Eucharist
Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wrote a song called 'Kiss Me', and soon it was pay day
A terraced house in that country, I thought that would do for me
It's seemed to be the lilac time, but when the lilac died
I went back to town and cried, I need someone who'll always love me
The day after someone dies, waking little lesser lies
Why do the wicked seem to survive, Eucharist song
They'll never see my happy home, you see them everyday
I know you want to say, you won't forget we'll always love you
When you're young and you fall down and cry
When you're old and you fall down and died
I am in between, there will never be
Anywhere or sincere with anyone that I find dear
Checking in around twilight, the hotel where we board the tonight
I run a path and pack some books, which we will embrace
Told me that your father died, when you buried him you cried
You're sorry and you are surprised, he died and you were born
So you don't have to mourn, live your life alone, always love you
Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
The song "Eucharist" by Duffy is a melancholic piece that reflects on the hardships of life and the tragedy of losing loved ones. The first verse paints a picture of humble beginnings, with the singer being born into poverty and later finding success in music with the song "Kiss Me". However, he still feels incomplete and longs for someone who will love him unconditionally. The chorus of the song refers to the Eucharist, a Christian sacrament that commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with his disciples before his crucifixion. The singer questions why the wicked seem to thrive while good people suffer and die. He also mourns the moments in life that were taken for granted and laments the fact that no one will ever see his happy home.
The second verse introduces another character, someone who reveals that they recently lost their father and still feels the pain of that loss. The singer sympathizes with them and encourages them to live their life without regrets, assuring them of his love and support. The song ends with a series of repetitions of "I love you", underscoring the message of the importance of love and connection in the face of life's challenges and tragedies.
Overall, "Eucharist" is a poignant reflection on the fragility of life and the power of love to comfort and sustain us through difficult times.
