Daniel
Astrocowboys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

we're the kings of palestine
we respond for your decline
yes, we run on human hearts
we've created mini-marts

oh, daniel
i'm sorry to tell,
that no one will love you forever

oh, daniel
for we know you well,
nobody will love you forever

where's your father, daniel
where's your mother, daniel
are you lost without a trace?
are you sleeping at your place?

oh, daniel
i'm sorry to tell,
that no one will love you forever

oh, daniel




for we know you well,
nobody will love you forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Astrocowboys' song "Daniel" describe a group of people who claim to be the kings of Palestine and who take responsibility for the decline of others. They boast about running on human hearts and having created mini-marts, exhibiting a sense of power and control over others. However, the chorus reveals a different side to the song, as the singer expresses pity for someone named Daniel who is unlikely to find lasting love or acceptance. The questions regarding Daniel's family and his location imply that he is lost or struggling.
