Domino
Toulouse Lautrec Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ești Agatha Christie, sunt Hercule Poirot,
Ești mai tristă, îți compun ceva în do
Despre două piese, un șir de domino.
Tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tiiic
Tot dezastrul are un ritm
Nu am mâini să te ridic,
Două momente o linie întind.
Do-mi-no, domino, do-mi-no, domino, do-mi-no, domino, do-mi-no, domino
The lyrics to Toulouse Lautrec's song "Domino" describe a relationship between two people who are linked together like a line of dominoes waiting to fall. The singer compares himself to a piece in that line, while addressing his partner as Agatha Christie and himself as Hercule Poirot, drawing parallels to the famous detective duo. He acknowledges her sadness and promises to compose something in the key of C in response to her emotional state. The ticking sound in the background represents the inevitability of the domino effect, and the "total disaster" that follows when the chain reaction begins.
The song seems to be describing a moment of vulnerability between two people, as they stand on the brink of a possible collapse. The singer offers himself up as a support, despite admitting that he is just another piece in the line of dominoes. The lyrics are melancholic but hopeful, suggesting that even in the darkest moments, there is always a chance for redemption or recovery.
