How Many Knives
The Dumplings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we liked the same ice-cream
I wouldn't be listening to those sad songs
About love which never exist
How many knives are there in your sleeves
How many hooks will catch me
How much water will try to put out
If we moved the same way
If we were born the same day
I wouldn't be listening to those sad songs
About love which never exist
How many knives are there in your sleeves
How many hooks will catch me
How much water will try to put out
My heart's fire
If we could start again
I would have a new plan
And I wouldn't be listening to those sad songs
About love which has never exist
How many knives are there in your sleeves
How many hooks will catch me
How much water will try to put out
My heart's fire
The Dumplings’ song “How Many Knives” is a deeply romantic but painfully melancholic track that talks about the struggle of finding love in a world where relationships often do not work out. The song is about how there are always obstacles to finding love, no matter how much passion and effort one puts into a relationship. The lyrics indicate that even if the lovers were to share the same dreams and tastes, they may still end up facing challenges that could lead them to ultimately break apart.
The song talks about the many challenges that can arise in a relationship, represented metaphorically by knives, hooks, and water. The lyrics in the chorus repeatedly ask, “How many knives are there in your sleeves, how many hooks will catch me, how much water will try to put out my heart’s fire?” These questions indicate the darkness and insecurity that often accompanies passionate and intense love.
The song ends on a hopeful note, with the possibility of starting over and finding a new plan. However, the lyrics still resonate with a forlorn tone, suggesting that even with a new start, they will still potentially face the same issues and doubts.
Overall, The Dumplings’ “How Many Knives” is a poignant reminder that while love is powerful, it can also be fragile, and that it takes determination and commitment to overcome the many obstacles that may arise in a relationship.

Dobrze wiedzieć, że na polskiej scenie muzycznej mamy takich artystów jak The Dumplings. Nieprzeciętnie, intrygująco, klimatycznie. Podoba mi się, oby tak dalej ;)
