Lysistrata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey ! Brother ! I love you, I love you
I love you so much that I kept your bones
And painted each of them in different tones
With them I built myself a hidden chest
With in it written all your last requests.
Hey ! Mother ! I love you, I love you
I love you so much that I kept your bones
And painted each of them in different tones
With them I built myself a hidden chest
With in it written all your last requests.
Paint pictures in the garden
Burn pictures in the garden
Shatter bones in the garden
Bury bones in the garden !
In the opening lines of the song, Lysistrata expresses deep love for her family members, using repetition to emphasize the depth of her affection. The repeated phrase "Hey ! Sister ! I love you, I love you" and "Hey ! Brother ! I love you, I love you" conveys a sense of intense closeness and emotional connection with her siblings. These lines lay the foundation for the forthcoming exploration of familial love and loss.
The imagery of keeping the bones of her loved ones and painting them in different tones is a metaphorical representation of preserving memories and honoring the essence of those who have passed away. By building a hidden chest with her loved ones' bones and detailing their last requests within it, Lysistrata symbolizes a sacred repository of their spirits and final wishes. This act signifies a desire for eternal remembrance and a tangible connection to her family members even beyond death.
The repetition of the same verses with the names of her father and mother highlights the universality of love and grief within the family unit. Lysistrata's devotion to her parents mirrors the emotional depth she feels for her siblings, emphasizing the enduring nature of familial bonds. The ritualistic nature of painting the bones in different tones and storing them in a chest underscores the sacredness of memory and the desire to preserve a tangible connection to those who have shaped her identity.
The concluding lines of the song evoke a sense of release, transformation, and ritualistic farewell. The juxtaposition of painting, burning, shattering, and burying in the garden suggests a cathartic process of letting go of the physical remnants of her loved ones while honoring their memory. The garden setting symbolizes a space of growth, renewal, and cyclical nature, reflecting the complex emotions of love, loss, and transcendence woven throughout the song. Overall, "Asylum" by Lysistrata captures a poignant exploration of familial love, memory, and legacy through evocative imagery and introspective storytelling.
