Having released four acclaimed studio albums during the last 7 years, the band is one of the most productive and beloved indie-acts in Denmark. They are both darlings of the critics and enjoy a thoroughly devoted fan base.
Moi Caprice creates grandiose, romantic indiepop, that is not only clever, sophisticated and ambitious, but also astonishingly catchy and addictive. The celebrated lyrics of lead singer Michael Møller capture themes such as love and longing in a way that is poetic, profound, cerebral and dry-witted.
The band has released a Singles Collection entitled “All We Fear Is Love” .
Daisies
moi Caprice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
brittle birds can't always be ladies,
but when it's done it'll all be lost and gone,
and lately caroling the air you enslave me,
once you used to bring me down safely,
but when you land it'll all be great again,
but no one closed their eyes as to save me... at all
I thought you would follow me into those dreams
I knew you had called on me, so where are those themes...
What is the meaning of moving along when it's gone?
What is the meaning of moving along when it's done?
What is the meaning of proving I'm right when it's wrong?
And what is the meaning of running so fast when it's gone?
Daisies...
The lyrics of "Daisies" by moi Caprice are quite poetic and ambiguous, leaving room for interpretation. The first line, "Daisies cuddle up in dreams like they're babies," could be interpreted as the fragility and innocence of dreams, which are often associated with the delicate beauty of daisies. The following line, "brittle birds can't always be ladies," could be suggesting that not everything is as it seems, and just because something appears delicate, it doesn't necessarily mean it's weak.
The chorus of the song seems to be asking existential questions about the meaning of life and human behavior. "What is the meaning of moving along when it's gone?" suggests that we often keep moving forward even when we know something is over or lost. "What is the meaning of proving I'm right when it's wrong?" suggests that we often hold onto our own beliefs even when they may be incorrect. The song seems to be exploring the human tendency to cling onto things and ideas, even when they no longer serve us.
The song's title, "Daisies," could be symbolizing the impermanence of beauty and innocence in life. The lyrics seem to be exploring the idea of holding onto something that is fleeting, and the pain that comes with letting it go.
