Their music has always been lively and full of innovation, that makes Minerve unique. They live their music and want to experience it with their fans. Always openminded for new impressions, they don´t feel like belonging to any scene or any special style of music, but want to broaden their minds and want to capture new worlds. Surely they are a contrast to the common rock music, but with their performance and their professional drummer Minerve appear as a serious rocking live band. Especially for that reason Minerve supported either bands like The Crüxshadows, Iris, Psyche, Spektralized, Lowe or were a part of mass events like the Night of Fights, Party for the Masses or Pluswelt Festival where they could show all of their qualities in front of hundreds of fans.
In 2005 the band was also nominated for the "Deutscher Rock & Pop Preis" in the category "best electronic pop act" and reached the third position at this mainstream event.
After releasing of "My universe" in 2006 the band entered the German Alternative Charts at the 16th position and some other charts or playlists worldwide. Their newest album "Sensefiction" shows once again that Minerve is a pearl within the sea of music, that is worth discovery...
Don't Ask Me Why
Minerve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is nothing we could do
Its just too late to say
The right words
But you could see
How destructive we can be
There was no way to keep
The love we lost
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
You're searching for answers for anything
To understand the happening
Don't ask me why
Don't ask me why
We hate ourselves cause of everything
Its awful like a poision string
So Don't ask me why
Yes its true
I feel fucked up like you do
Its just the price we pay
To play this game
Cause you can't kill
What we never had to feel
Open your eyes and see
What we have lost
The song Don't Ask Me Why by Minerve is a reflection on a failed relationship where there was an inability to sustain or rescue the love that was once present. The initial lyrics highlight a sense of helplessness and futility that often comes with recognising the end of a partnership. The lines "There is nothing we could do" and "there was no way to keep the love we lost" come across as regretful admissions of defeat, and acceptance of the situation.
The chorus of the song is the singer asking the listener not to ask why it all went wrong. It seems like the singer understands that there is no satisfactory answer that would bring closure or meaning to the breakup. The lines "You're searching for answers for anything to understand the happening" and "We hate ourselves cause of everything" suggest that delving too deeply into "why" can lead to self-blame and regret. The final lines of the chorus "Its awful like a poison string, so Don't ask me Why" carry a bitter sentiment with them, highlighting the pain and damage that can come from insisting on explanations.
The closing lines of the song suggest a shared sense of exhaustion and defeat that the lovers feel. The line "Yes its true, I feel fucked up like you do" creates a sense of commonality despite any differences that might have culminated in the breakup. The final line "Open your eyes and see what we have lost" again alludes to acceptance, but also the idea that the break-up might symbolize something greater than the individual relationship.
