Triangle
The Hu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do all three have a common shore?
Master, lord, and queen
Do all three have a common interest?
The lord bows in the master′s presence
The master is spineless in his wife's presence
Greedy master incites and incites
Black crow sneaks and sneaks
Snobby queen glares and glares
Vociferous goose gossips and gossips
Squinty lord creeps and creeps
Alas alas
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Do this, do that, unite
Do all three have matching letters?
Eating, drinking, and feasting
Do all three have the same meaning?
Sable cuffs sway and sway
Chubby fingers wiggle and wiggle
Hooded eyes wink and wink
Plump cheeks puff and puff
Squinty eyes sparkle and sparkle
Badge finial waves and waves
Alas alas
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Winning, losing, and merging
Do all three have the same stomach?
Master, lord, and queen
Do all three have a common interest?
The size of the lord is as of a cattle
The heart of him is as of a rabbit
He behaves in awful manner
His queen is the same
Master himself is like a donkey
Guarding his wealth like a dog
Alas alas
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Ee yeh buuvuu
Do this, do that, and unite
Do all three have matching letters?
Eating, drinking, and feasting
Do all three have the same meaning?
Winning, losing, and merging
Do all three have the same stomach?
Master, lord, and queen
Do all three have a common interest?
The lyrics of The Hu's song "Triangle" explore the dynamics of power and hierarchy by using metaphors of animals and different roles within a society. The song raises questions about whether individuals in positions of power share common ground or interests.
In the first verse, the lyrics mention a kite, crow, and goose, asking if they have a common shore. These animals represent different roles or individuals within a social structure. Similarly, the master, lord, and queen mentioned in the next line symbolize different positions of authority. The lyrics question whether these individuals with different titles and roles share any common interests.
The second part of the song describes the behavior and interactions of these individuals. The lord bows in the presence of the master, showing a submissive attitude. The master, on the other hand, is depicted as spineless in front of his wife. This suggests a power dynamic where different individuals manipulate or bow down to others depending on the context.
The chorus, repeated throughout the song, expresses a sense of resignation or disappointment. It is unclear what "Ee yeh buuvuu" means or if it holds any specific significance. However, it adds an emotive quality and reinforces the feeling of lamentation present in the lyrics.
Overall, "Triangle" delves into the complexities of power, hierarchy, and relationships within a social structure, using animal metaphors and contrasting behaviors to illustrate its themes.
