The Death of Song
White Hassle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just read about it
It was long overdue
There's no doubt about that
They've finally put an end to all this nonsense
Let it rest in peace
It had a few good moments
Thank god for the death of song
So long to a pain in the ear
No more of the same old thing
No more a song you will hear
It's an art form that's had its day
It's way past its prime
Put it out to pasture
The magazine says it's about time
I love you baby, i love you
Oh baby you've done me wrong
I feel this way or that way or whatever
Thank god for the death of song
Thank god for the death of song
I just read about its demise
The goodbye was dark & rainy
Good news, blue skies.
The White Hassle's song The Death of Song is a satirical take on the music industry and how it constantly churns out the same old songs, with no originality, creativity, or meaning. The song announces the death of song, which has become long overdue and puts an end to all the nonsense. The lyrics suggest that the art form of songwriting has had its day and has become outdated and way past its prime. The song aches about how songs have become repetitive and are being recycled over and over again. However, even though the lyrics sound negative and cynical, the song also has a sense of relief and freedom, as it takes us beyond the boundaries of conventional songwriting and creates some room for more innovative and personal music.
Line by Line Meaning
The death of song has finally arrived
After a long time, the end of musical creation has occurred
I just read about it
I learned of this news through reading an article, rather than experiencing it firsthand
It was long overdue
The cessation of music has been needed for some time now
There's no doubt about that
It is unquestionable that the end of song has been needed
They've finally put an end to all this nonsense
The powers that be have ended the silliness that is music-making
Let it rest in peace
Allow music to fade into a state of tranquility
It had a few good moments
There were isolated instances when music was enjoyable
Now we've got a new lease
With the absence of song, a fresh start is possible
Thank god for the death of song
Expressing gratitude for the end of music creation
So long to a pain in the ear
Saying farewell to the painful and unpleasant sounds of music
No more of the same old thing
No longer will music be dull and repetitive
No more a song you will hear
There will be a complete absence of music in daily life
It's an art form that's had its day
Music was once a popular art form, but is now past its peak
It's way past its prime
Music is long past its most successful and influential time
Put it out to pasture
Take the outdated and irrelevant music form and get rid of it
The magazine says it's about time
A publication supports and agrees with the idea that music should end
I love you baby, i love you
A common cliché phrase repeated without meaning or purpose
Oh baby you've done me wrong
A romantic relationship has not gone as planned, possibly due to the influence of music
I feel this way or that way or whatever
Emotions expressed in a haphazard or indecisive manner
Thank god for the death of song
Still grateful for the end of music, despite prior romantic troubles involving it
I just read about its demise
Learning about the death of music
The goodbye was dark & rainy
The farewell to music was somber and unhappy
Good news, blue skies.
Despite the gloomy goodbye to music, the future now looks bright and optimistic
