Song For Lovers
The Dø Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who don't care if they don't sleep
If dragonflies with heavy hearts
Cut the air like darts
Here's a song for lovers
Who won't ever have to weep
Clear sighted eyes and uncried tears
Ooh
You were far too young, dear
To get so close to the clouds
No one told you to stay awake
For pleasures of that kind
You were far too small to set foot
Outside of your house
Now you saw how dragonflies
Sting their hearts with darts
Ooh
Here's a song for lovers
Who don't care if they bleed
The Dø's Song For Lovers is a beautiful song that explores the intense emotions and experiences of lovers who are willing to embrace the highs and lows of their relationship. The first verse sets the tone by expressing that this is a song for lovers who don't care if they don't sleep, indicating that this is a passionate and intense love that consumes the individuals involved. The metaphor of dragonflies with heavy hearts cutting the air like darts suggests that even though the lovers are flying high in their love, their hearts still carry a weight that pierces through their emotions.
The second verse reflects on the beauty of a love where neither partner has to weep, and their tears are all dried out in the sun. This indicates that the lovers have overcome difficult times and are now in a place where they can enjoy their love without the burden of past pain. The chorus repeats the phrase "here's a song for lovers" twice, emphasizing that this is a love song specifically for those who are willing to take risks and explore the depths of their connection.
The third and final verse speaks to a specific lover who may have been too young or inexperienced to handle the intensity of their love. The line "no one told you to stay awake for pleasures of that kind" suggests that society has frowned upon this kind of love, but the individuals involved are still willing to take the risk. The metaphor of the dragonfly stinging its heart with darts reflects the pain that can come with such intensity.

Here’s a song for lovers who don’t care if they don’t sleep
If dragonflies with heavy hearts cut the air like darts
Here’s a song for lovers who won’t ever have to weep
Clear-sighted eyes and uncried tears all dried out in the sun
You were far too young, dear to get so close to the clouds
No one told you to stay away from pleasures of that kind
You were far too small to step foot outside of your house
Now you know how dragonflies can sting the hearts like darts
Here’s a song for lovers who don’t care if they bleed
