A Dirge for Love
Trisomie 21 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm coming back soon
There's nothing to be said about it
Work to be done
Boys will be boys - With the help of heaven
So much wealth for you
The (more) you speak, the more people listen to you
Boys will be boys - With the help of heaven You wait for me, won't you?
I'm coming back - Work to be done
There's nothing to be said about it
Won't the girl's love die young?
Boys will be boys - With the help of fever
Boys will be boys - With the help of freedom
The (more) you speak, the more people listen to you
It's difficult to know oneself well
For the help of heaven
Will the (?) love die young
With the help of heaven
Boys will be boys
The (more) you speak, the more people listen to you
It's difficult to know oneself well
The song "A Dirge for Love" by Trisomie 21 talks about the complexities of love and the struggles that come along with it. The first lines of the song refer to someone waiting for the singer, which shows a level of commitment and devotion. The singer promises to return soon and talks about the work that needs to be done, suggesting that perhaps he has been away for a while and that there is a sense of urgency to get things done upon his return. The line "Boys will be boys - With the help of heaven" signifies a belief in destiny, as though things will inevitably work out in the end no matter what.
The next lines touch on the power of wealth and how it can influence people's perception of someone. The more a person speaks, the more others listen, which is a factor that can ultimately help or hinder one's success. The line "Won't the girl's love die young?" speaks to the fragility of love and how it can be fleeting, particularly if it is not nurtured and cared for properly. The phrase "Boys will be boys - With the help of fever" refers to the passionate and sometimes reckless nature of young men, while "Boys will be boys - With the help of freedom" suggests a desire for independence and a lack of desire to conform to societal norms. The song ends on a contemplative note, with the singer admitting that it can be difficult to truly know oneself and hoping for the help of heaven to guide him in his journey.
