Starting out as a hip-hop producer at the age of 13, Dapperton made the switch to his current sound after a serious hospitalisation and the failure of his laptop.
Pairing infectious, nostalgia-laden tunes with high-concept filmclips, lauded for their high-concept cinematic execution, has proven to be a recipe for success. Blowing up through 2017, with two EPs dropped, and fans and the press alike taking notice, Dapperton's future looks bright.
I Have Lost My Pearl
Gus Dapperton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don’t make a peep and wake a vacant spark
Please don't eek
Don’t make a creek and shake her aching heart
She's so sweet
Don’t make a scene and break her brazen charm
She's so weak
Just leave her be a ways away from harm Stop with gawking
Making mockeries to seize the light
Stop with talk
Your gaping chops will taunt and tease her might
Soft like cotton
Breaking constantly she has tears to wipe
Watch her blossom, oh
Worth your ear, huh?
Hurts to hear, huh?
Hold your mutter
If you love her, leave these dreams to grow
Hold your blunder
She won’t run from greed with reek of hope
Fold like butter
Under summer breeze a pleasing cold
Phony lover, no
Worth your ear, huh?
Hurts to hear, huh?
Worth your ear, huh?
Hurts to hear, huh?
Wait up sir
What have you heard?
For I'm not hurt
I have lost my pearls
Both my pearls
The lyrics of Gus Dapperton's "I Have Lost My Pearl" speaks about protecting someone who is fragile and vulnerable after a heartbreak. The singer is telling someone to be gentle and not to disturb another person who is already hurting. He implores them not to provoke or make a scene and to be mindful of their words and actions. The singer emphasized the need to protect the person from further emotional damage by leaving them alone even if it means letting them be a little distance away from harm. He also warns against making fun of someone who is vulnerable because it only adds insult to injury.
The chorus "Worth your ear, huh? Hurts to hear, huh?" emphasizes that the message he is conveying may be difficult to accept or understand. The singer then addresses someone else who may have heard something about him and reassures them that he is not hurt but he has lost something very precious to him - his pearls. While the lyrics may seem straightforward, there are broader themes of love, heartbreak, and the need to care for those who are vulnerable in society.
