Dray! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could you try and end my life
Chorus:
Draygo's guilt
Still apparent
Draygo's guilt
Still
How long is long in a hellish place?
And dreams today are draining us dry
And I proclaim some loyalty frightened me
Master bold morals get reptiles and ankles
Chorus
A spiritual king has to rise or perish
And throw away the charity handouts
Blow his nose on last pound note
Scan window menus and walk away but
Chorus
Sit still
Hate from the hills
And all the bands still dream of photo-Draygo
The county of Lancs dreams of photo-Draygo
Guitars in hands that turn and stab you
And sexy with bass dreams of photo-Draygo
but
Chorus
Hate from the hills
How many times do I have to say this
I should not have to say this
But each time the blood was clear like liquid gold
The opening lines of Draygo's song "Angel" express hurt and betrayal towards someone who tried to take his life, after he gave them a chance in life. Draygo is expressing his disbelief that someone would try to harm him after he had shown them kindness. The chorus hints at the guilt that Draygo feels, but it is not clear whether this guilt is because he feels like he did something wrong, or because he feels like he shouldn't feel this way.
The second verse of the song begins to focus on Draygo's internal conflicts. He wonders how long he can last in a "hellish" place and how his dreams are being drained. He seems conflicted about his loyalty to something, which has frightened him, perhaps indicating that he is facing a crisis of faith or principles. The line "Master bold morals get reptiles and ankles" is a bit enigmatic, but could suggest that those who hold themselves up as morally superior can still be vulnerable to being attacked or bested by others who are more cunning or ruthless.
In the third verse, Draygo talks about the need for a spiritual leader to rise, and suggests that charity is not enough to solve the world's problems. He talks about blowing one's nose on a last pound note, which conveys a sense of hopelessness or despair. The final lines of the verse suggest that one can't always get what they want, even if they are lured in by the promise of something tantalizing.
The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the theme of guilt, and the repeated phrase "Hate from the hills," which may suggest that there are unseen forces at work that are responsible for the violence and betrayal that Draygo has experienced.
