Carte Blanche
Dave Pearce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, I love you
Do you trust me?
Yes I do
Do you love me?
Yes, I love you
And you trust me?
I'm not sure
Though nothing's really wrong
And it doesn't take a jealous man
To sing a jealous song
So you love me?
Yes, I love you
And you trust me?
Yes I do
Do you know me?
You don't know me
You can trust me
I don't know
Now the lilac's lost its fragrance
And the soil has turned to dust
And it doesn't take a trusting man
To sing a song of trust
Is it over?
It feels over
Don't you trust me?
No I don't
The lyrics of Dave Pearce's "Carte Blanche" are about love, trust, and the fragility of relationships. The song is essentially a conversation between two people, with the first person asking if the second person loves and trusts them. The second person answers yes to both questions, but when asked if they know the first person or if they can be trusted in return, they are unsure. The song then goes on to describe how the stars are "sick of shining" and how the lilac has lost its fragrance, which serves as a metaphor for the falling out of love and the loss of trust in the relationship. The song ends with the second person admitting that they no longer trust the first person and that it feels like the relationship is over.
What makes "Carte Blanche" such an interesting song is how it tackles the complex issues of love and trust in relationships. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and listeners can draw their conclusions about what led to the breakdown of the relationship. It's also worth noting that the melody of the song is hauntingly beautiful, and the music complements the lyrics perfectly.
