Eringzo
D.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tried to warn the native life before it was too late
Prinches was a tragedy, his duty as a crow
A problem quite familiar to the prophet Eringzo
Long and long ago
To these shores came my Phoenician crows
Telling all who′ll listen "soon your lives will turn to waste"
No one saw their wisdom and their disbelief would grow
A question quite familiar to the prophet Eringzo
How did he know?
If we believe you
Where is it that we shall go?
Leaving once again a world of doom a change he gave
If the dog had a brain, precious life could have been saved
A tear in his eye, he waved goodbye, the future will soon show
Another mission has failed again
When will they hear you Eringzo
When will they know
The lyrics of D.I.'s song "Eringzo" tell the story of a prophet named Eringzo who possessed knowledge of true fate and attempted to warn the native life of an impending tragedy. The song reflects on a time long ago when Phoenician crows arrived on the shores, symbolizing the arrival of warnings and prophecies.
The verse mentions Dodger dogs, which can be seen as a metaphor for people who are constantly in a rush, oblivious to the impending disaster. The crows, representing the wise and knowledgeable individuals, warn about the approaching doom, but no one pays attention, leading to a growing disbelief in their wisdom. This skepticism is a familiar challenge faced by the prophet Eringzo.
The lyrics raise a question of how Eringzo acquired this knowledge and how he became aware of the impending disaster. It suggests that if people choose to believe him, they need to consider where they will go to escape the impending doom. This question highlights the urgency and seriousness of the situation.
As Eringzo leaves, the lyrics express a sense of disappointment and frustration. It implies that if the people had listened and taken action, lives could have been saved. With a tear in his eye, Eringzo bids farewell, implying a sense of sadness for the future consequences that will soon be revealed. The final lines express the prophet's disappointment in yet another failed mission, questioning when people will finally hear and understand the messages he is trying to convey.
Overall, the lyrics of "Eringzo" tell a cautionary tale about the failure of people to heed warnings and the consequences that follow. The song emphasizes the importance of paying attention to those with wisdom and insight, as well as the need for action in the face of impending disaster.
