There is another artist with the same name:
2) Savages is an electronic musician from Hungary, born in 1981 in Balassagyarmat and currently living in Budapest. He had classic musical education and played on trumpet for about 7 years, and then he got his first PC.
It was a turning-point and from that moment he was much more interested in making music with computers. His early demo tapes were inspired by the rave era and after the end of this period he became ‘more’ serious and open-minded to other musical styles like jazz, funk, soul, contemporary, etc.
Savages released his solo debut album (Five Finger Discount) in 2008 through Chameleon Records. In the same year he met Suefo (also a member of Vono Box) and they started working together on tracks and remixes. Since then they did remixes for !DelaDap, [dunkelbunt], Max Pashm, Rube, Kid Loco, [re:jazz], Danilo Venturi to name a few. The two members came from the same eclectic music scene of Budapest. They play downtempo, breaks, jazz, funk, hip-hop, dub, electro swing and all kinds of multikulti folk in their dj sets and they incorporate the same variety in their own music as well. These days they’re busy working on some new remixes and organising new clubnights to promote electroswing phenomena in Hungary.
Marshal Dear
Savages Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Marshal Dear
And you will die, you will die soon
I give you a quarter of an hour
Oh Marshal Dear
Can't you see I'm winning
Can you hear me now
Silence yourself
Silence yourself
There are suicides in every dream
Oh Marshal dear
Even more when the army's on its knees
Crowds grow crazy and fire
Oh Marshal dear
Can't you see we're losing
Can you feel it now
Silence yourself
Silence yourself
The lyrics of Savages's "Marshal Dear" paint a picture of an impending showdown between two adversaries, with one party seemingly holding the upper hand. The singer appears to address their opponent, referred to as "Marshal Dear," in a taunting manner, suggesting that they are about to meet their demise. The phrase "I hope you're breathing your last breath" encapsulates the arrogance and confidence that the singer exudes throughout the track. They are so sure of their victory that they are practically willing their opponent to die.
As the song progresses, the lyrics take on a more desperate tone, painting a picture of violence and chaos. The line "There are suicides in every dream" is a haunting image that suggests the inevitability of death and the hopeless situation that the singer finds themselves in. The use of the phrase "even more when the army's on its knees" suggests that this conflict has broader societal significance, with the outcome potentially affecting many more people than just the two adversaries.
The repeated chorus of "Silence yourself" is a command that is both forceful and poignant. It implies that the singer is weary of the conflict and wants it to end, but also speaks to a broader societal desire to stop the violence and listen to each other.
Overall, "Marshal Dear" is a powerful and thought-provoking track that speaks to the human cost of violence and conflict.
