1: Damien is a hardcore/metal-band (the expression is worn out, but it works) hailing from Karlstad, Sweden. The band was formed in early 2003 by four guys with lots of experience from other Swedish bands, some more successful than others. Originally, Damien started out as a quartet but after only a few rehearsals a second guitarist was recruited to second evolve the sound and make the live performances heavier and more massive.
After a couple of months rehearsing the band was asked to play the infamous Deadfest in Linköping (Sweden) with bands like Walls of Jericho and Undying. Damien’s performance was a complete success and the response was way better than expected. The band was of course psyched about this and went home to Karlstad to rehearse even more. This resulted in a couple of more live shows and finally a five song demo recording during the summer of 2004.
Once again the response was overwhelming and Damien was elected “Best in Sweden” (band of the month) in Swedens biggest metal magazine, Close-Up Magazine #73. This also resulted in a song (“Trucido”) on the free sampler that comes with every number of the magazine. The feature gave the band attention and a couple of record labels showed their interest in Damien, however, nothing has been signed yet.

Cause You'll hurt your knees
Well I kissed your mouth, and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
And What I am to you is not real
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask
What I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No, no just another phase of finding
What I really need is what makes me bleed
But like a new disease
Lord, she's still too young to treat
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(You do not need)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
I kissed your mouth
I kissed your mouth
I kissed your mouth
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me
In "Volcano," Damien Rice warns an undefined "you" to take care and not put too much weight on their relationship since it's not what "you" actually need. The first verse serves as an invitation of sorts, with Rice kissing "your mouth and back," but cautioning "you" not to "hold yourself like that" since it will hurt "your knees." The second half of the verse is where the metaphor of the title comes in as Rice advises "you" not to "build your world around volcanoes" because they will "melt you down." This imagery is a metaphor for the potentially explosive and destructive nature of love and relationships.
The second verse repeats the same pattern as the first, with Rice telling "you" not to throw themselves in front of him and lamenting the fact that volcanoes "melt him down." The chorus then serves as Rice's declaration that what he is to "you" isn't real, and that he's not what "you" mean to him. He sings about how "you" give him "miles and miles of mountains" while he longs for the sea. In other words, while he appreciates what "you" offer, it's not what he actually wants or needs.
The third and final verse shifts perspective slightly, with Rice declaring that what he gives "you" is simply what he's going through and that it's "nothing new." He then sings that what he really needs is something that makes him bleed, something that's like "a new disease." Rice concludes the song by repeating the chorus, still asserting that "volcanoes melt you down" and that what "you" don't actually need him.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't hold yourself like that
Cause You'll hurt your knees
Don't stand rigidly like that, it's uncomfortable and could be painful
Well I kissed your mouth, and back
But that's all I need
We shared a moment, but I'm not looking for anything more
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
Don't rely on unstable things that could destroy you
And What I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you is not what you mean to me
You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea
I feel insignificant to you, and I know I'm not essential in your life. What I get from you is great, but it's not the most important thing to me. I might even ask for something else later.
Don't throw yourself like that
In front of me
Don't be so reckless and careless around me
I kissed your mouth, your back
Is that all you need?
We made physical contact, but is that enough for you?
Don't drag my love around
Volcanoes melt me down
Don't play with my heart and emotions, I'm vulnerable enough
What I give to you
Is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
No, no just another phase of finding
What I really need is what makes me bleed
But like a new disease
Lord, she's still too young to treat
What I offer to you is just a temporary state I'm going through. I'm still looking for what I truly need, and it might be something that hurts me. But it's not fair to put that burden on someone so young and inexperienced.
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(You do not need)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volcanoes melt you down
(She's still too young)
(What I am to you)
Volatility and drama will destroy you, and it's not fair to put that on a young person. I cannot be something permanent and essential in your life.
I kissed your mouth
I kissed your mouth
I kissed your mouth
I kissed your mouth
You do not need me
We had an encounter, but you don't need me beyond that.

Don't hold yourself like that
You'll hurt your knees
Well I kissed your mouth and back
But that's all I need
Don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down
[Chorus: Damien Rice & Lisa Hannigan]

You give me miles and miles of mountains
And I'll ask for the sea

[Bridge: Damien Rice]
What I give to you

Is not real, (she's still too young)

You do not need (she's still too young)
What I am to you (oh she's still too young)

You do not need (she's still too young)
And what I am to you (oh she's still too young)
(I kissed your mouth)

Is not real, (she's still too young)
What I am to you, (oh she's still too young)

You do not need (she's still too young)
You do not need me

the best part of damien rice is that he doesn't write about love in the same fluffy way that most other singers do. he represents it in a really different light, which is something i really enjoy from him. when everyone else is singing about love more directly and really sexual, or just fluffed up... damien is singing about love when it's just raw and natural. there's no glam behind it and it's not done up. it's about the components of love and not just love itself, you know? he does it differently than everyone else. not just in the lyrical department, either. the strings and the piano are used a lot in his songs, and i admire it, because no matter what those two instruments will always be the most soothing for me instead of what i usually hear. i don't know i just really love damien rice thank you for reading this huge block of text
tldr damien sings about love 'raw' rather than 'glam' and his use of instruments is calming.
inb4 "pop is ok too sometimes" it sure is but i prefer this. have your own taste if you want
@VinylForest
He sings emotionally! I really feel it!
@1nfiniteSeek3r
it's almost like he sings about the failure to love, failing to live up to the ideal of love, his songs are honest.
@merlissamathurin309
Perfectly described why I love his music!!!
@dreamingofcottontails6601
I've been noticing lately that the majority of my favorite songs have that same essence to them. That rawness you can't quite put your finger on...that really hits the feels.
A lot of them also have cello & piano too, actually.
Re Damien...I feel like he kinda lost a lot when Lisa Flannigan stopped working with him. Such incredible harmonies. Her voice is something really special, feels
Ike it brought out the honesty & truth even more.
@vivekteega
I agree!! Even the lyrics of Blowers Daughter, the last line is so surprising(for a love song) and raw
"I can't take my mind
My mind my mind
'Til I find somebody new"
@Olafk93
Every once in a while I bump into this song by accident, and everytime I do I put it on replay for the rest of the day.
