Monologues 1980
Rusa Militan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dance for the bliss, when you go
The rum, ham, and the frost jokes
rockets in our throat
We bend down there
Blur and desperate
Wait and there she says d
Many stars we sing, its very beautifool
But now thats become our radio show
I want more sunbathe monologues
We and the wrong thing, will remember it
Not because is the wrong of my direction
Not because the wrong direction i see
Properly, something wrong aye
Properly, something wrong
The song Monologues 1980 by Rusa Militan begins with the image of people lighting up torches and dancing for joy, perhaps celebrating something. The next line mentions rum, ham, and frost jokes, which seem like festive drinks and food that adds to the celebration. The third line, "rockets in our throat," adds an element of excitement and energy to the scene.
As the song progresses, the tone changes to a more introspective and melancholy one. The singer talks about bending down, feeling blurred and desperate, and waiting for something. But then, there's a glimmer of hope when someone says to see the rainbow. The singer goes on to say that they sing about many stars and how beautiful they are, but now, that's just become their radio show. The line "I want more sunbathe monologues" could represent a desire for more personal and meaningful interactions, as opposed to just listening to the same old stuff on the radio.
The song ends with the singer acknowledging that something's wrong, but not because of their direction or what they see. It's something that's "wrong aye" and "wrong" in a more general sense, perhaps hinting at a larger societal issue. The lyrics overall seem to convey a sense of disillusionment and longing for something better.
Line by Line Meaning
People light up the torch
People ignite the fire that guides us to our goal
Dance for the bliss, when you go
Celebrate life's joys while they last, for time is fleeting
The rum, ham, and the frost jokes
The jokes, drinks, and merriment we share
rockets in our throat
Our passion and energy overflowing and bursting from within
We bend down there
We lower ourselves to a humble position
Blur and desperate
Confused and helpless
Wait and there she says d
We wait in anticipation for her to speak
See the rainbow ooohhh
We witness the beauty of diversity and hope
Many stars we sing, its very beautifool
We sing praises of the many talents and achievements of our peers, a truly beautiful sight
But now thats become our radio show
But it seems like we have lost touch with that beauty, and it has become just another thing we consume
I want more sunbathe monologues
I want more moments to bask in the warmth and solitude of my own thoughts
We and the wrong thing, will remember it
We will always remember the mistakes we made, even if they were the wrong choices
Not because is the wrong of my direction
Not because it was the wrong path I took
Not because the wrong direction i see
Not because I can't see the right way
Properly, something wrong aye
Something just isn't quite right, and I can feel it
