Lost Highway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The single line "Dick Laurent is dead" in the Lost Highway's song "Police" has been widely regarded as a mysterious and perplexing phrase. First and foremost, the band itself has never explained the meaning behind it, leaving it up to the audience's interpretation. In most basic terms, the phrase could be interpreted as a statement confirming the death of someone named Dick Laurent. However, the context in which the phrase appears in the song raises questions, particularly when it is paired with eerie electronic music and sound effects.
One interpretation suggests that "Dick Laurent" could be an anagram for "Interlude Track," which is the name of the song played during the truck driver's brutal murder scene in David Lynch's 1997 film, "Lost Highway". In the film, the phrase "Dick Laurent is dead" is spoken by a mysterious figure, leading some to think that the line in the song is an indirect reference to this scene. Another interpretation suggests that the line could be a metaphor representing the death of a certain aspect or character in an individual's life. The haunting and disturbing tone of the song further emphasizes this theory.
