Bellona
Junior Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This song is gonna be so loud
You know one thing you told me?
You have a new name now
(This time I'll stay for good)
We'll do that flash gold
Where have those far days got to now?
I saw him in the part-shade
He put his hands down low
What else did I see?
What else did they show?
You think it's so unlike me
Why did the city change me?
Red sky, my eyes closed
The fire came so slow
(This time I'll stay for good)
The first verse of Junior Boys' song Bellona starts off with the singer describing how days are getting longer and how the song is going to be played loudly. The next line, "you know one thing you told me?" is directed at someone who has given him/her a new name. The new name is not explicitly stated, but it suggests a change in identity or a new beginning. The line "This time I'll stay for good" is repeated twice, signifying a resignation to stay grounded in the present moment, and perhaps, not succumb to the lure of the past or the future.
The second verse starts with the line "We'll do that flash gold," which may be interpreted as a desire to achieve something flashy or impressive. The burning of the shadow, which appears paradoxical, suggests the singer's intention to leave behind his/her obscurities and be noticed. The next line "Where have those far days got to now" suggests a longing for the past; the desire to cling on to the innocence or the joys of the past while in the present.
The chorus repeats the phrase "This time I'll stay for good," emphasizing the artist's desire to change, evolve, and stay in the present moment. The final line "The fire came so slow" suggests that the singer is experiencing a slow-burning transformation, and is in no rush to reach a new phase.
