Fleeting
Deine Lakaien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
her friend is close by no more delay
maybe we'll meet some other day
her voice had cancelled gravitation
I tried to stutter invitation
on both sides of a garden fence
in May
I knew the day will come
Fleeting isolation deadend road
Her eyes half open please don't go
there's something more to do you know
and I fell back into her arms
she shook my view of elevation
and then she talked about relation
God knows what made me feel alarmed
this moment
I knew the day will come
I knew the day will come
Fleeting isolation deadend road
Her nervous smile please don't wait
somewhere someone she'll be late
my only life my only love
she moved back as I touched her knee
she talked about independency
I faced the facts no use to strive
for more than this
I knew the day will come
I knew the day will come
Fleeting isolation deadend road
The song "Fleeting" by Deine Lakaien appears to be about a man who is trying to convince the woman he loves to stay with him, but she has other plans. The lyrics detail his attempts to persuade her to stay and his ultimate acceptance of the fact that their relationship is over. The first verse describes how he tries to persuade her to stay, but she tells him that she cannot because her friend is waiting for her. She suggests that they might meet again some other day, but it is clear that she has made up her mind to leave. The man is clearly disappointed and tries to convince her to stay, but she has already cancelled any chance of that happening. The second verse describes how the woman shakes the man's view of their relationship by talking about independence and how it is clear that she has moved on from their relationship. Despite his disappointment, the man recognizes that this is the end of the road for them and that they will never be able to recapture what they once had.
One interesting aspect of the song is the use of metaphor. The fence that separates the couple is a metaphor for the emotional distance between them, while the phrase "fleeting isolation dead-end road" suggests that the relationship has come to a standstill. Another interesting aspect of the song is its focus on the man's perspective. While we hear the woman's voice in the lyrics, the song is clearly all about the man's efforts to keep the relationship alive, and his eventual recognition that it is time to move on. Overall, the song is a poignant portrayal of the end of a relationship, and the emotions that come with it.
