk
Je trekt me aan
Maar ik ben romeo zonder julia
Mijn liefde verdrinkt in pijn
Want julia had een masker op
want ze wou hier niet zijn
Ouh
Je ogen verlijden me
Ze kijkt diep in me ziel
Ouh
Wat bezielt er
Want er valt niet te zien
Me hard is van steen girl
Maar Ooit doe ik me hart weer open
Maar ik ben romeo zonder julia
Mijn liefde verdrinkt in pijn
Want julia had een masker op
want ze wou hier niet zijn
Ik ben romeo zonder julia
Mijn liefde verdrinkt in pijn
Want julia had een masker op
want ze wou hier niet zijn
Ouh
These lyrics are in Dutch, but they're about a boy who feels a strong connection with a girl named Julia. Even when she's not physically present, he feels like she's thinking about him too. The boy acknowledges that they both have a certain vibe between them that feels good, but he also admits to being a broken person, just like Julia. He compares their brokenness to lucky shards that leave wounds behind. The mention of the color red seems to suggest that this love affair is passionate but painful as well.
The boy seems to be physically involved with Julia, judging by the description of her red lipstick on his neck and her hand moving downwards. However, he's fully aware that he wants her more than she wants him. He refers to himself as Romeo without his Juliet, implying a tragic love affair that's not meant to be. Even though he loves her deeply, he knows that her heart is elsewhere, and her reasons for being with him are not entirely pure.
Overall, this song conveys a mix of intense emotions, including passion, pain, love, and unrequited desire. It speaks to the heartache that comes with wanting someone who doesn't want you back and the self-doubt that arises from feeling broken and imperfect. The repeated line "julia had a mask on because she didn't want to be here" suggests that the singer is feeling less and less confident in his own ability to love and his worthiness to be loved.

Maar ik ben een gebroken boy
But I am a damaged person
En jij een gebroken girl
And you are a damaged person too
Net scherven die geluk brengen
Like pieces of broken glass that bring good fortune
Maar toch een wonde achter laten
But they still leave a wound behind
Zo rood
So red
Net bloed
Like blood
Je rode lippenstift
Your red lipstick
Op mijn
On my
Onder nek
Lower neck
En je hand gaat langzaam naar
And your hand slowly moves towards
beneden
Down there
Wees nu effe eerlijk
Be honest now
Je trekt me aan
You attract me
Maar ik ben romeo zonder julia
But I am Romeo without a Juliet
Mijn liefde verdrinkt in pijn
My love is drowning in pain
Want julia had een masker op
Because Juliet was wearing a mask
want ze wou hier niet zijn
She didn't want to be here
Ouh
Expressing surprise or emotion
Je ogen verlijden me
Your eyes enchant me
Ze kijkt diep in me ziel
They look deep into my soul
Wat bezielt er
What motivates her
Want er valt niet te zien
Because there is nothing visible
Me hard is van steen girl
My heart is made of stone, girl
Maar Ooit doe ik me hart weer open
But someday I'll open my heart again
Ik ben romeo zonder julia
I am Romeo without a Juliet
Mijn liefde verdrinkt in pijn
My love is drowning in pain
Want julia had een masker op
Because Juliet was wearing a mask
want ze wou hier niet zijn
She didn't want to be here
Ouh
Expressing surprise or emotion

I work in a funeral home. Among many other things, I regularly do haircuts & styles, makeup & nails, and even dress those who have passed away. I speak to them while I am there with them, I make sure that their clothing is as close to perfect as it can be by brushing out wrinkles or straightening collars and such, I make sure that I treat them with just as much respect and dignity as I would anyone else. Their family members and friends should never have to question or worry that their loved ones are being mistreated in any way. For me…this is the last time they will be getting their hair done, the last time they’ll be dressing in a suit and tie, this is the last time their families will get to see them and it needs to be treated with respect and reverence. There is no room for jokes at the expense of the deceased, there is no reason for degrading comments at their expense, and there is no reason for anyone who does act that way to still be employed in any funeral home. No family should ever have to find themselves in a situation such as this.

Thank you for what you do. It brings me comfort to know that there are people like you who are so gentle and careful with the departed. You are a credit to your profession.
@trishannbell5508
We have to keep perspective, these are NOT their family member any longer, these are just dead bodies, they don't feel, hear, see, their soul has left and moved on. I'm not saying they need to abuse the corpse, but its not alive in any sense.

This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve read on YouTube.

@@trishannbell5508 if they are a respectable and decent person they realize they would want their family to see them in their best light.
I remember I could tell my aunt did my moms lip liner when she was in a casket when I was nine years old. It didn’t upset me, but I knew it was her touch.
It all matters. ❤️
@pennywojtkowski3812
Thank you.

So many people aren’t kind to the living, why would we expect them to be kind to the dead?
