Mr. Hankey's Christas Classics Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tu sais que c'est dead Tu sais que c'est dead
Tu sais que c'est dead mais tu joue oui dans ma tête
Tu sais que c'est dead
C'est dead c'est dead
Hummm pourquoi se prendre la tête
Tu sais que c'est dead
Passons à autre chose
pendant des années j'étais ta chose

Pas de sentiments
Une relation nonchalante
Des efforts a sens unique
Tu me reprochais des dingueries
Mais en vrai tu faisais pire
Tu te faisais plier par les copains d'a côté toujours des grands sourires
Quand tu te faisais accosté
C'est dead c'est dead
Hummm pourquoi se prendre la tête
Tu sais que c'est dead
Tic tac le temps s'est arrêté
l'horloge de mon coeur
A cessé de fonctionner
Tic tac le temps s'est arrêté
l'horloge de mon coeur
Ne resteras pas figée
Cé yo premié ké diw fo kité Mwen
Yo Jiss paré baw an koud demain
Dé boug ki lé géré san lendemain

Mwen ka kité alé sans probleme
Mwen paka viré an problème

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Dead Dead Dead" by Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics depict a situation where the singer is reflecting on a past relationship that has come to an end. The repetition of the phrase "tu sais que c'est dead" (you know it's dead) emphasizes the fact that the relationship had died out long ago. Despite this, the person keeps playing in the singer's head, which is confusing for him. The singer acknowledges that it is pointless to dwell on the past and suggests moving on. He reflects on the one-sided relationship where he was just a thing for the other person and there were no heartfelt emotions or efforts from them. The other person always had a smiling face whenever they were with their friends, but they did not treat the singer with the same respect. The singer has now decided to let go and move on in life.

The lyrics of this song convey a universal theme of coming to terms with the end of a relationship and learning to move on. The singer finally realizes that holding on to something that is dead is pointless and only causes more pain. He understands that he deserves to be treated better and is ready to face the world with a fresh perspective. The use of the clock metaphor reinforces the idea that time has stopped for the singer as he refuses to move on from the past. However, he accepts that the clock will start ticking again, and life will go on.
