Donald Domesky
Prawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could only remember what you said. Something along the lines
How time takes as all.
So lets use our arms as oars to tread to the nearest shore.
Haven't you played this all our in your head before?
I know you're still the king in your runaway dreams
But in my mind you represent a social being whose moral is dead
So you cling to the nearest anchor whom you deem justifiable.
So you come off the edge and meet me more than halfway.
The lyrics to Prawn's song "Donald Domesky" are quite introspective and contemplative. The first verse expresses a sentiment of holding onto what we can and trying to remember something that was said about how time affects us all. The idea of using arms as oars to tread to the nearest shore is a metaphor for making progress and not giving up. The second verse seems to be addressing a specific person, perhaps named Donald Domesky. The singer seems to be implying that Donald has runaway dreams and is still the king of his own world, but in reality he represents a social being with a dead moral compass. Donald clings onto what he deems as justifiable, which could refer to anything from a belief system to a relationship. The chorus seems to be a call to action, urging Donald to come off the edge and meet the singer halfway.
