Hallelujah
I’ve been having some strange dreams lately. Found a man in my bed saying “I am not dead yet”. He had a haircut like Elvis Presley. “My name is Jeff Buckley and I’ll make you sing…
Hallelujah”
Hallelujan”
“I’ve been doing some research on you. I found ghosts in your closets and dead dogs buried under your floor. I am used to this dishonest misbehaviour. Don’t play tricks on me ‘cause I could be your saviour.”
Hallelujah
My mum said I needed some gratification. “Public radio station serve my son a song. ‘Cause I know that he will sing along. So this one’s for you my darling, one two…
Hallelujah”
In the lyrics of De/Vision's song "Some Strange Affairs," the singer describes a series of strange dreams they have been having recently. The dreams involve encounters with various characters who make unexpected and provocative statements. In the first dream, the singer in the Ark expresses a desire to have a child with the singer, describing the physical features of the imagined child. This could symbolize a desire for connection or creation in the singer's subconscious mind. The repeated use of the word "Hallelujah" throughout the song could suggest a sense of spiritual awakening or revelation in the dream sequences.
The second dream involves finding a man in the singer's bed who resembles Elvis Presley but identifies himself as Jeff Buckley. This merging of two iconic musicians may represent a blending of influences or conflicting identities within the singer's psyche. The man's statement "I am not dead yet" could signify unresolved issues or emotions lingering in the singer's subconscious. The mention of making the singer sing "Hallelujah" again connects to themes of emotional release or expression through music.
In the third dream, the singer seeks guidance or clarity from Jan, who offers to interpret the surreal events into something more understandable or grounded in reality. This exchange implies a search for meaning or resolution amid the confusion of the strange dreams. The reference to "Hallelujan" may suggest a distorted or altered version of the familiar refrain, highlighting the dreamlike and unsettling nature of the experiences.
The final verse introduces a new character, possibly a figure of authority or judgment, who reveals disturbing information about the singer's past. The mention of ghosts in closets and buried dogs suggests hidden secrets or painful memories that have been uncovered. The character warns against deceptive behavior and offers the possibility of redemption or salvation. The mother's plea for gratification through a radio song reflects a desire for recognition or validation, emphasizing the importance of music as a means of connection and communication. The final "Hallelujah" serves as a poignant conclusion to the song, encapsulating the complex emotions and revelations conveyed throughout the dreams.
