Déjà Vu
Dingus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Dingus's song "Deja Vu" describe a sense of aimlessness and dissatisfaction with their current situation. The lyrics suggest that the band members feel stuck in a rut and are not progressing or moving forward in their musical careers. They feel trapped in a claustrophobic environment and are bored with their own performance, which seems to be putting their audience to sleep. Despite going through challenging experiences, including intimidation and facing hardships, they still don't seem to care, and they are not sure where they're headed or what they're doing.
The song also seems to reflect a sense of futility that comes from trying to please their fans. The lyrics suggest that no matter how hard they try, they are not making much progress, and their songs are becoming outdated. The line "seems like deja vu all over again" is a reference to the sense of repetition and stagnation that the band feels.
